Hi all, Tommaso suggested that the when building the parent pom, the binary assembly of the tdb-launcher should be built as well. Currently the tdb-launcher module creates an appropriate assembly when the module is built. The executable jar is then placed in it target folder along with a readme file and a license and dependencies file.
My first question is: Do we want to place the binary in the parent module's target folder? If so, do we want it in the tdb-launcher's target folder as well? My second question is: How does and where to will these the source and binary assemblies be deployed? Is the release plugin capable to deploy them somewhere? Currently I only know of a capability to deploy to a maven repository. But because the binary and source assemblies are not libraries/jars that does not seem to be reasonable for those files. It is worth discussing if we want to create different profiles for default builds that are used by developers and for the release process. This means we could have the build behave in one way as default (e.g. the current behavior) and in another way when we do builds for releases (e.g. copy the binary from tdb-launcher to the parent module's target folders). Maybe there are additional tasks we want to perform for releases only. Maybe I just misunderstand some things. The release plugin is still somewhat of a mystery to me.

I am currently copying this artifact to the parent's target folder. But how do we want this to work? And where should the artifact end up? Do we want to deploy it? I understood deploy to be for maven artifacts only and zip files are not maven artifacts. I am not sure if the release plugin correctly picks it up for signing etc. But testing this takes awfully long so I'll know later. Also, does anyone know what this in the parent.pom means exactly?
