How to execute maven tasks in eclipse (Sonatype plugin)
- by Bruce
Hi all
I know it must be something simple, but I just can't figure it out..
I'm using the Sonatype maven plugin on eclipse. When I want to build a war file for a webapp project, the only way I know to do it is to use the command line and type mvn package.
I've looked all through the right click menu and I can't find any way to do it from eclipse.
There's a maven submenu that seems to have no options to do with building, and there's a run menu that doesn't seem right - I don't want to run my project - I just want to build it. There is a maven build option in the run menu, but if I run it, a configuration window pops up for me to enter goals in..
How I do I just do a simple mvn package, but through gui? What am I missing?
Thanks!
