I’m currently using jdeb to create debian packages. I use the assembly plugin to create a dependency set of .jars, then I use jdeb to package everything together.
The problem is that it’s a HUGE chunk of boilerplate that I have to keep copying. We have about 10 daemons right now in a micro services environment so it’s becoming onerous. I tried to create a parent pom to inherit from but that doesn’t seem to work as the assembly there doesn’t have a dependency set since the parent doesn’t have any dependencies. Is there a better way to go about this. Using .dpkg is way easier in our environment. -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
