running mvn package -e didn't give any noticeably different output and mvn package -X didn't give me anything I could understand. How would I go about fixing it? Looking in the pom.xml file, the only release related thing I could see was the <release>10<\release> but idk what to change that to if that is the problem. I'm assuming I have to change things in the file to fit what versions of java and maven I have but I'm pretty new to the both of them and don't really know what I'm looking for.

How to give input to a maven dependency plugin by using another plugin

I use maven-dependency-plugin to copy jar files of artifactItems, by giving artifactItem details at pom.xml as shown below
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.2</version>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>junit.jar</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
can i use a plugin inside <configuration> </configuration> tag to give <artifactItems></artifactItems> dynamically,instead of giving it manually.

Can I exclude maven plugin folders from the target folder?

I'm using some plugins to build my maven project.
During the "install" phase, maven create plugin directories inside my target folder, but I don't need them.
There's an option to avoid the creation of this directories that allows me to continue to use those plugins?
In my case are 'maven-archiver' and 'surefire' (that is also empty after the building).

those directories (surefire & maven-archiver) gets generated by surefire and archiver plugin respectively
when you do mvn clean install it goes through following phases
validate, clean, compile, test, package, install
these two plugin are by default tied to
phases surefire - > test
and
archiver -> package
so those plugins gets executed and that generates these directories, if you don't want their execution you can skip sure-fire's execution that will stop running any test cases by configuring your pom.xml following way
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
<configuration>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
to stop export of test result you can either set it to output to some other directory by setting reportsDirectory property or you can stop generating xml reports using disableXmlReports property

Mention exclude directories inside pom.xml file
Inside exclude tags mention your files which you dont want.

My unit test
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class TearDownTestCaseTest {
#Test
public void assertTrue() {
Assert.assertTrue(true);
}
}
Funny thing is that if I configure this test to run as JUnit 3 test case, it works, but not JUnit 4.x or Testng.

Classpath on JavaFX using javafxpackager

I'm new to JavaFX and I'm trying to build my first application, using Maven. Well, since I don't really like to mix ant with maven, I got an alternative solution, using exec-maven-plugin and javafxpackager, found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/enterprisefxpt3-1735081.html
Problem is, I don't like the way it unpacks all my dependencies inside the jar, so I modified it a "little", resulting on this:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Well, I think it really looks good, more than expected! Well, all but one "little" problem: I don't have the classpath entry on the Manifest.MF, so any dependencies added aren't found on runtime, and I have no clue how to add it. Any ideas?
Thanks all for the help!
EDIT: Maybe this can help, javafxpackager has an argument classpath that I can pass a list of dependencies. So what I need is the classpath, maybe as a String, just to add it to javafxpackager.

If you look at the exec-maven-plugin POM configuration you see that you can add a <classpath/> tag. I haven't tried it but it should do it.
<configuration>
<executable>${java.home}/../bin/javafxpackager</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>-createjar</argument>
<argument>-appclass</argument>
<argument>test.HelloWorldApp</argument>
<argument>-srcdir</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/classes</argument>
<argument>-outdir</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/dist</argument>
<argument>-outfile</argument>
<argument>${project.name}.jar</argument>
<argument>-classpath</argument>
<!-- automatically creates the classpath using all project dependencies,
also adding the project build directory -->
<classpath/>
</arguments>
</configuration>

check out this pom.xml for a personal javafx application
it does not use javafxpackager / javapackager, but is a perfect runnable jar. jar will be under target/${project.name}-${version}-jar-with-dependencies.jar
