There are two ways to configure the assembly plugin - one uses "predefined" descriptors, the other lets you specify specific instructions in a descriptor of your own that you point to - use the parameter <descriptors> instead of <descriptorRefs>. Then write your own assembly descriptor. See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html for instructions on how to do this. You'll see an element <formats> where you can specify the tar and zip formats. > 2) How to I tell the maven-assembly-plugin that I want the jar files > zipped up without the contents being extracted and zipped as > individual classes? In the custom assembly descriptor you make, you can control this using the <unpack> option, see the details in the above documentation. For a book chapter on how to do all kinds of things with assemblies, see: http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/assemblies.html -Marshall Schor > > I have built a test pom shown below. > Since it has > <descriptorRef> > jar-with-dependencies > </descriptorRef> > it restructures the internal jar contents rather than creating a tar > of jar files. > > I did find a nice article from Sonatype but these questions remain. > Ron > > > > <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; > xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 > http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> > <parent> > <groupId>com.artifact_software.lms</groupId> > <artifactId>lms-pom-master</artifactId> > <version>1.8.3-SNAPSHOT</version> > </parent> > > <groupId>com.artifact_software.lms</groupId> > <artifactId>lms-deployment-jars</artifactId> > <version>1.8.3-SNAPSHOT</version> > <packaging>pom</packaging> > <description>Artifact LMS Portal Shared Library Archive > builder.</description> > > <name>lms-deploymentjars</name> > > <properties> > <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> > </properties> > > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>com.artifact_software.lms</groupId> > <artifactId>lms-pom-spring-hibernate-mysql-tomcat</artifactId> > <version>${lms-project.version}</version> > <type>pom</type> > </dependency> > <dependency> > <groupId>com.artifact_software.lms</groupId> > <artifactId>lms-pom-jsf</artifactId> > <version>${lms-project.version}</version> > <type>pom</type> > </dependency> > </dependencies> > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.2-beta-2</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <id>create-jar-deployment-archive</id> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>single</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > <descriptorRefs> > <descriptorRef> > jar-with-dependencies > </descriptorRef> > </descriptorRefs> > </configuration> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > > </project> > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
