Ioan Eugen Stan commented on JAMES-3261:
----------------------------------------

Gradle makes these distributions quite easy to build. 
If you are not in a hurry, could we defer this for a couple of days / weeks? 
I would like to avoid too many changes to the pom structure / dependencies - it 
will make an eventual migration to gradle a bit tedious.

> Today, a user wishing to run a Guice server needs either to compile it 
> himself, or run it via docker.
> Given that (1) we do not expect operators to compile James source code and 
> given (2) the docker images are so far only built and distributed by some 
> external suppliers, the operators cannot run the guice servers in a vendor 
> indepandant way.
> As such, in order to promote guice servers adoption, we need to build a ZIP 
> distribution for them. This ZIP distribution would then be built upon the 
> release and easily uploaded on the website.
> The maven-assembly-plugin can be leveraged to reach that goal.
> Docker distributions would then reuse this ZIP in order to build the 
> resulting image. Note that sample configuration will then be centralized to 
> the APP maven project.
