I have a java webservice and want to set separate test/build/deploy stages in gitlab-ci.
A flow would probably be simple as follows:
stages:
- test
- build
- deploy
test:
stage: clean test
script:
- mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS test
build:
stage: build
script:
- mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS package -DskipTests=true
deploy:
stage: deploy
script:
- mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS package -DskipTests=true
Problem: each maven goal will execute the preceding lifecycle goals. Eg a package or deploy goal will by default also execute the test goal. Thus having to exclude it explicit with skipTests=true.
Anyways goals like package will still be re-executed on test + deploy.
Question: can this be further optimized? I mean, I would not want to rebuild the jar on each stage. Could I tell maven to reuse the jar, and skip any preceding goals?
I know that a single deploy stage would be sufficient for maven to execute the package and test goal under the hood. But then in my gitlab I'd always have failures in the deploy stage, while eg just a junit test in the test goal failed underneath.
No, not really. Maven is not constructed to support that.
You can use skip parameters of the those plugins which have them.
Alternatively, just use two steps with mvn clean test and then mvn deploy -DskipTests=true, which should not really take longer than a single mvn clean deploy.
You can use job artifacts to access the results of previous stages (the compiled classes in this case). Also it would be reasonable to cache the local repository so that dependencies are downloaded only once. Example:
default:
image: maven:3
variables:
MAVEN_CLI_OPTS: "--batch-mode"
MAVEN_OPTS: "-Dmaven.repo.local=$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/repository"
cache:
paths:
- .m2/repository
test-compile:
stage: build
script: mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS test-compile
artifacts:
paths:
- target/
test:
stage: test
script: mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS test
# maven-compiler-plugin outputs "Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date"
artifacts:
when: always
reports:
junit:
- target/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml
deploy:
stage: deploy
script: mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS package -DskipTests
It's also possible to have unit and integration tests run in parallel this way:
I followed the walkthrough for setting up a custom authenticator spi for keycloak.I'm trying to use the example code from https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/examples/providers/authenticator .
But when I run mvn clean install wildfly:deploy i'm getting this error :
FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM for org.keycloak:keycloak-examples-parent:8.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.keycloak:keycloak-parent:pom:8.0.0-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM # org.keycloak:keycloak-examples-parent:8.0.0-SNAPSHOT, C:\Users\dazoulay\Downloads\keycloak-master\keycloak-master\examples\pom.xml, line 20, column 13
What I did :
mvn clean install
on /keycloak-master folder OK
After that I tried to follow instruction found on Github Readme
So I tried
mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
on the /keycloak-master/examples/providers/authenticator but I got the "Non-resolvable parent Error"
I also Tried the git checkout 8.0.0 but I got the same mistake.
Two solutions:
You need to start the build at the root of the of the project, not the subproject. So instead of
cd keycloak/examples/providers/authenticator
mvn clean install
do:
cd keycloak
mvn clean install
Second option, checkout a tag, then build from the subproject (this is likely the better option as it will go faster)
cd keycloak/examples/providers/authenticator
git checkout 8.0.0
mvn clean install
I'm working on a project with ~200MB dependencies and i'd like to avoid useless uploads due to my limited bandwidth.
When I push my Dockerfile (i'll attach it in a moment), I always have a ~200MB upload even if I didn't touch the pom.xml:
FROM maven:3.6.0-jdk-8-slim
WORKDIR /app
ADD pom.xml /app
RUN mvn verify clean --fail-never
COPY ./src /app/src
RUN mvn package
ENV CONFIG_FOLDER=/app/config
ENV DATA_FOLDER=/app/data
ENV GOLDENS_FOLDER=/app/goldens
ENV DEBUG_FOLDER=/app/debug
WORKDIR target
CMD ["java","-jar","-Dlogs=/app/logs", "myProject.jar"]
This Dockerfile should make a 200MB fatJAR including all the dependencies, that's why the ~200MB upload that occurs everytime. What i would like to achieve is building a Layer with all the dependencies and "tell" to the packaging phase to not include the dependencies JARs into the fatJAR but to search for them inside a given directory.
I was wondering to build a script that executes mvn dependency:copy-dependencies before the building process and then copying the directory to the container; then building a "non-fat"JAR that has all those dependencies only linked and not actually copied into it.
Is this possible?
EDIT:
I discovered that the Maven Local Repository of the container is located under /root/.m2. So I ended making a very simple script like this:
BuildDocker.sh
mvn verify -clean --fail-never
mv ~/.m2 ~/git/myProjectRepo/.m2
sudo docker build -t myName/myProject:"$1"
And edited Dockerfile like:
# Use an official Python runtime as a parent image
FROM maven:3.6.0-jdk-8-slim
# Copy my Mavne Local Repository into the container thus creating a new layer
COPY ./.m2 /root/.m2
# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app
# Copy the pom.xml
ADD pom.xml /app
# Resolve and Download all dependencies: this will be done only if the pom.xml has any changes
RUN mvn verify clean --fail-never
# Copy source code and configs
COPY ./src /app/src
# create a ThinJAR
RUN mvn package
# Run the jar
...
After the building process i stated that /root/.m2 has all the directories I but as soon as i launch the JAR i get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Priority
at myProject.ThreeMeans.calculate(ThreeMeans.java:17)
at myProject.ClusteringStartup.main(ClusteringStartup.java:7)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Priority

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:349)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
... 2 more
Maybe i shouldn't run it through java -jar?
If I understand correctly what you'd like to achieve, the problem is to avoid creating a fat jar with all Maven dependencies at each Docker build (to alleviate the size of the Docker layers to be pushed after a rebuild).
If yes, you may be interested in the Spring Boot Thin Launcher, which is also applicable for non-Spring-Boot projects. Some comprehensive documentation is available in the README.md of the corresponding GitHub repo:
https://github.com/dsyer/spring-boot-thin-launcher#readme
To sum up, it should suffice to add the following plugin declaration in your pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<!--<version>${spring-boot.version}</version>-->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot.experimental</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-thin-layout</artifactId>
<version>1.0.19.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Ideally, this solution should be combined with a standard Dockerfile setup to benefit from Docker's cache (see below for a typical example).
Leverage Docker's cache mechanism for a Java/Maven project
The archetype of a Dockerfile that avoids re-downloading all Maven dependencies at each build if only source code files (src/*) have been touched is given in the following reference:
https://whitfin.io/speeding-up-maven-docker-builds/
To be more precise, the proposed Dockerfile is as follows:
# our base build image
FROM maven:3.5-jdk-8 as maven
WORKDIR /app
# copy the Project Object Model file
COPY ./pom.xml ./pom.xml
# fetch all dependencies
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -B
# copy your other files
COPY ./src ./src
# build for release
# NOTE: my-project-* should be replaced with the proper prefix
RUN mvn package && cp target/my-project-*.jar app.jar
# smaller, final base image
FROM openjdk:8u171-jre-alpine
# OPTIONAL: copy dependencies so the thin jar won't need to re-download them
# COPY --from=maven /root/.m2 /root/.m2
# set deployment directory
WORKDIR /app
# copy over the built artifact from the maven image
COPY --from=maven /app/app.jar ./app.jar
# set the startup command to run your binary
CMD ["java", "-jar", "/app/app.jar"]
Note that it relies on the so-called multi-stage build feature of Docker (presence of two FROM directives), implying the final image will be much smaller than the maven base image itself.
(If you are not interested in that feature during the development phase, you can remove the lines FROM openjdk:8u171-jre-alpine and COPY --from=maven /app/app.jar ./app.jar.)
In this approach, the Maven dependencies are fetched with RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -B before the line COPY ./src ./src (to benefit from Docker's cache).
Note however that the dependency:go-offline standard goal is not "perfect" as a few dynamic dependencies/plugins may still trigger some re-downloading at the mvn package step.
If this is an issue for you (e.g. if at some point you'd really want to work offline), you could take at look at that other SO answer that suggests using a dedicated plugin that provides the de.qaware.maven:go-offline-maven-plugin:resolve-dependencies goal.
In general Dockerfile container build, works in layers and each time you build these layers are available in catch and is used if there are no changes.
Ideally it should have worked same way.
Maven generally looks for dependencies by default in .m2 folder located in Home dir of User in Ubuntu /home/username/
If dependent jars are not available then it downloads those jars to .m2 and uses it.
Now you can zip and copy this .m2 folder after 1 successful build and move it inside Docker Container User's Home directory.
Do this before you run build command
Note: You might need to replace existing .m2 folder in docker
So your Docker file would be something like this
FROM maven:3.6.0-jdk-8-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY .m2.zip /home/testuser/
ADD pom.xml /app
RUN mvn verify clean --fail-never
COPY ./src /app/src
RUN mvn package
...
The documentation of the official Maven Docker images also points out different ways to achieve better caching of dependencies.
Basically, they recommend to either mount the local maven repository as a volume and use it across Docker images or use a special local repository (/usr/share/maven/ref/) the contents of which will be copied on container startup.
I want to setup a CI pipeline in GitLab for my Java project managed with Maven.
This is my gitlab-ci.yml
image: maven:3-jdk-9
variables:
MAVEN_CLI_OPTS: "--batch-mode"
stages:
- build
compile:
stage: build
script:
- mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS compile
I always get the following exception:
I tried many things like changing versions of the plugins, various docker images, including a settings.xml and local repository in the project itself, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE:
Using the latest docker image everything works.
It seems like the CI server has no connection to the internet. Check this using the curl command in your .gitlab-ci.ymlfile.
But I'm pretty sure you guys at daimler have a local mirror, something like Artifactory.
In that case you have to use a settings.xml file.
Here is the official tutorial of Gitlab
I'm trying to use docker to automate maven builds. The project I want to build takes nearly 20 minutes to download all the dependencies, so I tried to build a docker image that would cache these dependencies, but it doesn't seem to save it. My Dockerfile is
FROM maven:alpine
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
ADD pom.xml /usr/src/app
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline
The image builds, and it does download everything. However, the resulting image is the same size as the base maven:alpine image, so it doesn't seem to have cached the dependencies in the image. When I try to use the image to mvn compile it goes through the full 20 minutes of redownloading everything.
Is it possible to build a maven image that caches my dependencies so they don't have to download everytime I use the image to perform a build?
I'm running the following commands:
docker build -t my-maven .
docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$PWD":/usr/src/mymaven -w /usr/src/mymaven my-maven mvn compile
My understanding is that whatever RUN does during the docker build process becomes part of the resulting image.
Usually, there's no change in pom.xml file but just some other source code changes when you're attempting to start docker image build. In such circumstance you can do this:
FYI:
FROM maven:3-jdk-8
ENV HOME=/home/usr/app
RUN mkdir -p $HOME
WORKDIR $HOME
# 1. add pom.xml only here
ADD pom.xml $HOME
# 2. start downloading dependencies
RUN ["/usr/local/bin/mvn-entrypoint.sh", "mvn", "verify", "clean", "--fail-never"]
# 3. add all source code and start compiling
ADD . $HOME
RUN ["mvn", "package"]
EXPOSE 8005
CMD ["java", "-jar", "./target/dist.jar"]
So the key is:
add pom.xml file.
then mvn verify --fail-never it, it will download maven dependencies.
add all your source file then, and start your compilation(mvn package).
When there are changes in your pom.xml file or you are running this script for the first time, docker will do 1 -> 2 -> 3. When there are no changes in pom.xml file, docker will skip step 1、2 and do 3 directly.
This simple trick can be used in many other package management circumstances(gradle、yarn、npm、pip).
Edit:
You should also consider using mvn dependency:resolve or mvn dependency:go-offline accordingly as other comments & answers suggest.
Using BuildKit
From Docker v18.03 onwards you can use BuildKit instead of volumes that were mentioned in the other answers. It allows mounting caches that can persist between builds and you can avoid downloading contents of the corresponding .m2/repository every time.
Assuming that the Dockerfile is in the root of your project:
# syntax = docker/dockerfile:1.0-experimental
FROM maven:3.6.0-jdk-11-slim AS build
COPY . /home/build
RUN mkdir /home/.m2
WORKDIR /home/.m2
USER root
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.m2 mvn -f /home/build/pom.xml clean compile
target=/root/.m2 mounts cache to the specified place in maven image Dockerfile docs.
For building you can run the following command:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --rm --no-cache .
More info on BuildKit can be found here.
It turns out the image I'm using as a base has a parent image which defines
VOLUME "$USER_HOME_DIR/.m2"
see: https://github.com/carlossg/docker-maven/blob/322d0dff5d0531ccaf47bf49338cb3e294fd66c8/jdk-8/Dockerfile
The result is that during the build, all the files are written to $USER_HOME_DIR/.m2, but because it is expected to be a volume, none of those files are persisted with the container image.
Currently in Docker there isn't any way to unregister that volume definition, so it would be necessary to build a separate maven image, rather than use the official maven image.
I don't think the other answers here are optimal. For example, the mvn verify answer executes the following phases, and does a lot more than just resolving dependencies:
validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
compile - compile the source code of the project
test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed
package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
verify - run any checks on results of integration tests to ensure quality criteria are met
All of these phases and their associated goals don't need to be ran if you only want to resolve dependencies.
If you only want to resolve dependencies, you can use the dependency:go-offline goal:
FROM maven:3-jdk-12
WORKDIR /tmp/example/
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline
COPY src/ src/
RUN mvn package
There are two ways to cache maven dependencies:
Execute "mvn verify" as part of a container execution, NOT build, and make sure you mount .m2 from a volume.
This is efficient but it does not play well with cloud build and multiple build slaves
Use a "dependencies cache container", and update it periodically. Here is how:
a. Create a Dockerfile that copies the pom and build offline dependencies:
FROM maven:3.5.3-jdk-8-alpine
WORKDIR /build
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline
b. Build it periodically (e.g. nightly) as "Deps:latest"
c. Create another Dockerfile to actually build the system per commit (preferably use multi-stage) - and make sure it is FROM Deps.
Using this system you will have fast, reconstruct-able builds with a mostly good-enough cache.
#Kim is closest, but it's not quite there yet. I don't think adding --fail-never is correct, even through it get's the job done.
The verify command causes a lot of plugins to execute which is a problem (for me) - I don't think they should be executing when all I want is to install dependencies! I also have a multi-module build and a javascript sub-build so this further complicates the setup.
But running only verify is not enough, because if you run install in the following commands, there will be more plugins used - which means more dependencies to download - maven refuses to download them otherwise. Relevant read: Maven: Introduction to the Build Lifecycle
You basically have to find what properties disable each plugin and add them one-by-one, so they don't break your build.
WORKDIR /srv
# cache Maven dependencies
ADD cli/pom.xml /srv/cli/
ADD core/pom.xml /srv/core/
ADD parent/pom.xml /srv/parent/
ADD rest-api/pom.xml /srv/rest-api/
ADD web-admin/pom.xml /srv/web-admin/
ADD pom.xml /srv/
RUN mvn -B clean install -DskipTests -Dcheckstyle.skip -Dasciidoctor.skip -Djacoco.skip -Dmaven.gitcommitid.skip -Dspring-boot.repackage.skip -Dmaven.exec.skip=true -Dmaven.install.skip -Dmaven.resources.skip
# cache YARN dependencies
ADD ./web-admin/package.json ./web-admin/yarn.lock /srv/web-admin/
RUN yarn --non-interactive --frozen-lockfile --no-progress --cwd /srv/web-admin install
# build the project
ADD . /srv
RUN mvn -B clean install
but some plugins are not that easily skipped - I'm not a maven expert (so I don't know why it ignores the cli option - it might be a bug), but the following works as expected for org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin
<project>
<properties>
<maven.exec.skip>false</maven.exec.skip>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

please notice the explicit <skip>${maven.exec.skip}</skip> - other plugins pick this up from the cli params but not this one (neither -Dmaven.exec.skip=true nor -Dexec.skip=true work by itself)
Hope this helps
Similar with #Kim answer but I use dependency:resolve mvn command. So here's my complete Dockerfile:
FROM maven:3.5.0-jdk-8-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# First copy only the pom file. This is the file with less change
COPY ./pom.xml .
# Download the package and make it cached in docker image
RUN mvn -B -f ./pom.xml -s /usr/share/maven/ref/settings-docker.xml dependency:resolve
# Copy the actual code
COPY ./ .
# Then build the code
RUN mvn -B -f ./pom.xml -s /usr/share/maven/ref/settings-docker.xml package
# The rest is same as usual
EXPOSE 8888
CMD ["java", "-jar", "./target/YOUR-APP.jar"]
After a few days of struggling, I managed to do this caching later using intermediate contrainer, and I'd like to summarize my findings here as this topic is so useful and being frequently shown in Google search frontpage:
Kim's answer is only working to a certain condition: pom.xml cannot be changed, plus Maven do a regular update daily basis by default
mvn dependency:go-offline -B --fail-never has a similar drawback, so if you need to pull fresh code from repo, high chances are Maven will trigger a full checkout every time
Mount volume is not working as well because we need to resolve the dependencies during image being built
Finally, I have a workable solution combined(May be not working to others):
Build an image to resolve all the dependencies first(Not intermediate image)
Create another Dockerfile with intermediate image, sample dockerfiles like this:
#docker build -t dependencies .
From ubuntu
COPY pom.xml pom.xml
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -B --fail-never
From dependencies as intermediate
From tomcat
RUN git pull repo.git (whatsoever)
RUN mvn package
The idea is to keep all the dependencies in a different image that Maven can use immediately
It could be other scenarios I haven't encountered yet, but this solution relief me a bit from download 3GB rubbish every time
I cannot imagine why Java became such a fat whale in today's lean world
I had to deal with the same issue.
Unfortunately, as just said by another contributor, dependency:go-offline and the other goals, don't fully solve the problem: many dependencies are not downloaded.
I found a working solution as follow.
# Cache dependencies
ADD settings.xml .
ADD pom.xml .
RUN mvn -B -s settings.xml -Ddocker.build.skip=true package test
# Build artifact
ADD src .
RUN mvn -B -s settings.xml -DskipTests package
The trick is to do a full build without sources, which produces a full dependency scan.
In order to avoid errors on some plugins (for example: OpenAPI maven generator plugin or Spring Boot maven plugin) I had to skip its goals, but letting it to download all the dependencies by adding for each one a configuration settings like follow:
<configuration>
<skip>${docker.build.skip}</skip>
</configuration>
Regards.
I think the general game plan presented among the other answers is the right idea:
Copy pom.xml
Get dependencies
Copy source
Build
However, exactly how you do step #2 is the real key. For me, using the same command I used for building to fetch dependencies was the right solution:
FROM java/java:latest
# Work dir
WORKDIR /app
RUN mkdir -p .
# Copy pom and get dependencies
COPY pom.xml pom.xml
RUN mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=./.m2 install assembly:single
# Copy and build source
COPY . .
RUN mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=./.m2 install assembly:single
Any other command used to fetch dependencies resulted in many things needing to be download during the build step. It makes sense the running the exact command you plan on running will you get you the closest to everything you need to actually run that command.
I had this issue just a litle while ago. The are many solutions on the web, but the one that worked for me is simply mount a volume for the maven modules directory:
mkdir /opt/myvolumes/m2
then in the Dockerfile:
...
VOLUME /opt/myvolumes/m2:/root/.m2
...
There are better solutions, but not as straightforward.
This blog post goes the extra mile in helping you to cache everything:
https://keyholesoftware.com/2015/01/05/caching-for-maven-docker-builds/
A local Nexus 3 Image running in Docker and acting as a local Proxy is an acceptable solution:
The idea is similar to Dockerize an apt-cacher-ng service apt-cacher-ng
here you can find a comprehensive step by step. github repo
Its really fast.
Another Solution would be using a repository manger such as Sonar Nexus or Artifactory. You can set a maven proxy inside the registry then use the registry as your source of maven repositories.
Here my working solution.
The tricks are:
use docker multi-stage build
don't copy the project source in the image created in the first stage, but only pom (or poms in case your project is multi-module)
Here my solution for a multi-module project using openjdk11
## stage 1
FROM adoptopenjdk/maven-openjdk11 as dependencies
ENV HOME=/usr/maven
ENV MVN_REPO=/usr/maven/.m3/repository
RUN mkdir -p $HOME
RUN mkdir -p $MVN_REPO
WORKDIR $HOME
## copy all pom files of the modules tree with the same directory tree of the project
#reactor
ADD pom.xml $HOME
## api module
RUN mkdir -p $HOME/api
ADD api/pom.xml $HOME/api
## application module
RUN mkdir -p $HOME/application
ADD application/pom.xml $HOME/application
## domain module
RUN mkdir -p $HOME/domain
ADD domain/pom.xml $HOME/domain
## service module
RUN mkdir -p $HOME/service
ADD service/pom.xml $HOME/service
## download all dependencies in this docker image. The goal "test" is needed to avoid download of dependencies with <scope>test</scope> in the second stage
RUN mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$MVN_REPO dependency:go-offline test
## stage 2
FROM adoptopenjdk/maven-openjdk11 as executable
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app
ENV MVN_REPO=/usr/maven/.m3/repository
ENV APP_MVN_REPO=$MVN_REPO
RUN mkdir -p $APP_HOME
RUN mkdir -p $APP_MVN_REPO
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
ADD . $APP_HOME
## copy the dependecies tree from "stage 1" dependencies image to this image
COPY --from=dependencies $MVN_REPO $APP_MVN_REPO
## package the application, skipping test
RUN mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$APP_MVN_REPO package -DskipTests
## set ENV values
ENV NAME=VALUE
## copy the jar in the WORKDIR folder
RUN cp $APP_HOME/application/target/*.jar $APP_HOME/my-final-jar-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar","/usr/app/my-final-jar-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" ,"--spring.profiles.active=docker"]
This one did the trick very well for me:
edit config.toml
[runner.docker]
...
volumes = ["/cache","m2:/root/.m2"]
...
it will create "m2" volume that will persists across builds and you guys knows the rest :)
If the dependencies are downloaded after the container is already up, then you need to commit the changes on this container and create a new image with the downloaded artifacts.
