1、maven-jar-plugin插件

<!-- 排除资源文件中的properties文件，不需要打到jar中，后面通过assembly插件打包到conf目录中 --><plugin>    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>    <configuration>        <excludes>            <exclude>**/*.properties</exclude>            <exclude>**/*.xml</exclude>            <exclude>**/*.conf</exclude>        </excludes>    </configuration></plugin>

这个插件通常不需要手动指定，默认mvn install 的时候就会运行，但是如果想排除某些资源文件，就需要手动指定一下了

2、maven-dependency-plugin<plugin> <!-- maven-dependency-plugin 会拷贝所有依赖的jar包，包括传递依赖的jar包都会拷贝 --> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>    <executions>        <execution>            <id>copy</id>            <phase>install</phase>            <goals>                <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>            </goals>            <configuration>                <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>            </configuration>        </execution>    </executions></plugin>maven默认是不理会项目所依赖的jar包的，但是如果要发布项目，需要通过maven-dependency-plugin将项目所依赖的jar包输出到lib目录；maven-dependency-plugin 会拷贝所有依赖的jar包，包括传递依赖的jar包都会拷贝，比如项目依赖于a.jar，而a.jar的项目依赖b.jar,c.jar，那么maven-dependency-plugin会将a.jar，b.jar,c.jar一起拷贝到项目的lib目录

3、如果项目要发布源码，需要用到maven-source-plugin<!-- Source attach plugin --><plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>    <executions>        <execution>            <id>attach-sources</id>            <goals>                <goal>jar</goal>            </goals>        </execution>    </executions></plugin>

4、maven-release-plugin<!-- package release plugin --><plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>    <version>2.5</version></plugin>这个插件暂时还不知道有什么用

5、maven-Javadoc-plugin<plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>    <version>2.7</version>    <executions>        <execution>            <id>attach-javadocs</id>            <goals>                <goal>jar</goal>            </goals>        </execution>    </executions></plugin>

6、maven-war-plugin<plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>    <version>2.1.1</version>    <configuration>        <webResources>            <resource>                <directory>src/main/webapp</directory>                <excludes>                    <exclude>**/*.jpg</exclude>                </excludes>            </resource>        </webResources>    </configuration></plugin>这个插件通常不需要手动指定，默认mvn install 的时候就会运行，但是如果想排除某些资源文件，就需要手动指定一下了

tomcat插件

<plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>    <version>2.0</version>    <configuration>        <path>/</path>        <port>80</port>        <uriEncoding>UTF-8</uriEncoding>        <url>http://localhost/manager/text</url>        <server>tomcat6</server>    </configuration></plugin><plugin>    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>    <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>    <version>1.1</version>    <configuration>        <path>/</path>        <port>80</port>        <uriEncoding>UTF-8</uriEncoding>        <url>http://localhost/manager/text</url>        <server>tomcat6</server>    </configuration></plugin>
代码规范检查插件
<plugin>  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>  <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>  <configuration>    <configLocation>my_check.xml</configLocation>  </configuration></plugin>my_check.xml : https://git.oschina.net/it-much/dubbo-demo/blob/master/dubbo-parent/my_check.xml?dir=0&filepath=dubbo-parent%2Fmy_check.xml&oid=8c10ce5ce32148fba20c847cbf5baf310f7826f2&sha=57d2861736831834d7d16a3c61c315b6dde14bda
