Configure Maven Project in to Jenkins and Run

As we all know, maven is a build / project management tool, based on the concept of a project object model (POM) which contains every information about your project. Maven allows a project to build using its project object model to manage builds, dependencies, releases and documentation which are all managed from the pom.xml file.

Maven defines a standard way to build the projects, test, and deploy project artifacts. It provides a framework that enables easy reuse of common build logic for all projects following Maven's standards. We discussed maven in detail earlier here and hope you have configured maven.

First lets Create a simple maven project in Jenkins

Step 1:- Click New Items on the left menu
->Enter Project Name in “Item name” field
-> Select Maven Project
->Click OK

Step 2:- Provide the job description

Step 3:- In Source Code Management, Jenkins supports CVS and Subversion out of the box, with built-in support for Git, and also integrates with many other version control systems via plugins. We will look into these details in next articles.

Now lets make it simple and select 'None' to execute from local machine.

Step 4:- Build Triggers, We have multiple options like 'Build periodically', 'Poll SCM', 'Build whenever a SNAPSHOT dependency is built, etc. Example, if you select 'Poll SCM' option, Jenkins will poll the repository for changes based on the cron expression specified. We will see more details in the coming tutorials.

Please select any of the option based on your needs.

Step 5:- In Build, We need to tell Jenkins where to find pom.xml file. Please specify the path of your pom.xml file in Build Root POM and Specify 'Goals and options', in this example 'clean test'.

POM.xml format like this:

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

Step 6:- In Build Settings, If you want to send an email notifications, you can check 'Email Notification' and add Recipients address.

Step 7:- In Post Build Actions, You can chose steps such as Archive Artifacts, Publish Results etc.

After executing the Build, you can view the result as below:
