It is also possible to specify a custom location for the ra.xml file. For instance to use the file located in src/resources/ra.xml, configure your project as follows:
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-rar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> <raXmlFile>src/resources/ra.xml</raXmlFile> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
Then execute the plugin by invoking the rar:rar goal.
mvn rar:rar
