IMO, what you are doing sounds reasonable. Could you use Ant instead of Perl to deploy on the target machine? If so, you could wrap your Ant script up with the maven-antrun-plugin. You also might look at the Cargo plugin (http://cargo.codehaus.org) if your project is deployed to a container.

I am using "mvn assembly:assembly deploy" command to upload my distribution to the repository. After that, to deploy it on the target machine, I use a simple Perl script that downloads the assembly using http and then unpacks it. Seems that this is pretty convenient thing, and my distributions are under maven control, with names, versions, etc. I had a discussion with my colleague, and he says that this usage of Maven may be not appropriate, that Maven should be used for libraries and not for executable packages. I would like to hear what maven community thinks about this. Another question: is there a way to download and unpack the assembly using Maven? This would be more organized way for deployment. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Assembly-deployment-tf3559994s177.html#a9941672 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
