question about maven and eclipse

Question

Hello, while running maven from eclipse you have option to execute these launch configurations by default .. here is the image of that :

Now I can add my own launch configurations and execute them. Like this :

Now instead of running run configurations every time, is it possible that I put my own launch configuration called "Clean install skip tests with assembly" instead of default run configuration #1(Maven assembly:assembly) or can I add #10 configuration to be my created configuration. Thank you

Answer 1

When you select Run As > 2 Maven Build (the one with the shortcut. It may not always be 2) you can choose which run configuration to use from a simpler dialog - including your custom.

Answer 2

For skipping tests dont add -D in the goals field. Use the "Skip Tests" checkbox that is below the Profiles input box adn it should work :)

I don't think so. But once you've run your Maven Build Run Configuration, it should be listed under the "Run As..." green arrow:

And you can add it as favorite if you want.
