You probably want to read http://www.nabble.com/What-is-the-Best-practice-for-generating-variations-of-an-artifacts--tf3414040s177.html
I'm still confused over your build environment. Maven has one artifact per pom. When you release your artifact it should be reproducible. But having to select a bunch of profiles makes it un-reproducible. If selecting different profiles produces a different build, then each of these different builds should be stored in a repository somewhere, otherwise it is not reproducable. If you bundle this all together then yes this chews up disk space. Why can't you have the base build (huge) plus the variations (small) and then a process outside maven which merges the variations into the base during the deployment steps? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
