How to run a script from a pom.xml file?
How to run a perl or batch file at the beginning of the build?
Is there is a command or a plugin I can use to run an external process
then come back to the build when this process is complete?
I'm using:
Maven version: 2.0.7
Java version: 1.6.0_02-ea
OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86"
Thanks,
Sameh

Look for the exec plugin.

Brian,
Thanks again, using the -N worked.

Are you running this from the command line? If so, then the inherited
might not apply...that's usually for inheriting the bound config. You
will want to add -N to your command line to tell maven not to recurse.

I specified the inherited element in different places in the plugin body
in the parent pom.xml, but no matter where I set it, it is still running
more than once! It is running for all the children modules?
Should not setting the inherited element to false suppress Maven from
passing this execution onto its children?

To have it run just once for the parent, use:
<inherited>false</inherited>
* http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.8/maven-model/maven.html
(You should also add an <id> for the execution.)

Thanks Wayne.
I tried the exe plugin and it did what I was looking for, but I noticed
it repeated the execution few times and not just one time as needed!
I've a Maven project that consists of a number of Maven modules, and I
put the following code in the <build> block of the Parent pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<executable>Process_Files.cmd</executable>
</configuration>
</plugin>
To execute the above code, I run the following command from a DOS
window:
mvn exec:exec -Dexec.executable="Process_Files.cmd"
So, it run this file a number of times equal the number of the Maven
modules specified in the parent pom.xml file.
Is there is a way where I can restrict the execution of this exe to just
one time?
Thanks,
Sameh

Alternatively, if you're on Windows, you can add a file
mavenrc_pre.bat and mavenrc_post.bat to your user home directory and
Maven will run them before/after running the Maven build process.
But this runs for all builds (not just a specific project) and
requires that you distribute these batch/shell script files to every
developer and every server where you are executing Maven, so it is far
from ideal.
Yet another option is to modify the mvn.bat or mvn files themselves.
This also requires you to distribute the modified shell script.
The exec plugin, as previously mentioned, is a good option as well.
Assuming the binaries are the same on all your platforms (or you can
tweak with profiles) and you figure out which phase you want to invoke
it in, it should work.
What you choose really depends on what you're trying to do and why.
More details about your specific use case might produce better
comments.
