IMHO, Maven is a software build tool and trying to make it a
installation tool is much too hard.
You might find that your life will be a lot easier with IzPack as the
tool to create your installer.
It will allow you to package up your maven artifacts with other
resources into different OS-specific installers that can be distributed
easily.
It supports install time execution of your procedures so that you can
start RED-5 or execute the flex processes required to build and install
the Flash assets.

Hello Baptiste,
Thanks for your quick reply!
Red5-server is "custom tomcat" (zip/tgz with scripts, libraries, configs
etc.).
We need to pack it in our distribution, not sure if it can be done "Maven
way" :(
2) tgz contains flex based Flash compiler with all necessary libraries and
binaries necessary to build Flash part of our application.

IIUC, your project openmeetings depends on red5 libraries.
About your questions:
1) Not actually a Maven issue, but you seem to think the way to go it to
build that dependency. As the project is ASLv2, you would far better make
sure/ask it be uploaded to Maven Central. Then just just the <dependency>
in a normal way/
Maven is actually very straightforward if you follow the Maven Way (yeah,
sounds like a sect somehow, you may think ;-)).
2) Once again, what does contain that tgz? If it contains jars and so on,
then forget about downloading and decompressing it during your buil. Or
you're gonna a world of despair. Just upload those libs under some sensible
coordinates in a corporate (or better, in Maven Central if the project is
OSS), and add the dependency.
Please ask more questions/give more precisions if you want more precise
help.

Hello All,
I'm new to maven and not very familiar with all its plugins.
I need to move project [1] from ant+ivy to maven
The problems are:
1) this project is build on top of [2] maven project (we need the exact
structure and all libraries from this project) *[first problem: i don't
know how to do it]*
I did it using ant as follows:
a) using SVN download the project sources
b) build it using maven
c) unpack artifact and use it's structure in my build
Currently this project was moved to git and I was hoping it will be
possible to using maven scm:git for this, not sure how :(
2) this project need to download tgz file with required framework,
extract
it somewhere and use extracted file to perform the build *[second
problem:
is this possible?]*
Any help is highly appreciated
