Uber jar considered harmful?

2014-12-01 Thread Jeffrey E Care
I seem to recall a post in the not too distant past where is was at least implied (if not outwardly stated) that the use of uber jars was an anti-practice. Unfortunately I can't find it now and my google-fu is failing me. Am I making this up? Can anyone confirm my recollection? Is there a best

Configurable behavior on empty assemblies

2013-09-09 Thread Jeffrey E Care
I'm packaging my (multi-module) product using an assembly of assemblies approach for projects that have "extra" stuff that needs to be included in the distribution (i.e. other than their regular attached JAR). I'm having problems with inheriting the assembly plugin executions in cases where the

skinny WAR classpath includes timestamped entries for SNAPSHOT dependenencies

2013-08-02 Thread Jeffrey E Care
I have a large, multi-module project that includes WAR and EAR projects. We are using skinny WARs inside the EAR. I'm seeing a problem where the WAR manifest has timestamped classpath entries (e,g, research-jpa-1.0.0-20130802.22-177.jar) but the EAR contains SNAPSHOT files (e.g. research-jp

Logging listener

2013-05-20 Thread Jeffrey E Care
I'd like to write my own listener to Maven logging events, similar to Ant's "-listener" option. Is there any such function available in Maven? I googled around for it but didn't turn up anything. Jeffrey E. (Jeff) Care Advisory Software Engineer | IBM Watson Solutions Release Engineering email

Dependency mapping with the assembly plugin
