You can take a look at the Cargo project or the various plugins that deploy to appservers, but usually there is a configuration management group in charge of deployment and you will have to follow their procedures in order to get anything deployed into production. Where I am now we're looking at improving the automation of deployment, but probably more in a "pull" model. The Maven repo has a nice standard structure so it's easy to construct urls if you know the groupId, the artifactId and the version number. So rather than try to have Maven deploy things, it's more likely that we'll "notify" another system or group of people, maybe provide a url, and have them pull what they need. -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
