So on that topic, is there good material that covers doing it right? I've read the sonatype maven book and while it's good as far as it goes, it doesn't really cover the intended workflows in various situations and the intent of various abstractions. Googling is kind of problematic because there is a lot of cargo cult information floating around. Is there a book of other material that truly goes through the intended way to deploy Maven in an organization, including not just stuff like "here's how you install nexus", but things like release management, the relationship between maven release management and VCS tagging, what to do about multiple branches of development, etc, etc. Suppose you want to build an eco-system of tens or hundreds of projects in an organization and deploy/build them scalably (in terms of administration/build costs) using maven in a clean and maintainable fashion without hacks or non-idiomatic mistakes. What material does one preferably read? -- / Peter Schuller - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

No plugin should be required; it's built-in (in 9.x, I'm not sure about earlier - probably since a long time). -- / Peter Schuller - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
maven-nar-plugin library loading - how to make use of native libraries opaque
Hello, I'm not sure I understand the intended usage of maven-nar-plugin, and after diving around in the source I'm not very much wiser. Given: * project C (junixsocket in this case) using maven-nar-plugin to build and deploy jar and nar artifacts * project B, depending on C * project A, depending on B I now want to simply declare that project A depends on B, and not have to worry about anything else. For example, I still want to be able to "java -jar XXX.jar" on an uber-jar produced by the maven-shade-plugin (or assembly, onejar, etc). I am aware that there are difficulties resulting from the fact that loadLibrary() cannot load an arbitrary library from a .jar file, and I'm aware that e.g. jna-posix solves this by unpacking to a temporary directory and loading the library by absolute path. With nar-plugin, once problem was that I never was able to make project A actually depend on the artifact (with the appropriate platform classifier) other than specifically configuring such a runtime dependency myself in the pom file. The second problem is that just making it depend on it won't solve the problem since somewhere, some code has to exist which jumps through hoops to enable the loading of the native library during runtime since putting the .nar file on the CLASSPATH won't make loadLibrary() be able to load the library. I was unable to find any code that seemed to do this in the nar-plugin, but perhaps I am missing it. Based on browsing the source, my current belief is that maven-nar-plugin is not really intended to address this use-case. Is that understanding correct, or am I just using it incorrectly? If nar-plugin is not suitable, does anyone have a suggestion as to a pre-existing plugin or other solution that is idiomatic/recommended within the Maven community? Additionally, if my understanding is correct, I do wonder what people normally do - i.e., what is the expected usage of nar-plugin in terms of running a built application (as opposed to developing a project with maven)?
