[GitLab] How to build WAR file automatically

Problem
If I hope GitLab can build a WAR file when I commit source code, how to do it?
I am using Maven 3 and JDK 7 in eclipse, and using mvn clean package -U to build WAR file in eclipse.

 How-To
Step 1. Add .gitlab-ci.yml to the root directory of my project, the content looks like: 
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
image: maven:3-jdk-7

build:
  stage: build
  script: "mvn clean package -U"
  artifacts:
    expire_in: 1 week
    when: always
    paths:
    - target/*.war

Step 2. Add, commit and Push .gitlab-ci.yml to GitLab
Step 3. Seeing the status of your pipeline and jobs
