Hi Dave,
I did such things for Maven 1 though
+) building an installer was an independent project using a POM to pull
in the artifacts used for the installer and production set of
configuration files
+) I used one executable JAR containing all dependencies as input for
the installer
+) I had some additional obfuscation step for the executable JAR
+) my installer was triggered through ANT using install4j to build
installers for Windows, Linux and MacOS 10.x (without making
advertisment it worked quite well)
+) In Maven2 land the build-helper-maven-plugin might help you the
upload the results in to repo
Cheers

I now need to go beyond creating jars/wars with maven2; I need to create
an installer for my application.
What is the current state of this with maven? Where are the links that
can show me options of how to do this? I have found the assembly
plugin, but it seems quite limited (and it doesn't seem to fit within
the maven goals pattern). For example it can bundle stuff locally but
how do I publish this to a server? What if I want a Windows or
cross-platform installer that can install Java, etc?
Also, how can I incorporate this within the normal maven process of
releasing an application?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
