Hi, We are moving our build system from ant to maven. We have some components that contains some Java classes and some shell scripts. Our ant-build system compiles the Java classes and then generates a .tar.gz containing the shell scripts and the Java classes. So we now want to do the same with Maven.
We have started to write our pom.xml by defining the packaging as POM and by writing an assembly description to produce the tar.gz. Our problem is that the Java classes are not compiled anymore (because setting the packaging to pom starts at the pahse "package"). I've tried to explicitly execute the maven-compiler-plugin to compile the Java classes but without success. Any ideas on how to achieve this with Maven ? Laurent
