execute windows powershell script using pom.xml

Question

I want to execute windows powershell script with Maven. Here is what I tried:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>some-execution</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <executable>D:\Projects\test.ps1</executable>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

But it is just opening the powershell script while executing the pom

mvn exec:exec

Answer 1

Doesn't got any other option so write below line in batch file

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command D:\Projects\Test.ps1

and use the exec plugin to call the batch file, which will execute the powershell script.

Like

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>some-execution</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <executable>D:\Projects\test1.bat</executable>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
