             Summary: Bringing back the SDB assembly (zip/tarball distribution)
                 Key: JENA-1118
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1118
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SDB
            Reporter: Osma Suominen
            Assignee: Osma Suominen
            Priority: Minor


I've been using the ancient jena-sdb-1.3.6 distribution but it's getting old. I wanted to have something newer to deploy to my server but compiling SDB using "mvn package" only builds the jar, not a full distribution with the command line scripts etc.

I noticed that the Maven assembly plugin configuration to do this was commented out from jena-sdb/pom.xml in commit 807f8bf on 16 Feb 2014 and later removed entirely. Maybe there was a good reason to do so, I don't know. The assembly.xml file has since bitrotted slightly since it references files that no longer exist.

In any case I'd like to have it back in working condition and I will open a PR shortly to do that.
