Baking is done during phase process-resources by default.

Goals

Bake

Will bake the site once.

mvn jbake:bake

Watch

Will bake the site and watch for changes in source, baking again on any change.

mvn jbake:watch

Serve

Will bake the site, watch for changes in source (baking again on any change) and serve the site with Jetty.

mvn jbake:serve

Configuration

parameter	default	goals	description
source	src/main/jbake	all	The source directory where assets, content templates and jbake.properties are stored. Parameter is passed to JBake Oven.
destination	target/jbake	all	The destination directory where the baked site is written to. Parameter is passed to JBake Oven.
clearCache	true	all	The local cache is cleared when true. Parameter is passed to JBake Oven.
cleanDestination	true	watch, serve	All files in destination directory are removed when true before baking. This prevents orphaned files, but requires a full bake (see local cache).
failOnError	true	all	Breaks the build when true and errors occur during baking in JBake Oven.
port	8080	serve	The HTTP port Jetty is listening on. Parameter is passed to Jetty Server.

All parameters can be set on command line with prefix jbake as usual, e.g.:

mvn jbake:serve -Djbake.source=src/main/resources -Djbake.destination=target/site -Djbake.port=8181
