-------------------------------------------
Summary: Build installers goal proposal
Key: MNBMODULE-155
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNBMODULE-155
Project: Maven NetBeans Module Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Frantisek Mantlik
Assignee: Jesse Glick
Priority: Minor
The proposal is to add a new goal which will provide similar functionality to
"Build installers" action in IDE for mavenized RCP projects as a maven goal.
I have developed a standalone plugin based on Ant-maven-plugin functionality
which wrapped installer provided with Netbeans 6.9.1 and with minimum tweaking
(mainly allowing some basic branding of generated installer) run an Ant task
compiling and generating installers in the project application artifact. It is
working for me on several mavenized RCP projects without any changes needed up
to 7.1 RC1.
I was trying to offer my plugin to Codehaus, but there was no interest - maybe
because my advertisement was not good. I guess, that it should not be difficult
to extract the goal from my plugin and integrate it to the nbm-maven-plugin as
a new goal.
Maybe, there would exist even easier way how to implement the same
functionality to the nbm-maven-plugin?
If there is interest in such a new feature, I could promise to do my best
helping with development of the new goal. I am about to put one of my RCP
projects to open-source domain and such a publicly available function would be
helpful to it.
