Thread about automating install/deploy

[Edelson, Justin]

So hopefully I didn't turn off Mr. Syer entirely... but it did get me
thinking. Does Maven need a new packaging type to do what he's talking
about?

Something like this...


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
        
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        
<artifactId>maven-3rdparty-plugin</artifactId>
                                        <configuration>
                                                <basedir>lib</basedir>
                                                <jarFiles>
                                                        <jarFile>
        
<generatePom>true</generatePom>

<fileName>jConnect5.5.EBF11656.jar</fileName>
                                                        </jarFile>
                                                        <jarFile>
        
<generatePom>true</generatePom>
        
<artifactId>jai-core</artifactId>
        
<groupId>javax.media</groupId>
        
<version>1.1.2</version>
        
<fileName>jai-1.1.2/jai_core.jar</fileName>
                                                        </jarFile>
                                                </jarFiles>
                                        </configuration>
                                        <extensions>true</extensions>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </build>
</project>

This new packaging type is only configured for deploy and install phases
(maybe verify as well).

Thoughts?

Although I'm perfectly happy with my shell scripts, I can see the virtue
in doing this with a pom.
