Copy runnable jar after install

Question

I need to copying a runnable jar in a network folder during the install lifecycle. Now I try to add more detail at my problem. I'm developing a java program using maven like tool of building. After

Now I created some profiles inside my pom and after installation I need to move my runnable jar file inside a network directory. For example I hava:

1. My jar file in target/myJar.jar
2. Network folder is in \192.168.0.11\export\jars

To do this I'm using maven-upload-plugin with the following configuration:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-upload-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <serverId>MyServer</serverId>
                    <resourceSrc>${project.build.directory}\${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}</resourceSrc>
                    <resourceDest>/home/export/jars</resourceDest>
                    <url>\\192.168.0.11\export\jars</url>
                </configuration>
        </plugin> 

I'm not able to find much documentation about this plugin, and I would want some information about resourceSRC,resourceDest,url.

Where i run the command mvn upload:upload -P Production, i get anything is copied in my remote folder.

Where am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This is Java, not Windows. Try to use Java form for the url. I believe in your case url would be like this:

file://192.168.0.11/export/jars

Answer 2

Since you're using maven-upload-plugin so according to the doc it should be something like this

<url>file://192.168.0.11/export/jars</url>

but here is another post with some success

If you can try some other plugin here is another solution with different plugin which is more common
