Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Hi, I am using maven for the first time, so I apologize if this is a
retarded question, but I can't find it anywhere in the docs.
I have an app that is a command line app. I want to create an assembly
that has my jar, along with the other jars that are listed as
dependencies on it.
I tried the "jar-with-dependencies" approach, and that *almost* works,
but one of the jars i am including has some added files in the
META-INF directory, and they do not end up getting included, so the
app fails. Bummer. :(
So, I guess i am looking for one of two things:
1) how can I get *all* the files in the uber jar.
-or-
2) how can I get the assembly to just put all the individual dependent
jars in a directory somewhere?
I think I'd prefer #2, but at this point... I'll take what I can get! :-)
TIA,
Larry

OK, I got it.
I added a section to my pom for snapshot plugins like this:
<project ...>
...
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>maven-snaps</id>
<url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
...
</project>
Then to build, I do this:
mvn install dependency:copy-dependencies
That does a totally adequate job of putting everything out in my
target directory for me.
Thanks for your help, people.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your "#2" option. I think you should forget about
the assembly plugin and use the maven-dependency-plugin.

Re: Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Posted by Larry Meadors <lm...@apache.org>.
Hmm, no, not really.
I have dependencies on oracle (ojdbc), spring, mail, activation,
commons-net, log4j, ibatis-common, and ibatis-sqlmap in my project.
I want to have my jar, and all of the jars required to run it
somewhere in the target directory.

Re: Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Posted by pjungwir <ma...@9stmaryrd.com>.
Hi Larry,
I believe the descriptorId is required. You must also reference assembly.xml
from your POM by giving the assembly plugin a configuration like this:
<configuration>
<descriptor>assembly.xml</descriptor>
</configuration>
But the "4 files" result is correct, I think. What's in them? The jar should
contain only your current project's classes. That is not the result of the
assembly plugin, but of the jar plugin (probably running automatically on
account of jar packaging). The other three files are coming from the
assembly plugin. What's in them? You should see your jar plus your
dependency jars. That's what you wanted, right?

Re: Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Posted by Larry Meadors <lm...@apache.org>.
Thanks, Paul - I added that as a file named assembly.xml in the
directory with my pom.xml in it.
I then added this to my pom (in the build/plugins section):
===
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorId>bin</descriptorId>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>./assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<finalName>marcdelivery</finalName>
<outputDirectory>target/assembly</outputDirectory>
<workDirectory>target/assembly/work</workDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
===
But it still only creates 4 files:
- target/marc-delivery-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
- target/assembly/marcdelivery-bin.tar.gz
- target/assembly/marcdelivery-bin.tar.bz2
- target/assembly/marcdelivery-bin.zip
If I remove the <descriptorId>bin</descriptorId> line from the pom, I
get only one file (target/marc-delivery-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) and an
error. :(
How do you have this in your project?

Re: Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Posted by pjungwir <ma...@9stmaryrd.com>.
Hi Larry,
I'm doing this, too. I think you'll need to create your own assembly
descriptor. Here is mine:
<assembly>
<id>bin</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.jar</include> <!-- the jar of this project's
classes -->
</includes>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>target/scripts</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*</include> <!-- clui scripts to launch the main
java class -->
</includes>
<fileMode>755</fileMode>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>target/doc</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<files>
<file>
<source>README</source>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
<fileMode>644</fileMode> <!-- broken. see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-153 -->
</file>
</files>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
