I'd like to place my output jar and jar-with-dependencies into another folder (not in target/
but in ../libs/
).
How can I do that?
You can use the outputDirectory parameter of the maven-jar-plugin for this purpose:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>../libs</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
</build>
...
</project>
But as cdegroot wrote, you should probably better not fight the maven way.
