Maven Package Command Explained

To use the Maven package command, you need to navigate to the root directory of the project in the command line and ensure that Maven is already installed. Then run the following command:

mvn package

This will compile the source code of the project and package it into an executable JAR file. The packaged JAR file will be stored in the project’s target directory.

You can also customize more by using some options of the package command. For example, you can use the -DskipTests option to skip the testing phase, or use the -Dmaven.test.skip=true option to completely skip the testing phase.

Generally speaking, the use of the Maven “package” command can simplify the project build process and generate an executable JAR file, making it easy to deploy to other environments.
