Legacy Artifact Handlers Reference

  Maven 3 artifact handlers (see {{{../maven-artifact/apidocs/org/apache/maven/artifact/handler/ArtifactHandler.html} API}})
  define for each {{{../maven-model/maven.html#class_dependency}dependency type}} information on the artifact
  (classifier, extension, language) and how to manage it as dependency (add to classpath, include dependencies).

  in {{{./apidocs/org/apache/maven/lifecycle/providers/packaging/package-summary.html}<<<org.apache.maven.lifecycle.providers.packaging>>>}} package
  because they are specific for each packaging:

%{toc|fromDepth=2}

  Versions of the plugins are shared in a few constants:

      <url>http://svn.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository</url>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <distributionManagement>
    <!-- Site omitted - each project must provide their own -->
    <repository>
      <id>apache.releases</id>
      <name>Apache Release Distribution Repository</name>
      <url>scp://minotaur.apache.org/www/www.apache.org/dist/maven-repository</url>

      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <distributionManagement>
    <!-- Site omitted - each project must provide their own -->
    <repository>
      <id>apache.releases</id>
      <name>Apache Release Distribution Repository</name>

  mode.

** Maven-Core

  We'll examine the different parts of maven-core on a case-by-case
  basis, below:

*** DefaultLifecycleExecutor

  When binding goals to the project's configured lifecycle, each mojo
  descriptor should declare whether it requires online/offline status.
  This value should be a java.lang.Boolean, so it can implement 3VL
  (three value logic: yes, no, don't-care). The requiresOnline

      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <distributionManagement>
    <!-- Site omitted - each project must provide their own -->
    <repository>
      <id>apache.releases</id>
      <name>Apache Release Distribution Repository</name>

                    // on Windows, need a short path or we hit 256 character limit for paths
                    // using EXECUTOR_NUMBER guarantees that concurrent builds on same agent
                    // will not trample each other plus workaround for JENKINS-52657
                    dir(isUnix() ? 'test' : "c:\\mvn-it-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}.tmp") {
                        def WORK_DIR=pwd()
                        try {

We have a lifecycle mapping for the packaging of *jar* below. You see that for this packaging we have a *default* lifecycle and a list of phases where each phase is a comma separated list of goals to run and they are in the form groupId:artifactId:version.

<configuration>
  <lifecycles>
    <lifecycle>
      <id>default</id>
      <phases>
        <process-resources>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:resources</process-resources>

            Both "org.apache" and "org.codehaus" are default providers of MOJO plugins
            which are especially dedicated to Maven projects.
            The MOJO stands for "Maven plain Old Java Object".
            Each mojo is an executable goal in Maven, and a plugin is a distribution of
            one or more related mojos.
