Hi all, I'm learning Maven so we can replace our product's current build system with a Maven based one.
The current process involves pulling the source code from a SCM server (based on a specified checkpoint label), going through the typical build process yada yada, and then creating a series of Install Shield based installers for the various platforms that we support (Windows, several Unixes, etc). I have not come across any documentation (yet) that discusses this stage. The default Maven lifecycle seems to take the project through to the point where the artifacts are deployed to a repository. Is there a best practice for what happens to them from that point on? Or is this out of the scope of Maven? In our current corporate business processes, we need to generate installation binaries very frequently (unfortunately). So it's ideal that this function be integrated into the same build process somehow. I look forward to any suggestions, Thanks DaveC
