Hello all, I'm working on a project where we need to build SIP archives (sar files). sar files have exactly the same layout as war files, with the addition of sip.xml file inside the WEB-INF directory. Of course, SIP archives have the .sar extension. I looked around and found no maven plugin to do such a task, so I was thinking of creating one myself. Looking around the documentation, I was able to create a simple plugin to build sar files. However, using the plugin was not as transparent as I would like. I had to invoke a specific goal for the plugin to build the archive, and the plugin didn't work seamlessly with traditional "install" goal. Hopefully, using the plugin would be as simple as specifying <packaging>sar</packaing> in a pom file.
So my question is this: do I have to implement a specific archiver to accomplish such a goal (something like the available org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.war.WarArchiver) combined with a Sar mojo? Regards, /Etienne
