I tried integrate "npm" to my SpringBoot Maven project by add plugin "exec-maven-plugin" to run npm command, It's run smooth on my terminal but build failure when run inside netbeans. 

Below is build log from netbeans,
cd /.... ; JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/java/maven/bin/mvn" -DskipTests=true install

Comment 1 Tomas Stupka 2016-06-20 12:08:48 UTC

it looks like the PATH variable isn't set to point to 'npm'

an external maven process started from NetBeans is preset with the environmental settings from the running NetBeans instance, but unfortunately, when NetBeans is run as an installed app, this settings do not always happen to be the same an on the commandline - see also http://wiki.netbeans.org/MacOSXEnvForApp

you can also try to run NB from the commandline
