Usage
Compiling Your Java Sources
The goals for the Compiler Plugin are bound to their respective phases in the build lifecycle. So to compile your sources, you need only to tell maven until which lifecycle to execute. The following will compile your sources:
mvn compile
To compile your test sources, you'll do:
mvn test-compile
The above command will execute both compiler:compile
and compiler:testCompile
since the compile
phase happens a few phases before the test-compile
phase.
Configuring Your Compiler Plugin
Since the Compiler Plugin executes automatically during their phases, you don't have to put executions
unlike many other plugins. However, you should specify the version of the Compiler Plugin.
<project> ... <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.13.0</version> <configuration> <!-- put your configurations here --> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> ... </project>
Note: Maven 3.0 will issue warnings if you do not specify the version of a plugin.
