Hi, I have a question regarding OSGi-based BIRT Report Engine (RE) and Maven dependency management.
The RE, in order to be available at runtime in the tomcat environment, must conform to a specific directory structure: 'top-level' JARs in WEB-INF/lib, config.ini in WEB-INF/platform/configuration and dozens of further JARs with horribly detailed filenames in WEB-INF/platform/plugins and sub-directories. How do I combine MVN storage of the RE JARs (and other files - config.ini, MANIFEST.MF, ...) with the strict directory structure requirements at deployment time? Ideally, I'd also like to automatically upload the RE to the Maven repo initially. I've found a hopeful plugin under http://mvn-dp-plugin.sourceforge.net/site/plugin-info.html, but the documentation is scanty and I do not know if it will do what I need... Also, on the Maven mailinglist, I was suggested to use the Maven Assembly plugin for this. If that's also what you would sugest me - could you maybe send me your assembly settings and assembly descriptor? Thanks in advance, Peter
