How to build a jar using Maven?

I want to build my project with Maven. How do I do that?

• Maven is instal开发者_Go百科led,

• the project is called Sertsu1

• it contains a pom.xml-file

What must be entered in the command line to start building?

If your project is organized as Maven expects, e.g. your source code is in the src\main\java directory you can run

mvn package

to just build your jar

mvn install

to install it in your local Maven repository

mvn clean

to remove a previous build

Beware that you won't go very far with Maven without reading about it. You can start with this book.

In order to create an artifact (jar-file) you need to invoke

mvn package

This is very basic and you should take your time to read the suggested manuals before using maven.

Navigate to the folder that contains the pom.xml and enter

mvn package

(for a quick result)

Your machine needs to be connected to the internet as maven will download a lot of files from public repositories.
