archiver-maven-plugin?
Hi every one, I would like introduce archiver-maven-plugin. It is a cut down version of maven-assembly-plugin with the following functionalities. 1. Smaller feature scope - compression/archiving only 2. Descriptor's objects are exposed through plugin's configuration. This way, we can take advantage of expression processing provided by the POM. 3. Install and deploy are thru artifact attachments. 4. No direct DependencySet support, user can use dependency-maven-plugin instead. I am still struggling to decide if spinning this plugin off maven-assembly-plugin, is a good idea. However by cutting down feature scope, the plugin will be very stable in the long term. Suggestions? Thanks -Dan

I don't quite see the reasoning. - Brett - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think most user need is the capablity to assembly files and dendencies together. This is exactly archiver-maven-plugin provides ( exception the dependencies ). The maven-assembly-plugin has a rich set of features that I think It will take for ever to release. - Brett - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any how, I agree that It does not look right when there are 2 similar plugins. - Brett - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Agreed, I think the assembly plugin should be able to perform simple tasks as well and another plugin with similiar capabilities would just be confusing not to mention a maintenance problem. - Brett - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.

Re: archiver-maven-plugin?
Hi Brian, Assembly now can do that. Just bind assembly:attached mojo to package phase. However this feature is not fully functional yet. Please check JIRA. -Dan On 1/2/06, Brian E. Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can the assembly plugin take part in the normal lifecycle in the current release (in the past it couldn't)? As I see it, that is a stumbling block for a lot of people. If this can't or won't be changed, then spinning off some limited functionality into a separate mojo may make sense. -Original Message- From: dan tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 6:28 AM To: Maven Developers List Subject: Re: archiver-maven-plugin?
