Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
Okay - I just realised something - maybe what I'm trying to do is wrong here... do I really want an ear file instead?

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
Depends entirely on what you're building... Do you want an EAR (for J2EE app) or a JAR (for various other types of apps)?

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
Looking at it now, I think what I want is a JAR not an EAR. I have a stand alone app that is fired from cron.

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
Yes, it sounds like you want a Jar... Search the user list for assembly plugin plus jar-with-dependencies parameter.

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
Not to ask a stupid question, but why should I have to use a plugin for this? This is standard functionality that many projects require. Shouldn't this be part of the standard maven goals?

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
ok - but there are standard plugins (I assume defined in the super pom), and plugins that have to be detailed in the project's pom.xml. This is functionality that really should be in a standard plugin Alex On 7/30/06, Mike Perham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maven has no standard goals. _Everything_ is a plugin. -Original Message- From: Alex Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 5:54 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Including dependencies in final JAR Not to ask a stupid question, but why should I have to use a plugin for this?

Shouldn't this be part of the standard maven goals? If you have a standalone app then you probably want to create an binary assembly that would include your jar file (with correct Class-Path in the Manifest file), any dependent libraries, and config files, any documentation. To do this you will want to use the http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin Search the archives, there should be plenty of examples on this. I tend not to use the built in descriptors as I find they don't meet my needs. It is very easy to write your assembly descriptors. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Including dependencies in final JAR
Standard plugins just use a naming convention so they don't need to hard-coded anywhere. The assembly plugin is a standard plugin. -Original Message- From: Alex Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 8:48 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Including dependencies in final JAR ok - but there are standard plugins (I assume defined in the super pom), and plugins that have to be detailed in the project's pom.xml.

Re: Including dependencies in final JAR
A list of goals isn't really much of an 'about' the plugin. It would be more usefull to describe what the plugin can do and provide tutorials... (I'm in the process of getting sorted out with a confluence id etc... I'll be happy to help write some docs). Alex.

Err, Did you check the Overview section on the left? It reads: * Introduction * How to Use * Examples * Descriptor Format * Predefined Descriptors Admittedly the docs are sometimes thin and assembly could use a bit more in some places, but there is enough there to get started on. It's only when you want to do more advanced things that you will need more help and search on the archives to find it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
