Maven Exec Plugin : How configure the working directory

exec, java, maven

Solution

I didn't found solution with exec:java.

So, now I use exec:exec instead because we can set the workingDirectory and it' OK.

<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <goals>
            <goal>exec</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
</executions>
<configuration> 
    <executable>java</executable>
    <arguments>
        <argument>-classpath</argument> 
        <classpath />
        <argument>com.package.MyMainClass</argument>  
    </arguments>
    <workingDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</workingDirectory>           
</configuration>

Problem

I'm using the Exec Maven plugin with the following command : mvn exec:java and I didn't manage to set the working directory with this execution mode. I want to use a mainClass (in a specific package) and I want the root folder of my execution in another directory than the ${basedir}. Thank you for your help. My pom.xml where the target < workingDirectory > doesn't work for me : ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.3.2</version> <configuration> <workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}\classes</workingDirectory> <mainClass>com.package.MyMainClass</mainClass> <includeProjectDependencies>true</includeProjectDependencies> </configuration> </plugin> ``` the result with the -X option ``` [DEBUG] Configuring mojo org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.3.2:java from plugin realm ClassRealm[plugin>org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.3.2,parent: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@11b86e7] [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.3.2:java' with basic configurator --> [DEBUG] (f) arguments = [] [DEBUG] (f) classpathScope = runtime [DEBUG] (f) cleanupDaemonThreads = true [DEBUG] (f) daemonThreadJoinTimeout = 15000 [DEBUG] (f) includePluginDependencies = false [DEBUG] (f) includeProjectDependencies = true [DEBUG] (f) keepAlive = false [DEBUG] (f) killAfter = 1 [DEBUG] (f) localRepository = id: local url: file:///C:/Users/100728452/.m2/repository/ layout: none [DEBUG] (f) mainClass = com.package.MyMainClass [DEBUG] (f) pluginDependencies = [org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.3.2:, org.codehaus.plexus:plexus...
