David Hoffer commented on MOJO-848:
-----------------------------------

Perhaps you can help me understand your comments.  I have used the assembly 
plugin the past and have had some difficulty with its configuration.  It does 
not seem to have all the functionality needed.  

Most significant is the batch/shell script generation, my understanding is that 
it does not do this.  However the appassembler plugin does this nicely.  The 
assembly plugin can make an executable jar however often times we want 
batch/shell script generation.  How can I do this?

Also it is fine to use either of these plugins but unless I can copy(deploy) 
the resulting file(s) I cannot automate the build process, the files just 
remain in some obscure build target location.  How can I copy the resulting 
file(s) to a release server?  Is there a plugin to do this?

> The appassembler works great for assembling an application that can be 
> launched with a batch/shell script but I can't distribute this as it is.  
> What I need is for the results to be included in a zip file named with the 
> proper name/version.
> I also need a mechanism to copy this zip file to a common location where 
> applications are stored.  This later step could be performed by this plugin 
> or another which ever is the best approach.  The end result of this is to be 
> able to automate the release of an application using the appassembler plugin.
> In summary, what I want to be able to do to release my application is:
> mvn release:prepare release:perform package appassembler:assemble (or equiv.)
> where this results in the application being zipped and placed in specified 
> network folder.
