in this post we will pass the selected env value to the java file.  when you start the project as follows:

-Denv=asseco-test

pom.xml

<profiles>
 		<profile> 
 			<id>asseco-test</id> 
 			<activation> 
 				<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> 
 				<property> 
 					<name>asseco-env</name> 
 					<value>asseco-test</value> 
 				</property> 
 			</activation> 
 			<properties> 
 				<profile-id>asseco-test</profile-id> 
 			</properties> 
 		</profile> 
 		<profile> 
 			<id>asseco-prod</id> 
 			<activation> 
 				<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> 
 				<property> 
 					<name>asseco-env</name> 
 					<value>asseco-prod</value> 
 				</property> 
 			</activation> 
 			<properties> 
 				<profile-id>asseco-prod</profile-id> 
 			</properties> 
 		</profile>
</profiles>

java file

private Properties props = new Properties();
String selectedPaymentProfile = System.getProperty("env");
		final String fileName = selectedPaymentProfile.concat(".properties");
		try {
			props.load(new InputStreamReader(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(paymentProperties)));
			
			URI = props.getProperty("URI");
			
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			logger.error("Exception in providerDetails: " + e);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			logger.error("Exception in providerDetails: " + e);
		}

The configuration is below when you issue this command “mvn clean package assembly:single” then you will get a jar file containing all the sources and if  you check the me MANIFEST.MF file and you will see the line “Main-Class: com.tugrulaslan.App” the value we set below in the pom.xml

In my project at work, the front end java framework ZKoss I use at work, pulls servlet api jar on its own since its dependency is required for the jar, it was mismatching one i was using. So I had to exclude the jar from zkoss dependency

the below is the ZK’s required jar and I am excluding servlet-api from the dependency and pulling the servlet-api upon my request.

<!-- ZK Spring dependencies servlet-api being excluded-->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.zkoss.zk</groupId>
			<artifactId>zkspring-core</artifactId>
			<version>${zk-spring.version}</version>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
					<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
			</exclusions>
		</dependency>

<!--This is the one I am pulling from maven's repo -->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
			<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
			<version>${servlet-api.version}</version>
		</dependency>

At work I faced a situation that I had to add external jar libraries into my maven project, since most of required Java packages offered by Maven the automation, I have come across with the situation that Business objects external jars needed to be imported into the project. So I have done a small research regarding the issue, here is the outcome. First of all keep all he required in an easy location. I put the files in a folder called “libs” located right underneath C root drive the command below will do the magic

C:\workspace\CMC_REPORTING>mvn install:install-file -Dfile={FILELOCATION} -DgroupId={GROUP/DOMAINNAME} -DartifactId={FILENAME} -Dversion={VERSION} -Dpackagi
ng=jar

This command is going to add the required file to your local maven repo and you will get to use it, sample output after you carry out this command is:

After the screen the necessary .jar file has been successfully imported into our maven local repo. There is one point left needs to be done, adding the imported jar in our pom.xml file. As usual add the line to your pom.xml

<dependency>
		<groupId>com.sap</groupId>
		<artifactId>fedmaster</artifactId>
		<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

This is all now deploy your project to your application server and give it a shot

• 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.
• integration-test – process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run
• verify – run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
• install – install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
• deploy – done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

Hi folk

In this tutorial I will show you how you can create a dynamic web project using maven in command line. First of all if you would like to create a web app rapidly then issue the command below, or if you would like to create and browse different type of projects remove the project type and other specifications in the below given command. On Linux, Windows or Mac does not matter launch your terminal/command line app to create our project:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=PROJECTPACKINGNAMEGOESHERE -DartifactId=PROJECTNAMEGOESHERE -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

As soon as you launch this code the outcome should look like this:

our project is ready and lets convert our project into an Eclipse or IntelliJ project issue the command below but first of all navigate to the project folder first otherwise you will have the errors maven unable to locate the pom.xml file:

Eclipse Integration

mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

IntelliJ Integration

mvn idea:idea -Dwtpversion=2.0

After the command our project will look and converted to that IDE structure, the below the folder structure since I am an IntelliJ fan the here is my folder output:
