Re: Upload arbitrary directories to maven repositories
if your components are packaged as jar files hm, jars are java archives so I feel better if components containing sql-files and shell-scripts are compressed in rar files ..to a source control system.. SCS and ant are used to create the deliveries shown in the picture, and these deliveries are plugged together in a projectbuild. But this projectbuild may take place anywhere in the world in any intranet. So svn or git is no option for that. And we do not know what the end result will be, eg application.xml may contain 20 or 80 ejb-jars What is it about the file server that prompts you to want to change? the enduser can get a compressed fileserver structure or a compressed maven repository. Both will work, only the access is different: .m2\repository\com\org\BusinessComponent\xy0032_8a\BusinessComponent-xy0032_8a-assembly.rar .m2\repository\com\org\UIComponent\xy0024_9a\UIComponent-xy0024_9a-assembly.rar If someone says maven is not thought to be used in that way, he may be right. ant recommends not to use if-statements, but who cares, so why not Burkhard -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Upload-arbitrary-directories-to-maven-repositories-tp5743526p5744376.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: Upload arbitrary directories to maven repositories
Maven might be a good solution if your components are packaged as jar files and your build just pulled in the right jar files. If you are pulling in source code and building, then your alternatives to a file server might range from a CMS or database to a source control system like svn or git or. What is it about the file server that prompts you to want to change?

I am coming from ant and I have no knowledge of how maven works. By default, maven is much more restrictive than ant, and I have to get used to it. Again, You have not answered the question: What are you attempting to do? It is very hard to second guess someone else. You are probably only getting half the good advice you require because we don't know what you are doing. Maven is restrictive _for a reason_, the Maven Way is what is considered best practice. As you will find looking through other emails, when you stray from this path you will fight Maven, and lose. It is a lot easier to change your ideas and follow the Maven Way instead and get on with the interesting stuff of writing code for your product.

It could have been documented, that directories cannot be uploaded. This is assumed knowledge of how maven works. Maven Repositories hold single artifacts - a directory is not such a thing (unless you wanted an empty directory) The console output should clearly indicate that a directory assembly will not be uploaded to the repository. Think of the directory assembly as a shortcut for you so that you do not need to un-archive the artifact before using it locally after a build has completed. 4. The archiving of the directory could have be done under the hood like with javadoc No, There are other assembly types for this purpose. 5. I am not happy with large poms and if you add zip/unzip commands the pom grows. I can find no suggestion of zip/unzip in this email thread. What exactly is your problem? As the pom size does not grow in any substantial way. You write everything for assembly in the assembly descriptor. 6. The suggestion of using the wagon-plugin may help. I will try it. But if I know that there is no other way, I can live with it. Many thanks again for your quick and valuable responses. p.s. you have not answered my question: Why do you want to upload an arbitrary directory? You are being given without knowing what you are attempting to do and there may be a simpler option. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: Upload arbitrary directories to maven repositories
Would you not include them in a jar or assembly and upload that?

Re: Upload arbitrary directories to maven repositories
And you might want to answer: Why do you want to upload an arbitrary directory? You are probably straying from the Maven path doing this. You should be thinking in terms of artifacts generated by your projects.
