You could use the exec-maven-plugin on codehaus, or even the app-assembler.
-----Original Message----- From: Cole, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 4:06 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Maven Development Process I see how to use the assembly plugin to create my final artifact. However, I am missing something. We develop a server that allows other groups to write deployable components which can be deployed therein. Since this is a standalone application, I have not seen anything that explains the expected process for development time. For example, during development, we will write code, launch the server, debug, rinse and repeat. However, it looks like there is no documentation that explains how this is supposed to be done in the maven environment. Everything is geared toward deployable artifacts such as wars and ears. Are we expected to use the assembly plugin and use the directory tasks to create the dev application image? I don't want to create a zip and expand it everytime I need to make a change. What is the standard way to do this? Thanks! Rick NOTICE: This E-mail may contain confidential information.
