Hi, I have an EAR file (containing several modules and other dependencies) from an external source that I want to integrate into my Maven based build system.
The EAR file and its contents are built by an ANT based build system and some of the artefacts do not comply with the Maven filenaming conventions ( i.e. they do not contain version numbers). I have installed all the binaries in our own repository and created POMs for them containing the (runtime) dependencies mentioned in the manifest classpath. But now the classpaths in the manifest files are incorrect because they do not contain version numbers. What I want to do is roughly the following: - use dependency:unpack to unpack the archive - skip compile phase and let Maven complete the build of the artefact including generation of a correct manifest based on the POM that I installed in the repository - repackage Question then is; is this the correct way to go about it and how can I accomplish this? Regards, Harry Klerks
