I had the same issue with schema files. I wanted to find a more elegant
solution using zip files or the assembly plugin, but all fell short of
what I really wanted. I got the job done with the following, but will be
watching this thread for a better solution.
I ...
a) packaged the reusable files into a jar artifact
b) unjar only the files I needed out of the artifact using the Ant unjar
task and maven-antrun-plugin.
It worked except referencing the assembly from within the Ant code was
not as clean as I'd like.
//declare dependency
<!-- get a copy of the ddl -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<unjar
dest="${basedir}/target/schema"
overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${user.home}/.m2/repository">
<include name="**/schemaBook-${pom.version}*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<patternset>
<include name="**/*.ddl"/>
</patternset>
</unjar>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Hi,
I'm having the following problem which I don't know how to handle in
Maven:
I have some jar projects which are/can being used by different war
projects,
no problem here.
The problem is that is have a jar project (not war), which also has some
related common resources (like eg html/jsp files). Those resources (that
are related to that jar project) should be injected in the root of the
war
project at assembly ("package" goal in Maven). I figured that I could
package those common resources in a seperate project as a zip, still I
don't
know if this is possible and how it should be done? Then I also
wonder how
that zip could be extracted into the root of that war project at
assembly?
Maybe I'm working completely wrong in Maven?
To repeat:
1. I have a common jar project which can be used by differnt kinds of war
projects (no surprise here).
2. I have a common resources projects containing html and jsp files
which will be used by different war projects if they use the above
mentioned
jar project.
How do I integrate this with Maven?
Kind regards,
David
