Thanks for your help. I kept seeing the assembly file referenced, but
nothing too much on where it should be.
Here's my Assembly file:
assembly>
<id>bin</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
</formats>
<baseDirectory>${artifactId}-${version}</baseDirectory>
<includeSiteDirectory>false</includeSiteDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
<unpack>false</unpack>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/bin</directory>
<outputDirectory>bin</outputDirectory>
<lineEnding>lf</lineEnding>
<fileMode>0755</fileMode>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/conf</directory>
<outputDirectory>conf</outputDirectory>
<lineEnding>lf</lineEnding>
<fileMode>0644</fileMode>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
Originally, I tried to create a src/main/instance directory, and any
files in that directory would be included in the root of the tar.gz
file. However, it kept putting them under src/main/conf/instance in
the tarball instead of in the root. I finally just defined two
separate filesets. I don't know if I need the <include>**</include>
line because this is the default, but it works.
There are two issues I am having:
1). In the tarball, the "lib" directory is owned by build/user, but
the bin and conf directory is owned by 0/0. Is there a way to set
this? I didn't see anything in the Assembly settings.
2). My boss wants to know why is the assembly file called bin.xml. I
told him because the assembly file is a "bin" type, and you name the
assembly file after the assembly type. He wants to see documentation
to this effect. Is there such documentation? I know you can call your
assembly file anything you want, but if this is the Maven standard, I
want to stick with it.
