Jesse Glick commented on MNBMODULE-155:
---------------------------------------
To {{dev@mojo.codehaus.org}} I guess you mean. Sorry, I read this only on
occasion; filing issues in this component is more reliable.
Do not like parameters of type {{String}} which refer to files, such as
{{appIcon}}; these should be of type {{File}}, in which case
http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html#Files_and_Directories
states that relative paths will be resolved by Maven itself.
Copying installer sources from a NB release into the plugin is not
maintainable. Will need to find some way to include
{{org-netbeans-libs-nbi-ant}} and/or {{org-netbeans-libs-nbi-engine}} from a
named release.
> Build installers goal
> ---------------------
>
> Key: MNBMODULE-155
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNBMODULE-155
> Project: Maven NetBeans Module Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.6
> Reporter: Frantisek Mantlik
> Assignee: Jesse Glick
> Attachments: nbm-installers-plugin.zip
>
>
> 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.
