-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Trygve, hi everybody, as I promised, I have added an example to the pkg-maven-plugin in sandbox. Therefore I had to do some fixes cause I had comitted a broken state of the plugin. You need to "svn update" pkg-maven-plugin and then call "mvn install". Next cd down to src/it/BAR-PACKAGES and call "mvn -e package". There you have a proof-of-concept for <mkdir>, <echo>, etc. I strictly follow the "dont re-invent the wheel"-philosophy. My mechanism for setting user,group and permission should be very powerful but also intuitive for unix-guyz since I use umask, and chmod syntax. I hope you like it so far and we can bring this ideas together with unix-maven-plugin. Still waiting for feedback about the philosophy questions.
I'll reply on that right way.
There is still a bug left creating an empty folder at toplevel. However I wait about about feedback and a strategy towards unix-maven-plugin before I put further energy into this.
I'm not quite sure what you wanted to show me other than the use of existing plugins. Using existing plugins is fine as long as they provide specific features (like the appassembler plugin) but for basic file system operations is it *way* more efficient doing it in the plugin and it very easy to develop. The code for the assembly operations is just a handfull of method.
Which features in particular would you like to work/improve on? You can look at my personal roadmap in jira and in TODO.txt in svn.
