Question

I want that when I run the mvn install, a war can be generated in the /target and an other war in the c:….tomcat 6\deploy directory.
I’m using maven2, Eclipse and m2eclipse. How to do this ??
Thnx 🙂

You could try to use the maven-antrun-plugin to copy your war to the tomcat deploy directory like this:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>install</phase>
                    <configuration>
                        <target>
                            <copy file="{project.build.directory}/${project.actifactId}-${project.version}.war" tofile="<your tomcat path>/${project.actifactId}-${project.version}.war" />
                        </target>
                    </configuration>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
