Maybe you sould try this http://www.pohlidame.cz/insolvencni-rejstrik/maven-unzip-plugin.html? 2009/8/5 David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 6:57 PM, Alexander the.malk...@gmail.com wrote: You could declare these documentaion as dependecy.

Do I need to have the techwriters zip up the documentation and download it into our Maven repository, and then when I do a build, download it, and unzip it? If they zip it and publish it to the repo yes...but they will probably do that using the assembly plugin like I showed in the blog...

Otherwise, I'll have to give our techwriters access to the repository, and let the developers know they have to coordinate the version numbering of the documentation in the pom.xml. Yes, that's what the dependency plugin does, it either copies the file or unpacks it. Maybe I am better off just using the antrun mojo to do the unzipping during the packing phase. The dependency plugin does the same thing without ant. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Exploding a ZIP in a resource directory
We have a series of HTML based help files that sit inside our src/main/resource/help directory. Right now, we store these files as html files, and everything is fine. The problem is that the people who build these files create the files in Microsoft Word, then use a PC program called Robohelp to generate them. Every time they generate the files, we get a completely different version of all HTML and GIFS no matter how small the change. We use Subversion, and each time we generate new help files, the people who maintain them basically delete the entire Subversion help tree, then re-add in the new set of files. This causes problems with our developers who now end up downloading and updating hundreds of files whenever the help changes. I would like to simply store these help files as a single zipfile in our source archive, and then unzip these files when I do a build. Is this possible in Maven? -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
