Hi all,
I'm experimenting with the Unix plug-in and as a test I want to package
up an application and all its dependencies into an rpm.
If I look at the examples it seems I have to list each jar I want in the
rpm by hand which is likely to be error prone.
What is the recommended way of getting all runtime dependencies included?
My current thinking is to create a tar.gz in a separate module using the
dependency plug-in and the assembler and depend on that and use an
extract inside the rpm.
However this seems like a kludge - so I'm wondering if there is a better
way.
I would recommend using the appassembler[1] plugin to assemble the set
of JARs and to generate the shell scripts required to create the
CLASSPATH and launch the application. For a practical example see the
unix-from-jar-project integration test [2].

The plugin was released in a 1.0 version just today so you might want to
upgrade the version used in the integration test.
