I'm trying to automate my normal file release process. Right now it
takes two assembly descriptors and three commands to accomplish. Not
too bad, but I'm wondering if there's a better way. If not, maybe
this use-case can be looked at for ways to improve the assembly
plugin.
The project is a mutli-project with two modules: a jar project and a
war project that is a sample web-app using the jar.
The goal is to produce a directory with the following files:
RELEASE NOTES.txt
OVERVIEW.txt
myapp-version.jar
myapp-version-javadoc.jar
myapp-version-sources.jar
mysampleapp-version.war
MultiProjectSource-version.zip
So, I know have a src/main/assembly in the parent project with two
descriptors. The first is a source descriptor, src.xml:
<assembly>
<id>src</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<includes>
<include>*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>.*</exclude>
<exclude>target</exclude>
</excludes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>src</directory>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>framework/src</directory>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>framework</directory>
<includes>
<include>*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>.*</exclude>
<exclude>target</exclude>
</excludes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>sample/src</directory>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>sample</directory>
<includes>
<include>*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>.*</exclude>
<exclude>target</exclude>
</excludes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
The second is release.xml:
<assembly>
<id>release</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<includes>
<include>RELEASE*</include>
<include>OVERVIEW*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.zip</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>framework/target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.jar</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>sample/target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.war</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
And, finally, I have a shell script that runs the following three commands:
mvn clean package javadoc:jar source:jar
mvn -Ddescriptor=src/main/assembly/src.xml assembly:assembly
mvn -Ddescriptor=src/main/assembly/release.xml assembly:directory
Any ideas on improvement, either in what I've done, or
planned/un-planned improvements in plugins?
