Where are maven plugins stored? in the local repository as well? what happens if you build your application with eclipse? does it store the plugins inside the eclipse/plugins folder or still in the local repository?
In Maven, you can use mvn help:effective-pom to list all the current project's plugins and its version.
Build plugins They execute during the build process and should be configured in the <build/> element of pom. xml.
The Resources Plugin handles the copying of project resources to the output directory. There are two different kinds of resources: main resources and test resources.
Where are maven plugins stored? in the local repository as well?
Yes. Plugins are downloaded from a remote repository and stored in the local repository. The exact final location will thus depend on the groupId of the plugins (the core plugins end up in ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins
where ~/
stands for your home directory for example in windows server 2016 it is stored under this path C:\Users\YourUserName\.m2
)
what happens if you build your application with eclipse?
Hmm... Nothing special.
Does it store the plugins inside the eclipse/plugins folder or still in the local repository?
No, Maven (embedded or external) uses the location defined in the <localRepository>
element of the global or user settings (which defaults to ~/.m2/repository
), unless you overrode the Local Repository path in Window > Preferences > Maven > User Settings.
