This sounds excellent. I can't wait until we can put it to the test for
Felix.

Hi all,
This is for those anxiously awaiting an installer. I think we have
something better than expected.
I'm almost done building a maven plugin which generates installers for
a project whose final product is a UNIX daemon or a Windows service
using jakarta commons daemon jsvc and procrun respectively. The
plugin will generate multiple installers when asked for a project.
We're using it already for ApacheDS and we have generalized it for any
server application. It should be ready right after the soon to arrive
1.0-RC1 release. The plugin has rough edges but we should be fine
making it work.
Here's the URL for it now. This might move over to the maven repo at
some point though (after I clean it up a bit):
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/trunks/daemon/
Here's what some generated installers look like using apacheds as an
example:
