Chapter 5. Fabric8 Maven Plug-In
Abstract
This Maven plug-in makes it easy to create or update a fabric profile from your Maven project.
Warning
The Fabric8 Maven plug-in is a technical preview only, and is not supported in JBoss Fuse 6.1.
5.1. Preparing to Use the Plug-In
Edit your Maven settings
First you will need to edit your
~/.m2/settings.xml
file to add the fabric server's user and password so that the maven plugin can log in to the fabric. For example, you could add the following server
element to your settings.xml
file:
<settings> <servers> <server> <id>fabric8.upload.repo</id> <username>Username</username> <password>Password</password> </server> ... </servers> </settings>
Where
Username
and Password
are the credentials of a Fabric user with administrative privileges (for example, the credentials you would use to log on to the Management Console).
Customising the repository ID
The default Fabric Maven repository ID is
fabric8.upload.repo
. You can specify additional server
elements in your settings.xml
file for each of the fabrics you need to work with. To select the relevant credentials, you can set the serverId
property in the Fabric8 Maven plug-in configuration
section (see Section 5.4, “Configuration Properties”) or set the fabric8.serverId
Maven property.
