Hi, I have a typical war webapp which I deploy to tomcat. At the same time I have the typical static content (images, js, css) that needs to go to my webservers. It is easy enough to exclude the static content from my war, but I would like to zip up the static content and also deploy it to my repos as a separate artifact. Both attached to a phase and as an independent command, would be optimal, because we often update static content without needing to deploy the app.
I have read some older postings about using assemblies (I have not used this plugin before) and the maven-zip-plugin, as both a standalone archetype and a build-plugin. Unfortunately, I am unsure which applies to my use case. I suppose I could also just use an ant task, as well. I was just wondering if anyone has done this and what is the best approach. Thanks, James
