Bamboo 4.2 : Maven

This page describes how to configure a Bamboo task that uses a Maven executable. Apache Maven is a tool used for building and managing Java-based projects.

To configure a Maven task:

  1. Navigate to the task configuration for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
  2. Click the name of the desired Maven task, or click Add Task and then a Maven option (e.g. Maven 2.x) if creating a new task.
  3. Complete the following settings:

    Maven configuration
    Task DescriptionA description of the task, which is displayed in Bamboo.
    ExecutableThe Maven executable that is available to perform the task. The executable that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
    You can add other executables, if required.
    GoalThe Maven goal that Bamboo will execute.
    • You can use '-D' to define one or more JVM parameters. For example, -Djava.awt.headless=true will pass the parameter 'java.awt.headless' with a value of 'true'.
    • Multiple maven goals can be specified, separated with a spaces.
    • You can include variables (see Using Global or Build-specific Variables).
    Use Maven Return CodeSelect to have Bamboo skip log parsing.
    Build JDK

    The JDKs that are available to perform the task. The JDK that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
    You can add other JDKs, if required.

    Override Project File(Optional: Maven 2.x and later only) The path to your Maven project file, relative to the working sub directory specified. If this is not specified, Maven will use the pom.xml in the root of the working sub directory.
  4. If required, specify environment variables and working directory settings:
    Environment Variables

    (Optional)  Additional system environment variables that you want to pass to your build. Note that existing environment variables are automatically available to the executable. You can also include Bamboo global or build-specific variables (see Using global, plan or build-specific variables).
    Multiple variables should be separated with spaces. Parameters with spaces must be quoted (e.g ANT_OPTS="-Xms200m -Xmx700m").

    Working Sub Directory(Optional)  An alternative subdirectory, relative to the job's root directory, where Bamboo will run the executable. The root directory contains everything checked out from the job's configured source repository. If you leave this field blank, Bamboo will look for build files in the root directory. This option is useful if your task has a build script in a subdirectory and the executable needs to be run from within that subdirectory.
  5. If applicable, select The build will produce test results and choose one of the following:

    Look in the standard test results directory  
    Specify custom results directoriesSpecify the alternative directory, relative to the root directory, where test results will be created. You can use Ant-style patterns such as **/test-reports/*.xml. Bamboo requires test results to be in JUnit XML format.
    (warning) For jobs that use CVS, the root directory is <bamboo-home>/xml-data/build-dir/JOB_KEY/<cvs-module>.
  6. Click Save.
