Using Ounce/Maven

The Ounce/Maven plug-in allows you to use Ounce/Maven to create AppScan® Source projects and applications, scan the applications, publish the resulting assessments, and generate AppScan Source reports. Specify the Ounce/Maven goals and parameters as you would for any other Maven plugin.

You can call Ounce/Maven commands in two ways:

  • Using a Maven pom (build) file: The pom file allows you to create AppScan Source application and project files as part of your build. After installing Ounce/Maven, you can modify a Maven pom file to specify the ounce:application and ounce:project-only goals as needed for your AppScan Source tasks.
  • From the command line: Invoke the ounce:project, ounce:scan, and ounce:report goals from the command line to create AppScan Source project files (or override project file parameters from the pom file), start AppScan Source scans, publish assessments, and generate AppScan Source reports.

Each of the Ounce/Maven goals includes a number of parameters. For information about Ounce/Maven goals, see Ounce/Maven goals.
