Questions tagged [exec-maven-plugin]

Use this tag for questions specifically related to the usage of the Exec Maven Plugin, which allows to execute arbitrary programs or other Java programs during a Maven build.

The plugin offers two goals: exec:exec and exec:java. The first one can be used to run arbitrary programs. The second to run other Java programs, however the latter does not spawn a new process.
