Plugin Documentation

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal Description
exists:help Display help information on exists-maven-plugin.
Call mvn exists:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name> to display parameter details.
exists:local Set a property if the artifact in the local repository is same as the just built artifact. The local repository is either defined in settings.xml or defaults to ~/.m2/repository. Using the defaults, executing this plugin will prevent the install plugin from reinstalling identical artifacts to the local repository. This situation will often occur with a recurring schedule build job.
exists:remote Set a property if the artifact in the remote repository is same as the just built artifact. The remote repository is usually defined in the pom's distributionManagement section. Using the defaults, executing this plugin will prevent the install plugin from reinstalling identical artifacts to the remote repository.
