Maven Commands

Frequently used maven commands:

mvn clean install -U -DskipTests=true

clean: clears all the compiled jars from previous previous run (compile/package/install)

-U: option fetches all jars afresh.

-DskipTests: options works only when SURE-FIRE plugin is used. (I think)

Running tests:

Run all Tests in project: 

mvn test

Run all Tests in a Test Class:

mvn test -Dtest=fully.qualified.name.of.test.class (com.myproject.business.CreateCustomerTest)

Run a Test in a Test Class

mvn test -Dtest=fully.qualified.name.of.test.class#testMethod 

Linux - Search and Copy command

Problem: 

Find all XML files that start with word TEST and copy them to a directory

Command:

find . -iname 'TEST*.java' -exec cp {} ~/path/to/directory/. \;

Gotchas:

• make sure the command ends with \;
