I need to untar a arbitrary tar.gz file(not an artifact) using maven. I used following plugin, but it untar all the content of the tar.gz file in some other .tar file. I need to get all the content to a specific folder rather than to some other tar file. Please suggest what else can I do.

Here is my pom.xml module:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>  
    <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>  
    <version>1.6</version>  
    <executions>  
        <execution>  
            <id>prepare</id>  
            <phase>validate</phase>  
            <configuration>  
                <tasks>  
                    <echo message="prepare phase" />  
                    <gunzip src="../gui/src/CelGui/target/cel-gui.tar.gz"/>  
                </tasks>  
            </configuration>  
            <goals>  
                <goal>run</goal>  
            </goals>  
        </execution>  
    </executions>  
</plugin>

  • @Tunkai .. Sir I have gone through all the solutions but none solved my issue. To me, maven-antrun-plugin is not working. – sakshi garg Nov 16 '15 at 10:01

    If `maven-antrun-plugin` is not working then you should post what you tried and what didn't work. Because it should (as per the accepted answer on the dupe). – Tunaki Nov 16 '15 at 10:02

Use untar command after gunzip that will complete the task for you.

<untar src="xyz.tar.gz" compression="gzip" dest="<desitination_folder>"/>

after this delete your tar file if required using delete command
