You can't build the installer directly with Maven, however, you can run ant within maven to build your installer with maven-antrun-plugin



org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-antrun-plugin
1.7


build installer
none

run




classpathref="maven.plugin.classpath" />








org.apache.ant
ant-commons-net
1.8.2


ant-contrib
ant-contrib
1.0b3


ant
ant

Or just use the exec-maven-plugin



org.codehaus.mojo
exec-maven-plugin


Combined
package

exec


${project.build.directory}
"PATH-TO-IA"/build.exe

Combined-x64.iap_xml
-d
${project.build.directory}
