Hello Julien,
In your ncsetup.nsi, how do you reference the artifacts to be
included with the .exe build?
thanks,

Hello,
I have a module where I would like to take the artifacts producted
by a few other modules and combine them into an .EXE using NSIS. I see
that there is a nsis for maven 1.x, but I don't see anything for 2.x?
Anyone done this before care to explain how they accomplished it?
Basically would like to have everything I need for NSIS in this module
(other files, readme, configuration, etc) and then have it grab
dependencies from other modules include it in NSIS and generate EXE.
Ultimately I'd like to deploy this .exe to archiva.
Hi,
Funny..., this morning, a guy on the maven irc just told me that a nsis
plugin (1) exists for maven 2.
today I use :
assembly plugin to download dependencies
maven exec (2) to run NSIS with some properties during package phase
and build-helper-maven-plugin to attach generated .deb to my artifact
(so that I can donwload the install from archiva (5))
but all these plugins could be replaced by a single call to that nsis
plugin. (see extract from my pom in (4))
I will give it a try next week (well I will try to find some time...)
1 : http://mojo.codehaus.org/nsis-maven-plugin/
2 : http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/introduction.html
3 : http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/howto.html
4 : http://pastie.org/616361 ( but I told you, that nsis plugin could
replace the exec+buildhelper part with a single (may be 4:=) ) line(s))
5: BTW, If you use Archiva, don't forget to add ".exe" extension to the
list of artifacts scanned in the repositories)
