Download specific jars with dependency using maven plugin [duplicate]

I have a maven project which I have say spring framework libraries as dependencies, I want to copy spring framework dependencies with there transitive dependencies to a location specified.
I have gone through maven dependency plugin guides at apache, I have several options where non of them will solve the complete problem.
copy dependencies option
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This will copy all the dependencies and there transitives to a given location, I want only spring dependencies and there transitives.
copying specific artifacts
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>3.2.4.RELEASE</version>
<type>jar</type>
<overWrite>false</overWrite> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>optional-new-name.jar</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/wars</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This is not coping the transitive dependencies.
Any solution which solve my both problems.

This is possible with the assembly plugin.
Plugin configuration:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<finalName>plugins</finalName> <!--folder name in target directory-->
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>some-id</id> <!-- must match assembly id in assembly.xml-->
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase> <!-- pic -->
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
assembly.xml
<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/ASSEMBLY/2.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/ASSEMBLY/2.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.0.0.xsd">
<id>some-id</id>
<formats>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<includes>
<include>
org.springframework:spring-web
</include>
</includes>
<useTransitiveDependencies>true</useTransitiveDependencies>
<useTransitiveFiltering>true</useTransitiveFiltering>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
The important bits are <useTransitiveDependencies>true</useTransitiveDependencies> and <useTransitiveFiltering>true</useTransitiveFiltering>, which cause the include to be applied to project dependencies, but not to transitive dependencies, resulting in spring-web artifact and it's dependencies to be copied to the directory.

You can use the maven assembly plugin for this.
Check it out and specifically the dependency set:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html#class_dependencySet
You can provide an output directory and you can specify which dependencies to put in there
There is also an option: useTransitiveDependencies. Set this to true to get the behaviour you want.

Here's an option:
create module (producer) to collect dependencies and publish them as a zip.
in consumer user depencency:unpack to unpack that zip
It is cumbersome and the exclusions still need some cherry picking, but much less and it could be run in parallel threads.

Maven dependency plugin - exclude directories when unpackaging jar file

I am trying to un-package a jar file using the maven dependency plugin. But I only want one file inside the jar file and want to exclude the META-INF directory that's inside the jar. How would I do this?
This is what I have so far:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>...</artifactId>
<version>...</version>
<type>jar</type>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/</outputDirectory>
<excludes>META-INF</excludes>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<excludes>META-INF</excludes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Found the solution.
<artifactItem>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>...</artifactId>
<version>...</version>
<type>jar</type>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/</outputDirectory>
<excludes>META-INF/</excludes>
</artifactItem>
Just add a forward slash: / after the directory name.

Maven can't compile project even when I can debug it

I transferred a big java project to maven and replaced all the libraries used with maven and I can run debug or start just fine meaning that it works normally but for some reason whenever I try to run maven test or install or anything that tries to compile it using maven it fails.
This is my pom file (I use nexus for third party jars):

I have tried a lot of plugins and tried deleting the .m2 repository but nothing seems to help.
All the errors I get are
[ERROR] /C:/Users/worx-pc-01/git/PbClient/pbclient2/src/pb/ui/panels/admin/workorders/configuration/namingConvention/GenericNamingConventionTableModel.java:[10,24] package com.pb.hibernate does not exist
or
[ERROR] /C:/Users/worx-pc-01/git/PbClient/pbclient2/src/pb/ui/panels/admin/workorders/configuration/namingConvention/GenericNamingConventionTableModel.java:[192,36] cannot find symbol
symbol: class PbPwoNamingConfiguration
location: class pb.ui.panels.admin.workorders.configuration.namingConvention.GenericNamingConventionTableModel
The package does exist and I don't understand why this won't work like its supposed to.
Am I doing something wrong since I just started using maven.

The error messages suggest to me that either the package com.pb.hibernate doesn't exist in your project (maybe it has been renamed and your IDE didn't update every use properly) or it exists in an external dependency which your IDE has somehow got in its path when running/debugging, but the dependency isn't defined correctly in your pom, and so running mvn clean install fails

In maven, add a folder as a source folder but dont include it in source jar

I have a use case where I need to include a folder target/schemas as a source folder using maven-buildHelper plugin. I am generating a war for this project. When the source jar get created, the content of target/schemas also exists in that. I dont want add the content of target/schemas into my source jar. How can it be achieved ?

I have a web project identity which depends on two jar authentication and authorization. In project identity, I am generating xsd using jaxb2-maven-plugin for authentication, authorization and identity sources. As the plugin jaxb2-maven-plugin, works only on sources exists in the maven source path, I am downloading sources for authentication and authorization in a folder target/schema, add this folder target/schema as a maven source folder and then running jaxb2-maven-plugin to generate xsd. Now, when I build source jar for identity, it also includes sources for authentication and authorization which I dont want.

Maven Source plugin has option for excluding selected files from created source JAR.
exclude
List of files to exclude. Specified as fileset patterns which are relative to the input directory whose contents is being packaged into the JAR.

Deploy additional jar file with Maven?

I have an artifact which is being built and deployed in a particular way (not as a jar file). In the course of deployment, a war file is built.
How can I configure the pom so that the artifact is also deployed as a jar file, to a different location?

Maven deploy means deploy artifact to a Maven Repository, not an application server.
Configure additional JAR artifact like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-a-jar</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Attach this new artifact to your project:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</file>
<!-- <file>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.jar</file> - if finalName is defined -->
<type>jar</type>
</artifact>
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

This blog post and its comments have the answer.
These three plugin configurations will allow you to build/install/deploy a jar version alongside the war.

The "maven way" is to split out src/main/java into a separate module, and have the war file depend on that.
If you're absolutely resistant to that approach, you may be able to use a profile to alter the contents of the packaging element. I'm not sure if that's possible though.

Separating them is the right way to go. Forcing maven to produce a war and a jar in the same module is possible but will cause you problems down the road.

You should add the corresponding dependency of the artifact in the dependencies of the pom file.
Ex:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

One way to solve this is to have the module build a jar and then use the assembly plugin to build a war file with the jar in WEB-INF/lib of that war. I would strongly recommend against this. You'd be better off having a jar project and a war project with a parent project building both modules.
