Karl Heinz Marbaise closed MASSEMBLY-566. ----------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix > Request for additional Pre-defined Descriptors > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-566 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-566 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: predefined descriptors > Affects Versions: 2.2.1 > Environment: N/A > Reporter: Harrouchy Jamal > Priority: Minor > Attachments: dep.xml > > > Hello, I love Maven and all of it's wonderful plug-ins like this one. > However, I think that the amount of configuration to do very common and > simple things, while flexible, is getting a bit out of hand in my honest > opinion. I'd like to see the assembly plugin have more pre-defined > descriptors for certain things. By doing so, I think it would help folks use > the assembly plugin to create artifacts easier without making mistakes which > require a great deal of time to resolve, as well as help with productivity > since you wouldn't have to troll through a lot of documentation, and web > resources, to do something which should be very simple to setup. > Therefore, if you would be so kind :), I would like to see a pre-defined > descriptor for a jar in the format expected by a Hadoop for a Map Reduce > application. According to the book "Hadoop The Definitive Guide" by Tom > White, the jar should be structured as such: > Chapter 5: > "Also, any dependent JAR files should be packaged > in a lib subdirectory in the JAR file. (This is analogous to a Java Web > application > archive, or WAR file, except in that case the JAR files go in a WEB-INF/lib > subdirectory > in the WAR file.)" > It's a simple descriptor, which I have attached, but it would be a start to > help build out the pool of pre-defined descriptors to make it easier, and > more efficient, to create/manage maven projects. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
