A while back we had some interesting discussions on using Maven, or
maven-like technology for deploying production software. I was wondering if
anything new has been happening since then.
Basically what I am hoping to see is a generic installer framework that
bootstraps deployment of a production system or service the way Maven
bootstraps a development environment.
Can anyone point me to anything happening on that front?
Cheers, Eric
My recollection of the conversation is that deployment is outside the
scope of Maven and there are other tools that approach this from a more
effective base functionality.
Maven works best at giving you 1 artifact for a project whereas
deployment needs to be able to generate a whole set of artifacts based
on configurations that include
- software artifacts
- configuration files
- branding
- documentation
- release notes
- license agreements
- installer
each of which may have to be customized for each client or each
deployment architecture(OS, database, etc.) or each deployment
environment(production, test, QA) .
