Re: downloading resources

What phase should I be doing this in to insure that they make it into the
bundle?

downloading resources

[Adam Crain]

Hi,

There are several external shared libraries available via http in tar.gz
files that I want to include in a jar.

I do not want to check these files into my scm.

How do I get maven to

1) Check if they are already present, and if not
2) Download the tarball
3) Uncompress it to my projects src/main/resources folder

(I'm distributing shared libraries this way because it's an OSGi bundle that
uses JNI libraries)

Any advice on combinations of plugins to use?

dynamic properties and lifecycle question

[Adam Crain]

Hi,

I'm new to maven plugins/lifecycle issues.

I have a dependency that has a classifier that depends on the platform it is
running on (jar contains .so or .dll). I am using a plugin I write to set a
property for the classifier (by asking for OS/architecture/etc).

The plugin works, but it's not running before the classifier is resolved in
the dependency list. The phase "initialize" is described as the time to:

"initialize build state, e.g. set properties or create directories."

What am I missing? It's not really doing anything different then the
"maven-properties-plugin"
that loads properties from a file. Here's a neutralized version of my POM
with relevant sections:



  


  
PLUGIN_GROUP_ID
PLUGIN_ARTIFACT_ID
0.9-SNAPSHOT

  
 initialize 

  properties

  

  
  
  


  ART_GROUP_ID
  ART_ID
  0.9.2
  ${platform.id}



thanks!
Adam
