Plugins in Maven and POM.xml
java, maven, maven-3, maven-plugin, pom.xml
Solution
<project>
<groupId>org.koshik.javabrains</groupId>
<artifactId>JarName</artifactId> (A fldernamed JarName was created)
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>JarName</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jibx</groupId>
<artifactId>jibx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>bind</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
You can also place plugins in the `<build>` section of `<profile>` if you use maven profiles. The order doesn't matter.
Problem
I just started using Maven and I read that plugins are additional components that can be used. A typical structure of `pom.xml` file is ``` <project> <groupId>org.koshik.javabrains</groupId> <artifactId>JarName</artifactId> (A fldernamed JarName was created) <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>JarName</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> ``` Question: Where should I insert a `plugin` tag? such as the following: ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.jibx</groupId> <artifactId>jibx-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.2.4</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>bind</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ``` Before the dependency or after the `dependency` tag? Does it matter?
