Hi
I need to deploy a couple of jars to G:s SharedLib in a special
purpose server assembly build.
Is it possible to do this using maven directives or a descriptor
directive in a plan? I guess using the maven antrun plugin could do
the trick but is there a cleaner G:way to do it ?
Anny pointers on how to accomplish this will be greatly appreciated.
I hope you can find a way to not need the shared-lib :-)
Yes I would very much like that to ;) The problem I am facing in my
Geronimo Liferay assembly is actually how to get portlets wrapped as
Geronimo plugins in the same class loader as the liferay jars.
The approach I have used so far has been to put the portlet plugin in
var/liferay/deploy (in G) which I have configured for liferay to scan
and preprocess berfore handling it over for hot deployment into G:s
/deploy dir (this is basically the same way the G liferay bundle is
handling it). Geronimo is then picking up the portlet jar plugin (by hot
deployment) and installs it as a system module in Geronimo and
everything looks great .... until you check things out in Liferay :)
then you will find out by looking into the "Update manager" admin tool
that your portlet has the status of "Installation in progress" ...
forever ;( well at least liferay knows about the portlet.
I have played around with dependency settings in the portlets
geronimo-web.xml file but with no luck in getting past the "Installation
in progress" problem.

I think you could pack the jar files inside one of your plugins and
use an copy-file element in the geronimo-plugin.xml to get them copied
into shared-lib. You'll still have 2 copies of the jars -- the ones
in the original plugin won't be erased.
