I agree in 100%.
That's what I did in my version. For the people which were intersted in this
functinality:
I won't manage to push it to CVS before holidays (no time)
I pratically finshed zip plugin which pacakes all project resources into zip
files and merges the content of multiple zips (declared as dependencies_. I
just gave it to somebody for testing (I still have some problems with
resource filtering) and when I'll be sure that it works I can add it to CVS.
Anybody opposes to add this funcionality to RC3?
With this plugin I am able(will be able) to keep in local repositoriy zip
files which contains even such artifacts like JRE/JDKs, Java Service Wrapper
files
etc and only compose those artifacts for particual application.
(To Jason)I belive it will be easy to construct plexus runtime using this
techniue. Pratically no java nor jelly code is needed.
I mean just something like:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-runtime</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-startup-scripts-win32</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-jws-win32</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>jre</groupId>
<artifactId>jre</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
.....
</dependencies>
