I use a Maven plugin called exec-maven-plugin to execute an external LDAP script called ldapmodify. However, even this script is executed successfully, Maven install fails. Here is the output when I run Maven install:
INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:exec (default) @ entity-matching-bootstrap ---

attempting to connect:

The result of excecuting the script means that the entry I want to add already exists in LDAP. And the return code 68 is seen as a failure by Maven. Is it possible to set Maven or exec-maven-plugin not fail on this condition? Thanks.
See Exec Maven Plugin / exec:exec:
successCodes
int[]Exit codes to be resolved as successful execution for non-compliant applications (applications not returning 0 for success).
