Dependency:copy and/or dependency:copy-dependencies -----Original Message----- From: Ketan Khairnar [mailto:ketan.khair...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 5:42 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Mavenizing Existing Project Part Deux
Based on this discussion, I have a question here regarding uncommon requirement. Once my build is finished I need to copy all the generated artifacts as well as portal components and some shell scripts/batch files from resources. Copying is done to custom directory which acts as TestBed of the application. i.e. it can start jetty..with portal and all application jars. I couldnt do that using maven-assembly plugin. Only otions I had 1) jar with dependencies - doesnt work as I need it in directory format or rather I can first gather all things and then build executable jar....but it takes longer too considering frequent change install cycle 2) assembly descriptor --- How can I copy generated artifacts i.e. jars modulesets? ..but then with unpack=false option it also copies all dependencies too which I don't need Can anybody suggest me better solution?
