Tools for debugging a Maven pom.xml?[edit]
What tools are available to help me debug a Maven pom.xml that isn't working properly? In particular, I'm having trouble getting Maven to run Proguard in the pre-integration-test phase and then run the unit tests against the Proguarded jar in the integration-test phase (to ensure that my Proguard configuration hasn't broken anything); my naive attempt runs Proguard but then undoes it by recompiling before the test.

- I doubt that anyone will listen, but this is why I much prefer Ant to Maven. It's harder to build simple things, but once you need to break Maven's assumptions about dependencies and start taking explicit control of them, then Ant wins. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:20, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
