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
