[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-369?page=comments#action_65224 ]
Holger Brands commented on MOJO-369: ------------------------------------ While I tend to agree, that a source jar and the webstart packaging is not the same, the webstart artifact is not always required. For example you can create an assembly of a client app and install and use it locally without webstart. Perhaps you can think about webstart packaging as another kind of distribution package. The main artifact of the project (the JAR) is distributed as webstart application. It logically belongs to this project (the required dependencies and some other metadata are already defined there). Besides, you already can create other distributions with the assembly plugin from within the project. Consider a real world client server application as multi-project build: - one module for the server - three modules for three different client applications talking to the server - a few other modules with shared components Now, you want to create three webstart applications for the three client apps. As I understand it now, I would have to create three additional modules for the three webstart packages. This is doable, but seems to be too complex ... > support running the webstart:jnlp plugin alongside a normal pom, without > having to use multiprojects > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MOJO-369 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-369 > Project: Mojo > Type: New Feature > Components: webstart > Reporter: Jerome Lacoste > Priority: Minor > > > Today, you cannot do something like > mvn install webstart:jnlp > hoping that your freshly installed artifact gets packaged into your jnlp > artifact.
