Thanks for the quicky reply Dan.
When you said "you can deploy multiple artifacts under one project", did
you
mean that that one project contains multiple modules?
I was following your advice from this earlier response:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg41540.html
...where you said that for my project-obfuscated-jar module, to "write
your
own plugin (or custom antrun) to scramble the project-jar".
But I'm thinking now that I don't need project-jar (with pom.xml) and
project-obfuscated-jar (with pom.xml) modules. I just need one project
with
one pom.xml and create multiple artifacts (using different classifier
types)
with my own plugin or the build-helper-maven-plugin. Do you agree?
Yes,
So you artifact should be something like this:
id-${version}.jar
id-${version}-obf.jar
If you write your own plugin to package to obfuscated jar, your can directly
attach that atifact to maven
( so that you need build-heler-maven-plugin to do that job)
no need to have multi modules

Maven 2 now allows artifact classifier type, ie you can deploy mulitple
artifacts under one project.
So I dont see why not apply to your use case since it is much simpler.
So you need a use antrun to do the obfuscation and use
build-helper-maven-plugin to help with deploy thru attach goal.
