I'm trying to package all of the compiled code of several modules into 1 jar
but I can't seem to figure out the assembly plugin. I tried including this in
my parent pom:
<build>
..
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
</plugin>
</build>
And executing this command line that I found on the maven site somewhere:
mvn assembly:assembly -DprojectModulesOnly=true -DdescriptorId=bin
However it tells me I need a descriptorId, which I specified. Plus "bin" isn't
really what I want, I just want a jar file of my code only, not any config
files or dependent jars.
As a side note, is there any task to run to update all maven plugins? When
working with this and my failed attempt at aggregating javadocs for my project
(looks like I am sticking with ant for that part) I had to specify a version so
maven could download the latest plugin. I guess somehow it was using a 1.0
plugin even though I thought the latest plugins would be in the distribution I
downloaded.
