Using following Maven command, the version of artifacts can be updated in a multi-module maven project.
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion='new-version'
For instance, the following maven command updates the version in POM.xml files of the enclosed moduels to 7.1.0-DEV-SNAPSHOT.
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion='7.1.0-DEV-SNAPSHOT'
Note that, by default this command creates a backup of the existing POM files. In essence, it creates a pom.xml.versionBackup
for each POM file. This behavior can be disabled as follows.
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion='7.1.0-DEV-SNAPSHOT' -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
In my job, we work with a maven multi-module project. While using maven, I have discovered several commands that are quite effective during development. In this post, and in the upcoming posts I am planning to share those.
So, today's post is regarding Maven command to build a specific project. For instance, we have a project, with three modules: A
, B
, and C
, where C
depends on B
and B
depends on A
. And we are working with B
at this moment. Using following command, we can run different maven phases on module B
as follows.
mvn -pl :B clean install
We can include multiple projects as follows :A, :B
.
What is more interesting is that the following command run maven command not only this module, but also the modules that depends on it.
mvn -pl :B clean install -amd
The above command in effect includes module C
.
Using –am
command, we can include all the dependencies as well, which is module A
in this example.
Hope this helps!
