hi, is it possible to reuse plugins in that way that i can call them through a new plugin (composing plugins). that means define dependency in pom.xml to respective plugins and being able to call them with certain configurations inside a new developed custom plugin.
an alternative is to define a new parent pom.xml where chaining plugins could be done. but i want to avoid, that parent hierachies are getting to deep and too many parents exist. further more i would like to introduce a new pom packaging type (tomcat-axis2) which is as far i know only possible through a custom plugin. in current situation it is neccessary to chain 4-5 different plugins, which should "express themselves as one big one". the task is to deploy a built axis2 app on tomcat. following flow must be achieved: 1) calling assembly plugin for getting all dependencies and being able to express depedencySets through assembly descriptor 2) calling aar plugin to pack axis2 app (maybe mar plugin on top of that too). 3) calling war plugin to get a j2ee webapp (aar/mar inside) 4) calling tomcat plugin to deploy all stuff thanks for your thoughts. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/plugin-devlopment-to-compose-other-plugins-tf4535168s177.html#a12942607 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
