Building your Project with Maven

How to build test jar and include in your war or final jar

1. Build your jar and test jar for the module.
2. When building the war, add test jar as dependency which causes the test jar to be included in the war.

Adding Resources to your jar

Simply add following entry to your build

<build>
       <resources>
		<resource>
			<directory>src/main/resources </directory>
			<includes>
				<include>**/*.xml </include>
			</includes>
		</resource>
	</resources>
</build>

Copying your dependencies in the jar

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>             
      <id>copy-dependencies</id>
      <phase>compile</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <artifactSet>
          <includes>
        <include>com.example:foo</include>
          </includes>
        </artifactSet>
        <outputDirectory>target/dependencies</outputDirectory>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin> 

Build a jar with test classes.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test-jar</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
