We are mixing several issues here though. 1. Ruel's attempt to replicate the build using maven was a question as to whether maven could handle a screwed up build structure. 2. Since this is not ideal and maven has an even stricter notion of a source tree/per artificat, should the build be restructured to more closely mirror this notion to remove the hacks Ruel used. 3. There are additional changes being discussed with regard to breaking up existing cvs modules and artifacts (common -> jboss-common.jar) to separate out projects like jbossxb which should be evolvoing indepedently of the app server. 4. svn blah blah.
The point I take from Adrian is that if we have to do something beyond what maven supports via an existing plugin, it needs to be encapsulated in a custom plugin. It cannot be ad hoc scripting in the build descriptors. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Ruel Loehr > Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 8:44 AM > To: jboss-development@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: Maven build and scripting was Re: [JBoss-dev] > RE: Ongoing build changes: was RE: [JBoss-dev] > OntheedgeoftheMavencliff > > In our current configuration, the jar plugin is not adequate. > For a given module, we need to build many artifacts (see the > build forum post > here): > > http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=39233 > 33#3923333 > > I spent some time looking at the assembly plugin as well, but > did not find it suitable for the following reasons. > > 1) It must be called manually.
