executing commands using maven

you can use maven exec plugin bound install phase.

in snippet below, commant ping argument 8.8.8.8 executed every time mvn install:

<project> ... <build>     <plugins>         <plugin>             <artifactid>exec-maven-plugin</artifactid>             <groupid>org.codehaus.mojo</groupid>             <version>1.2.1</version>             <executions>                 <execution>                     <id>my command runner</id>                     <phase>install</phase>                     <goals>                         <goal>exec</goal>                     </goals>                     <configuration>                         <executable>ping</executable>                         <arguments>                             <argument>8.8.8.8</argument>                         </arguments>                     </configuration>                 </execution>             </executions>         </plugin>     </plugins> </build> ... </project> 

 
, that's it.

update:

i see having trouble executing zipalign, not arbitrary command. that, there 2 ways.

using built-in zipalign of maven-android-plugin

as of release 2.5.0 of android maven plugin zipalign goal part of plugin. activate add goal zipalign execution (e.g. package phase) , set skip parameter in plugin configuration false:

<zipalign><skip>false</skip></zipalign> 

full <plugin> tag example:

<plugin>         <groupid>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupid>         <artifactid>maven-android-plugin</artifactid>         <inherited>true</inherited>         <configuration>                 <sign>                         <debug>false</debug>                 </sign>                 <zipalign>                         <verbose>true</verbose>                         <inputapk>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactid}.apk</inputapk>                         <outputapk>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactid}-signed-aligned.apk                         </outputapk>                 </zipalign>         </configuration>         <executions>                 <execution>                         <id>alignapk</id>                         <phase>package</phase>                         <goals>                                 <goal>zipalign</goal>                         </goals>                 </execution>         </executions> </plugin> 

sources:

• here you'll find example using older version (still called android-maven-plugin);
• zipalignapkbuiltbymaven: describes how automatically zipalign apk has been built maven.
• simpligility: maven android plugin zipalign , improved verification
• another example: a full pom.xml uses zipalign.

zipalign using exec-maven plugin

the code below bind functionality of zip aligning package phase, overwriting previous zip aligned file without asking.

<plugin>     <groupid>org.codehaus.mojo</groupid>     <artifactid>exec-maven-plugin</artifactid>     <version>1.1.1</version>     <executions>         <execution>             <id>zipalign</id>             <goals>                 <goal>exec</goal>             </goals>             <phase>package</phase>             <configuration>                 <executable>${android_home}/tools/zipalign</executable>                  <arguments>                     <argument>-f</argument>                     <argument>4</argument>                     <argument>target/${project.build.finalname}.apk</argument>                     <argument>target/${project.build.finalname}-zipped.apk</argument>                 </arguments>             </configuration>         </execution>     </executions> </plugin> 

please note profile has added pom actual apk. can't add parent pom. reason uses maven property defines artefact name (project.build.finalname).
