Hi Wendy,
With all due respect, having to build 3 separate projects, all within
a multi-project -- so 4 projects where there was once 1 -- certainly
doesn't seem to be in line w/ "keeping it simple". Especially when
all we want is some different packaging for the same raw classes/
resources. So I'll avoid that path if at all possible. I have always
found maven multi-projects somewhat problematic -- particularly when
generating sites, reports, etc.
Thanks for the pointer to the WAR plugin. Much appreciated. I'll take
a look.
Still what I find confusing is that the deploy plugin is aware of
SNAPSHOTs versus Releases -- and it chooses the URL dynamically from
distributionManagement -- so it seems that deploy-file could too??
Thanks,
-- Chris

The project has WAR packaging. But I need to supply a JAR and
TAR.GZ as
well.
It sounds like you are trying to do all this from a single module?
The general rule with Maven is 'one main artifact per pom.'
In this situation you'd have a multi-module project with one module
building a jar, another building the war, and a third building the
assembly, plus a parent pom to tie it all together.
With that setup, 'mvn install' and 'mvn deploy' will do what you want.
(That said, there is a new feature of the war plugin that will create
an attached artifact containing the classes [1]. And assemblies can
be combined with other modules, but I prefer to keep it all separate.)
