Packaging binary-only libraries

[Chris Tucker <ch...@linspireinc.com>]

Hi,

I'm in the process of setting up some build processes for a couple of 
new projects, one of which has dependencies on several proprietary 
libraries that are binary-only (in this sense, the same as the Sun 
libraries).  Ideally, I'd like to be able to package these up using 
Maven2 so I can manage deployment to my internal repository using 
standard Maven tools (i.e. not fussing with manually copying things 
around etc.).

Is there a way to do this with m2?  Essentially I'm trying to create a 
POM that I associate with the artifact that comes out of a non-maven 
build such that the POM will deploy that artifact (with the POM 
descriptor) to an internal repository.  I can accept changes to the 
names of the jar archives if necessary to meet m2 naming conventions. 
Presumably this process would also work to automate the deployment of 
Sun jars to an internal repository, which I'm sure is an issue many 
others have wanted to address.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Chris
