Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6454:
--------------------------------------------
I suspect we need a full proposal for multi-release jar handling first.
> Introduce option to allow non-pom packaging types to also support the
> modules-tag
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-6454
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6454
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
> Labels: intern, multirelease
>
> While working on the multirelease jars I noticed we're missing a feature in
> Maven. At JCrete after talking with [~sanne] he had a similar request for a
> different reason. In his case it is about having a jar where all Drivers are
> optional, so developers only have to add this jar. However, it would be great
> it code could be isolated per Driver.
> The idea is to allow packaging:jar to specify modules in the pom. These
> submodules follow the normal lifecycle, but are never installed or deployed.
> Instead the root-project will embed these files in the main jar.
> To support this, Maven first of all recognize if modules are allowed for a
> specific packaging type. The
> {{org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler}} looks close, but that
> should be about artifacts (dependencies). So most likely we need a new
> ProjectHandler here.
