maven goal for different modules

[Pradeep Kumar]

Hi friends,
I have a requirement to execute different goals for different project in a multi project build system. Ho can i do it? The below is what it looks like

  
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
    http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.orgname.division</groupId>
    <artifactId>basebuild</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <name>Base Build Automation</name>
 
    <modules>
    
        <module>project1</module>    
        <module>project2</module>
        <module>project3</module>
        <module>project4</module>
        <module>project5</module>
    
    </modules>
    

</project>
 

Now i need to execute mvn packagefor project1, mvn install for project2, mvn compile for project3 and mvn deploy for project4. Also preferably, it should be externalizable.

How do i achieve this in maven? Please let me know.

I think you are trying to use the wrong tool for your build automation. I recommend that you use a CI tool such as Jenkins instead and have it invoke the builds for the separate modules. Then in Jenkins you can control which target to apply to which module.
