Hi there.

I don't seem to get exactly what you want to accomplish, but it sounds like this is what you want to do:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/unpacking-artifacts.html

You can download a specific artifact from a repository and unpack it to a certain directory during the prepare-source phase.

Jeff:

If it was a single file (ie. CheckStyle) I would have most likely gone down the URL route. However, I have multiple configuration files (CheckStyle, PMD, FindBugs, testing, etc) so I would like it all as single dependency. If I go down the *.jar route, it works for CheckStyle but does not seem to work for other plug-ins. That is why I was looking for a solution that would allow a *.jar file to be pulled from a repository and explode to a defined directory. All of the plug-ins have an option to point to a given directory for configuration files. I can do it through the Ant plug-in (unzip) but I was trying to find a pure Maven solution first.

Hi Perry,


Typically, I have used the configuration options of the
tool, such as
specifying the config file via a URL with Checkstyle.  I
have also
bundled them together a separate project, deployed that
jar, and made
it a dependency of the projects.  This works when the
respective tool
can can load the config file via the classpath.

Hello all:

I am working in a Maven multi-project environment and I
would like to maintain some consistency across projects
for some tools like CheckStyle, FindBugs, etc.  In order
to do this, I am thinking of using the remote resource
plugin.  However, the documentation states that the files
from the resource bundle is deposited in the
$basedir/target/classes directory.  However, I would like
it deposited in the $basedir/some_arbitrary_location
directory?  Can I configure the directory where the files
are deposited or am I off in the weeds and there is an
easier way?

Thank you,

Perry Hoekstra
