Hi,
I've been trying to switch an existing build process from ant to maven
to become more familiar with maven. The project's final artifact is an
EAR that includes several other archives, which is why I went for a
multi-module setup where each archive is inside its own module.
Basically everything works fine, except for one module that gives me
headaches. One contained archive is a JBoss Hibernate archive (.har)
(basically a .jar with additional Hibernate resource files, which
JBoss deploys without further configuration). I'm using the
jboss-packaging-maven-plugin from org.codehaus.mojo to create the .har
and add the module as a dependency to all other modules that rely on
the contained classes.
The problem I had was that maven would change the filename extension
during install. The maintainer of the jboss-packaging-maven-plugin
kindly put me on track and provided me with updated patches to
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-449 . However, I fear that I'm
also suffering from http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1682 .
MNG-1682 basically states that custom artifact handlers don't work
with multi-module setups.
Can somebody give me some hints for a work-around? I have tried to
take the .har module out of its parent pom and install it as a
standalone module. Unfortunately it doesn't get added to the classpath
and makes compilation of the modules that depend on it fail.
Another idea I have considered is to build the .har as a .jar.
Building the problem should then be easy, except that I would have to
rename the artifact in the generated EAR. Is there an easy way to
rename the .jar to .har before or after it gets added to the EAR?
Any input welcome,
Erich
