maven-assembly-component

Introduction

It answers the question how do I factorise a maven assembly descriptor when

• there is a common structure for several assemblies
• eventually a subpart of the assembly is specific for some modules

The example project is organised as follows:

maven-assembly-example
+-assembly-common-resources
+-assembly-component
+-assembly-example1
+-assembly-example2

assembly-example1 and assembly-example1 modules both leverage assembly-component to create their own assembly.

maven-assembly-example example illustrates how to factorise maven assembly descriptors to define a common skeleton and a specific part in submodule

• assembly-common-resources : common resources
• assembly-component : the common assembly descriptor
• assembly-example1 : a first module leveraging the maven component defined in assembly-component
• assembly-example2 : a second module leveraging the same maven component defined in assembly-component

Help

To run the main class within the assemblies on Linux or Mac OS, e.g.: example1

cd assembly1/target/
unzip *.zip
cd assembly-example1-1.0-SNAPSHOT
javac -cp .:lib/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar:lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar fr/kdefombelle/assembly/Example1Main.java
java -cp .:conf:lib/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar:lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar fr/kdefombelle/assembly/Example1Main
