Re: NSIS with maven and exe artifacts.

I was using antrun before but realized that the maven-exec plugin is better because maven is executing nsis directly instead of via an ant build.xml. Ken On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 10:55 AM, James Russo j...@halo3.net wrote: Will check those out. Thanks Stephen. -jr Stephen Connolly wrote:

Re: NSIS Maven Plugin

I've been looking at the same plugin recently and I think you can use the maven dependency plugin to copy the jars to an output directory that will be picked up by nsis. Your nsis maven project will have to declare your wars as dependencies. This is basically how I do it now without the NSIS

Re: Maven 'deploy' relationship to large-scale software deployment

2008-08-06 Thread Ken Liu
The best practice is to externalize all environment specific configuration. A single ear should be deployable to any environment without rebuilding. This is not just to simplify configuration, it is also beneficial from a QA standpoint because a binary can be moved between different environments

Hi all - Is there any way that the scm connection URL can automatically be read using svn info instead of putting it into the pom? For example, instead of writing: scm connectionscm:svn:http://my.svn.server/trunk/connection /scm You could just write something like: scm

Maven scm does not implement the svn client software, it calls the command-line svn executable instead. You will need to install the command line client available at http://subversion.tigris.org, and have it available in the path. Ken On 3/11/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I'm sort of in the same boat, but for different reasons. The maven version is considered to be part of the configuration for each project, so projects are tied to whatever version of Maven was used at release time. Upgrades are considered to be changes to the build environment, which are out of

Eric, I agree with this procedure. I would not recommend handing over a SNAPSHOT build to a QA group as a release candidate. It is safer to build off of a branch and treat that branch as a release candidate if there is ongoing development work in the trunk. If developers are putting changes into
