How to Package a Maven Project and ftp the jar files to another server, from Eclipse in single step (from Windows Machine)

In most of the scenarios, I have worked (in Hadoop Project or Spark Projects.)

I end up developing my code (mostly Jave) in a Windows machine, (with my dependencies jars added - Maven Project) and ftping the jars to Hadoop or Spark cluster.

I found an easy step to package and ftp in single step




Write a build.bat

call "c:\Program Files\Apache\Maven\bin\mvn" package

echo open sftp://UserName:Passwd@<ServerName-where-you-need-Jar> -hostkey="server's hostkey" >> ftpcmd.dat
echo cd /targer/path >> ftpcmd.dat
echo put "c:\workspace\ProjectName\target\project-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" >> ftpcmd.dat
echo put "c:\workspace\ProjectName\target\project-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar" >> ftpcmd.dat
echo exit >> ftpcmd.dat
winscp.com /script=ftpcmd.dat
del ftpcmd.dat

Click Run -> External Tools (bottom most menu)-> External Tool Configuration

or

Every time you can click on this config from your Run menu, to package and ftp in single step

Tip: I ftp the fat Jar(with dependencies) only one time, and put a REM (REMARK - commenting a line in batch file) in the dependencies ftp line.

Also commet out the build plugin in pom.xml

Then I rename the class, (so It won't conflict with the class from the fat jar) and ftp only the jar (with out dependencies)

I pass both the jars to the program, so I can avoid complete package and ftping time. and quickly I can check the changes in cluster and develop faster :)
