How to generate the jar file by Maven?

Question

I need to generate a file jar in the project folder as shown in the image below;

I don’t want to be depending on the bash command mvn clean install, i would love to put the settings in the pom.xml file so when the application runs it automatically generates the file. jar in web project folder.

This is a Spring Boot project, but the settings I put below did not work and I need to know how to hit the code;

<build>
<finalName>dockerTest</finalName>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
         <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

A fix: not a command bash, is a command. Simple as that. It could run on Bourne Shell, Dash, Ash, Csh, Zsh, Cmd, Powershell, even be called inside Ruby using`tics`.

On the other hand, Eclipse provides you with an ease to run Maven commands. An alternative is:

• right click on your project
• select "Debug As" (I prefer "debug" because it is more likely to call the JDK than the JRE)
• then select "Maven build..."
• put your goals desired

After doing this, the shortcut is in the last "runs":

note that using the previously available options shown by the Eclipse context menu, such as "Maven install" or "Maven clean", does not leave the shortcut available

Other Ides also allow you to make calls of this type, but I advise you to learn more about Maven’s command line options; in CI/CD environments, you will have access to the raw command line normally in a YAML, and in projects that grow enough these options become more useful.
