jcabi-beanstalk-maven-plugin - Deploying to AWS Beanstalk with Maven

Deploying WAR projects to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Create new application in Amazon Elastic Beanstalk.

Configure running environment and save configuration template. Don't forget that you can customize your app with configuration files as explained here.

Configure jcabi-beanstalk-maven-plugin in your pom.xml:

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId>
        <artifactId>jcabi-beanstalk-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.9.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <name>example</name>
          <bucket>webapps.example.com</bucket>
          <key>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.war</key>
          <template>example</template>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>deploy</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Run mvn deploy.

That's all you need. Application name has to be the same as the CNAME of environment. Server has to be defined in settings.xml with username and password (AWS IAM key and secret key).

If you have any problems - don't hesitate to submit a ticket to github.
