Sounds like a case for a parent pom and associated child POMs. -K
I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out a plausible way to do
that with no success so far. Processing the ear in the existing
project generates n+1 artifacts when there are n app clients, and
there's no obvious way to get just one without running the entire
deployment process and throwing away everything except the one you
want. If you have an idea how to use this situation with multiple
projects I'd love to know more.

The fundamental problem we have is that we need to output several
different artifacts from a single maven project. Processing an ear
file that contains ee app clients results in one main artifact for
the
ear file and one artifact for each app client. Classifiers seem like
the closest way in maven to deal with this, but if you have another
suggestion we'll enthusiastically investigate it.

What you’re doing really should have separate artifacts, however if
classifier does what you want, go for it. Just remember you’re
slightly
outside the normal use case ;-)

Hi,
Yes, I agree classifier are meant for the same project. The
daytrader app clients are part of daytrader project, but with their
own module id. A user can choose to have a standalone app
client in
a .jar file. Or a user can choose to have an app client artifact
bundled in a .ear file. In the later case, a user would only
need
one deployment plan to deploy the .ear file onto the server, thus
it
is naturally for the user to think one would just need to run the
car-maven-plugin once to generate all the necessary plugin
artifacts.
It seems silly for us to recommend a user to run the car-maven-
plugin
three times for such an EAR project as daytrader. This is why we
think maybe classifier could be used here...
Thanks,
Lin

doesn't sound like that's the case here - the appclients are

Hi,
I need some advice to see if we could use classifier to solve a
prob
we have in Apache Geronimo.
We want to deploy our J2EE sample (called daytrader) onto
geronimo as
a geronimo plugin. The daytrader application contains
multiple
modules(one web module, one ejb module, 2 app clients module),
as most
of EAR projects do. The daytrader geronimo plugin is built
using
the car-maven-plugin that is developed at Geronimo.
Basically, what
the car-maven-plugin does is to generate the plugin metadata
file,
deploy the daytrader module using geronimo's deployers, package
all
the files into a plugin car file and install the car file into
the
maven repository. The plugin has one artifact id, called
daytrader.
Soon, we found out there is a prob here. If there is only one
artifact id, how can we start the app clients of daytrader?
Each app
client needs his own artifact id. We have only one maven
project
(which is daytrader here) but we really need 3 artifact ids.
I am wondering if it is possible to use classifier here.
Instead of
producing 1 artifact here, we produce the following artifacts,
for the
daytrader project:
daytrader-2.2.-snapshot.car
daytrader-2.2-snapshot-appclient1.car
daytrader-2.2-snapshot-appclient2.car
Thoughts?
