I jsut read and re-read the docs on the Assembly plugin. It looks like just the thing I need but I have one problem. I can't figure out which features to use to do what I need. I need to unpack the source of runtime-dependencies into a specified directory. The dependencies in question already have source classified archives in our internal repo. I know there's a simple way to do this I'm just too overwhelemd with all of the docs and examples almost getting to the point but missing it. This is what I have so far: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2-beta-2</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <artifactId>mobileshared</artifactId> <groupId>com.mapquest.mobile.shared</groupId> <version>1.7-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <executions> <execution> <id>unpack-dependencies</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <goals><goal>unpack</goal></goals> <configuration> <archiverManager>zip</archiverManager> <descriptors> <descriptor>src/main/resources/assembly.xml</descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> and my assembly.xml located under src/main/resources/assembly.xml:
<assembly> <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <scope>runtime</scope> <outputDirectory>gensrc</outputDirectory> <unpack>true</unpack> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> </assembly> The working dir is populated with all dependency extracts but I don't get anything in my gensrc folder. What am I doing wrong? ----- Cliff http://codeforfun.wordpress.com http://www.nabble.com/file/u156847/Cliff-in-the-lab.png -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Assembly-plugin-Unpack-dependency-source-for-compile-tp18395851p18395851.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
