Configuring a Maven Builder for a Job

To configure a Maven builder for a Job:
If you are creating a new Plan or new Job, start at step 2.

1. Navigate to the Job's configuration pages, as described on Editing a Job.
   
2. In the 'Builder' dropdown, select the Maven 2.x/Maven (1) builder that you wish to configure for this Job (e.g. "Maven 2"). The builder that you select will become one of the Job's capability requirements. For details please see Configuring a Job's Requirements.
   Tip: If you want to configure a new shared local builder capability in Bamboo, you can do so by clicking the 'Add New Builder' link and entering the builder details in the window that displays. Once you have added the new builder, it will be available for you to select from the 'Builder' dropdown.
3. The screen will refresh to display the builder settings specific to Maven:
   • 'Project File' (Optional) — Enter the path to your Maven 2 project file, relative to the working sub directory specified (below). If you do not specify this, Maven 2 will use the pom.xml in the root of the working sub directory.
     Please note, this field does not apply if you are using Maven 1.
   • 'Goal' — Specify the Maven goal that you want Bamboo to execute each time the source code changes. For example: clean test (this will run the Maven goal 'clean' followed by the Maven goal 'test'). You can also use '-D' to define one or more JVM parameters, e.g.: -Djava.awt.headless=true (this will pass the parameter 'java.awt.headless' with a value of 'true'). Multiple maven goals can be specified with a space-delimited list. You can also include variables (see Using Global or Build-specific Variables).
   • 'Build JDK' — Choose a JDK from the list. The JDK that you select will become one of the Job's capability requirements. For details please see Configuring a Job's Requirements.
     Tip: If you want to configure a new shared local JDK capability in Bamboo, you can do so by clicking the 'Add New JDK' link and entering the JDK details in the window that displays. Once you have added the new JDK, it will be available for you to select from the 'JDK' dropdown.

     You can then specify these generic JDK capabilities as requirements for your Job.
