I tried to create a new project but it seems that the problem comes from netbeans configuration .
Could you help me please ?
Thank you in advance !

It seems as if the maven exec plugin is not well configured.
Have a look at the documentation: The plugin offers two goals exec and java
I am using the plugin with exec:java (run in same jvm) and you need to configure the MainClass like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<mainClass>your.context.MainClass</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
On the other case (exec:exec) you should specify the executable as described in the specification / sample

How can I exclude folders from the WAR?

I tried to follow Maven packagingExcludes jars regex and this is how my pom.xml file looks. The full path to the node_modules is project-directory/src/main/webapp/node_modules

I added the following to exclude the nodes_modules folder but I still see that my build includes it and generating it, takes several minutes (Total time: 03:16 min)
<packagingExcludes>
%regex[node_modules]
</packagingExcludes>
How do I exclude the node_modules from my war file?

you're using regex version of packagingExcludes which is not the use case of yours. Try to specify folder path specified here as follows
<packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/node_modules/**</packagingExcludes> <!--or correct path to your folder-->

Could you please help me to solve this problem?

Maven differentiates between resources, and test resources. Maybe you are putting the xml file, which is being marshalled, somewhere underneath the src/main/resources folder?
If thats the case, try copying the xml file to src/test/resources

Why my maven module could not find another module in the project? [duplicate]

I can make mvn clean install on the moduleA with no problems. But I cannot make it in the second module. When I try to make mvn install on sms-office-ui maven give me error:
Failed to execute goal on project sms-office-ui: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.smsoffice:sms-office-ui:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at com.smsoffice:sms-office-core:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.smsoffice:sms-office-core:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.smsoffice:sms-office:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]
My question is how to locate the sms-office-core in order show maven where is its location?

You should not compile the module itself. You need to issue the mvn commands on the root. Then, you can specify that you would like to build a single module, with the --pl option. Also, you need the --am to build the dependent modules. So, the command becomes:
mvn install -pl sms-office-ui -am
By the way --pl is the shorthand for --projects and --am for --also-make.

It looks like it's having trouble resolving the parent pom. Ensure that you're running mvn clean install from the parent directory so that it installs the parent pom before it tries to build the child.

How to make maven site build the correct links to the project modules

I have a maven multimodule project when I try to build the site, it creates the links in the main page with the module name, but the href points to http://maven.apache.com
How do I make either mvn site-deploy or mvn site:site site:deploy construct the right links? because the folder with the sub-site gets created the only issues is it is not linked.
Its driving me insane.

Relative links are calculated based on the value of the <url> element in the POM. Here, you just get the link that you specified in the <url> element of the POM of child-A. Remove this element and it will work (you should specify the proper URL in the parent actually).
