How to execute maven plugin execution directly from command line?

maven maven-2

I have a plugin (antrun) with an execution configured which has an id and is not bound to any phase. Can I execute this execution directly from the command line?

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>my-execution</id>
      ...
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

An run it with something like:

mvn my-execution

or at least

mvn magicplugin:execute -DexecutionId=my-execution

Does this answer your question? Run a single Maven plugin execution?

This functionality has been implemented as MNG-5768, and is available in Maven 3.3.1.

The change will:

extend direct plugin invocation syntax to allow optional @execution-id parameter, e.g., org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-remote-resources-plugin:1.0:process@executionId.

So, in your case:

mvn antrun:run

uses the default-cli execution ID, and:

mvn antrun:run@my-execution

uses the execution configured in your pom.

From the artifact ID "maven-antrun-plugin" how do we know that it is just "antrun" that should be used in mvn antrun:run?

@mks-d see pluginGroups for why org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin can be referred to as antrun.

@Joe thanks, on top of plugin groups there is also the Plugin Prefix Resolution mechanism apparently...

The most direct means of executing your maven plugin is to specify the plugin goal directly on the command line.

mvn groupId:artifactId:version:goal

More information at: Development guide for Maven plugins

But how can I run exactly "default-cli" execution? If there are several executions in the plugin definition.

I was fighting to get a Spring Boot Jasypt utility plugin to run, and for whatever reason, the only way I could get it to get recognized by Maven was by following the advice above. Just specifying the goal directly (mvn jasypt:encrypt ...) wasn't enough. Thanks @dimitri-dewaele.

The question asked for running a specific execution; your answer will run all executions configured for a goal.

How do you add configuration ?

What you're looking for is captured in Default+Plugin+Execution+IDs but to my knowledge currently not supported. However, according to the comments of MNG-3401 (read them until the end):

for mojos invoked directly from the command line, you can supply configuration from the POM using the executionId: 'default-cli' like this: maven-assembly-plugin default-cli jar-with-dependencies project This should work in Maven 2.2.0 and 3.x.

Maybe this will be enough for you.

that was not exactly the question event if your answer is correct ;).
