Add deploy-dir goal
-------------------
Key: MDEPLOY-128
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEPLOY-128
Project: Maven 2.x Deploy Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.6
Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
Attachments: deploy-dir-mojo.patch
The attached patch introduces a deploy-dir Mojo, which basically works just
like the site plugins site-deploy mojo, except that it is configured manually
(like deploy-file) and not from within the POM.
My personal use case is as follows: I've got an Eclipse update site, which is
built with Tycho. However, Tycho doesn't allow me to deploy the created update
site. Deploying this update site currently requires the antrun plugin, or
similar mechanisms, which completely circumvent Wagon and all these things,
which are already built into Maven. In particular, I can't use the
authentication, which is configured anyways, because the host carrying my
update site is (surprise!) the same host, which carries my repository and my
deployed site and everything is deployed using SFTP anyways.
Rather than building this into Tycho, I choosed a more generic approach, as I
believe that my requirement might be useful for other purposes as well.
The patch includes a test case based on the plugin-testing-harness.
The patch borrows heavily from site:site-deploy. I won't comment, whether this
makes sense or not. I am ready to refactor the patch, should that be required.
However, I'd like to have something like a basic "Ok", before doing this
additional work.
