3.12 Maven Build Profiles

Build profiles are majorly of three types.

  • A Build profile is a set of configuration values, which can be used to set or override default values of Maven build.
  • Using a build profile, you can customize build for different environments such as Production v/s Development environments.
  • Profiles are specified in pom.xml file using its activeProfiles/profiles elements and are triggered in variety of ways.
  • Profiles modify the POM at build time, and are used to give parameters different target environments (for example, the path of the database server in the development, testing, and production environments).

Types of Build profiles :

  • Per Project : Defined in the project POM file, pom.xml
  • Per User : Defined in Maven settings xml file (%USER_HOME%/.m2/settings.xml)
  • Global : Defined in Maven global settings xml file (%M2_HOME%/conf/settings.xml)

Per Project :

Copy Code
<project xmlns = "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation = "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
   http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

         <build>
            <plugins>
               <plugin>
                  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
                  <version>1.1</version>

                        <goals>
                           <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                           <tasks>
                              <echo>Using env.test.properties</echo>
                              <copy file="src/main/resources/env.test.properties"
                                 tofile="${project.build.outputDirectory}/env.properties"/>
                           </tasks>
                        </configuration>
                     </execution>
                  </executions>
               </plugin>
            </plugins>
         </build>
      </profile>
   </profiles>
</project>

Running the build using pom.xml profile

Copy Code
C:\MVN\project>mvn test -Ptest

Per User :

–> Open Maven settings.xml file available in %USER_HOME%/.m2 directory where %USER_HOME% represents the user home directory. If settings.xml file is not there, then create a new one.

Copy Code
<settings xmlns = "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
