You can used assembly:attached and bind it to a phase to get the artifact deployed. I do this a lot and just use pom as the packaging type.

Hi Dave, I did such things for Maven 1 though +) building an installer was an independent project using a POM to pull in the artifacts used for the installer and production set of configuration files +) I used one executable JAR containing all dependencies as input for the installer +) I had some additional obfuscation step for the executable JAR +) my installer was triggered through ANT using install4j to build installers for Windows, Linux and MacOS 10.x (without making advertisment it worked quite well) +) In Maven2 land the build-helper-maven-plugin might help you the upload the results in to repo Cheers Siegfried Goeschl Dave Hoffer wrote: > I now need to go beyond creating jars/wars with maven2; I need to create > an installer for my application. > > What is the current state of this with maven?
