Hello, I'm asking for some help on implementing / improving this feature commonly used in my enterprise builds. Objective is to generate a specific traceability file, for modules generating tar.gz assembly, with the list of files contained in the tar.gz along with their checksum. Constraints are : solution must be implemented in only one module, and easy to customize/understand. Tar.gz assembly can come from predefined assembly (packaged in jar) or assembly.xml in module sources.
Idea already in place to implement this is as follow (simplified) : - Assembly:directory-single: generates tar.gz exploded as a folder - Antrun:run: generates file with list of checksums against exploded folder - Assembly:single: generates tar.gz included checksum file Problems are that : - Use of directory-single is deprecated, to avoid it I would need to either : o Use 2 formats in assemblies (dir + tar.gz) and execute them twice (using dir the first time and tar.gz the second time) --> performance issue ... ? o Create 2 distinct assemblies with a different format --> duplication issue, not user-friendly - It leads to quite complex plugins configurations where order is supremely important, and difficult to understand, and any subtle variation can make the whole thing fail ... Questions are : - Is there an easier and more maven-style way to achieve this need ? - I'd like to make this feature a plugin, but as it would need to be executed other more than one phase, I don't know how to proceed or where to start ... Thanks, Jeremie B.
