I have access to a Jar-file that contains code that: - Reads an excel file containing a JQL query, the names of the fields from the JQL results to include in excel, as well as the sheets that are to be populated - Talks to Jira, using the Jira REST API, to do the query and extract the results - Exports a new excel file populated with the query results
The Jar-file resides in a plexus archive, so I thought that having a small maven project, containing a pom.xml and the template excel spreadshet in src/main/resources/ would be a good match. The idea was that I could: - set the Jar-file containing the excel export code as a dependency - use exec-maven-plugin to run the Jar - have the output of exec-maven-plugin (an excel file) as the build artifact But the idea stopped on that I don't know what packaging should be used for the pom: "jar" didn't seem appropriate, so I tried "pom", but that doesn't do anything (no target directory created). Is maven appropriate for what I'm trying to do? Is there an appropriate packaging to use?
