KillAfter deprecated warning when running exec: java

Question

I noticed that I get this warning every time I run the exec: java command in MAVEN.

[WARNING] Warning: killAfter is now deprecated. Do you need it? Comment on the MEXEC-6.

How can I get rid of it? I was looking for him, but I have no idea.

Answer 1

To get rid of this warning you need to change your pom.xml

  <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.3.2</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>java</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <!-- to get rid of the warning: [WARNING] Warning: killAfter is now deprecated. Do you need it ? Please comment on MEXEC-6. see: method execute() in https://github.com/ispringer/exec-maven-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/exec/ExecJavaMojo.java --> <killAfter>-1</killAfter> <mainClass>foodfinder.client.Launcher</mainClass> </configuration> </plugin>

choose one:

1) modify the exec-maven-plugin configuration in your pom by adding:

 <killAfter>-1</killAfter> 

2) or add a command line parameter:

 -Dexec.killAfter=-1
