Hi,
I've just started using the appassembler-maven-plugin and really
appreciate its capabilities. Thanks to all who have contributed.
I have some applications that expect file/directory paths as cmdline
arguments. Relative paths fail with the scripts generated by
appassembler-maven-plugin v1.0-alpha-2, because the current directory is
changed to the BASEDIR - i.e. the parent of the location of the script -
before invoking the JVM.
Looking at the current trunk versions of the
appassembler-maven-plugin/resources/.../script/*BinTemplate files, and
according to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-565 , this has been fixed.
Is there a release schedule for appassembler-maven-plugin? (I assume
not, as these things tend to go...)
Here's my (totally, like, non-binding) +1 for releasing v1.0-alpha-3.
We've been meaning to do the alpha-3 release for a while before we start
working on the new stuff that we want to put in it. Currently and for
the next two weeks I will be too busy at work to check it and publish a
release but if some other comitter is using the plugin, feel free to
test it (there is a serious need for unit tests) and put it out for a
vote. IIRC there is only one show stopper right now: MOJO-806.
I can see from JIRA and fisheye that there are other new capabilities
being baked in, and I'd be cool with waiting until these stabilize, of
course. Is there anything I can do to help?
Implement them :) The problem right now is that we haven't written down
our ideas so it can be kinda hard to do it the way we want to do it.
Separate question: why are the script templates located under "daemon"
in the resources/ directory? Although they could be used that way, I
suppose, there is nothing about the generated scripts that requires that
they be run as daemons (i.e., processes that run in the background and
can live beyond their parent process's lifespan).
I can't remember the specific reason, but probably related to the fact
that it did start as a daemon thing once upon the time. I'll take a look
the next time I'm working on it.
