Hi,

I have set up this kind of project by using Multi-module project; packages are built with the assembly plugin. The thing is that I have two main branches in my multi-module project: 1) for all the jars of code: this branch configures all the general presets for all jars of the application. 2) for all the different packages I want to create: this branch configures all the general presets for all packages I want to have.

The Maven project structure looks like this:

Root
\---JARS
|   \---Core
|   \---Component A (Deps: Core)
|   \---Component B (Deps: Core)
|   \--- ...
\---PACKAGES
    \--- PACKAGE 1 (Deps: Component A, Component B)
    \--- PACKAGE 2 (Deps: Component B, Component ...)
    \--- ...

In the pom of PACKAGES, I have attached the maven assembly plugin to the build process (e.g. attached to the "package" phase). In each packages, I declare the "correct" dependencies that needs to be embedded in each package. The key for you will be to create a proper assembly descriptor file.

Then if I use ´mvn clean install´ on the root pom and it builds all jars and then all packages. The bonus I get from such configuration is that I can use the "Package" pom's to create "Launch configurations" in development and I am then sure that it matches exactly what will be in each different package.

Hello, guys!
We have a project consisting of a main module (we call it core) and several
configurable plugin modules (we call it component). By the application
design each module is highly customizable and depends on one or more
configuration files. When the application starts the "conf" folder is
scanned and application configuration is constructed from all conf-files
located in that folder. Depending on the usage scenario several combinations
of configuration files may be used

The basic aim we want to achieve is:
1) Have all possible configuration files stored in some folder of a module,
e.g. for component A we have Aconf1.xml, Aconf2.xml and for component B
Bconf1.xml and Bconf2.xml
2) For each target usage scenario we want to predefine a set of
configuration files in a pom file that will build a distribution. E.g. for
Scenario1 we should use Aconf1.xml and Bconf2.xml, but for Scenario2 we
should use Aconf2.xml and Bconf1.xml
3) The resulting layout should look like ./lib - all *.jar files (core and
components used) and ./conf - subset of configuration files specified in a
distribution pom file.

Can you suggest how this goal can be achieved with maven and distribution or
assembly plugin?
