Please take a look at http://sd.no-ip.biz/rpm-plugin/ which is a copy of the site from what I have so far. I have basically started with the configuration of the plugin and was just getting ready to start building the Plexus component to make things work. One thing I had not worked out yet was how to be able to indicate where the dependencies need to be installed; artifacts which need to be installed with the package need to be specified as dependencies so Maven will order the build properly, but I need to be able to specify all of the mapping information for them somehow.
I was trying to build an RPM plugin which was useful to me. This means that the functionality has to way exceed the Maven 1.x RPM plugin (which just packaged the project's single artifact). Most of the items in the configuration I put together are things I need for one or more of the RPM packages I need to build. Please let me know how close our plugins are to each other. -----Original Message----- From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 17:52 To: Maven Developers List Subject: Re: Components and Mojos in the same Plugin On Fri, 2005-10-21 at 15:14 -0500, Allison, Bob wrote: > In starting to build the RPM plugin, I was going to build an RPMArchiver > plexus component, assuming that it might be useful for other uses. We got an RPM plug-in so maybe let us try to get it out in the open. We at Mergere worked on one for a client and it would be nice if you didn't have to redo it because we couldn't free it in time.

Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org http://maven.apache.org Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay. -- Eric Hoffer, Reflections on the Human Condition --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
