IMO this is not the way how we should solve extensibility of the functionality
currently within the rave-portal module.
Producing multiple artifacts from a single Maven module (pom) is a bad pattern
in general, as additional artifacts won't have any meta-data context attached.
For example, this additional rave-portal jar artifact from the rave-portal war
pom won't have any transitive dependencies meta-data, nor will you have (from
maven) any "reference" back to its source origin, etc.
I think that if we want to be able to make the functionality within rave-portal
extendable/customizable, we better start factoring these out into real
"component" or "service" modules.
And add and isolate interfaces and APIs so they can become "pluggable" by
themselves.
The rave-commons module already represents one type of such modularization, but
I think we'll need to go much further.
My proposal would be to create a new rave pom module called something like
"rave-components" or "rave-services" and
a) move rave-commons under it as a sub module
b) initiate a new sub module (rave-security?) isolating the functionality
currently within rave-portal to be extended upon like by the science-gateway in
the sandbox
WDYT?

The maven install for rave-portal should create a jar as well as a war and

Reporter: Marlon Pierce
Extension codes not in rave-portal src tree will need to be able to compile
against that code. This can be done by modifying rave-portal/pom.xml so that
it makes both a war and a jar and installs both in the local repository. The
extension code should then have the appropriate dependency in its pom.xml
