如何将内容从Maven模块目标目录复制到父目录

Question

I have a maven project which has 2 maven modules ie module 1 and module 2. Below is the structure of the project

Parent

-- module 1
        -- pom.xml
-- module 2
        -- pom.xml
-- pom.xml

Now when i build the project, both module 1 and module 2 build directory will have a jar and xml file.

What i want to achieve is to have content of build directory of both module 1 and module 2 to be copied to a specific directory structure under parent when i build the project.

Please can you suggest on how i can achieve this ?

You can use maven-resources-plugin to do this.

Configure it to copy all needed files to your wanted path, and bind the execution during the phase install of both module 1 and 2.

Doing this, when the module has just been compiled and artifacts produced, the resource plugin will execute and copy your files.

You can find the documentation of the plugin here: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/copy-resources.html
