Commands

Testing

mvn clean verify

With multimodule project the testing process will be stopped once a module fails. To avoid this there is the "fail at end" property:

mvn clean verify -fae

Tests on modules depending on the failed module won't run, but all the other modules will have their tests executed.

Checking for Newer Versions

To check if there are newer versions for the dependencies use the following command:

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates versions:display-plugin-updates

Generating Site

mvn clean site

Purging Dependencies

Sometimes you need to delete and download again all the dependencies. This may be caused by the use of snapshots.

This command will do so:

mvn dependency:purge-local-repository

To remove only snapshots:

mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DsnapshotsOnly=true
