maven2 plugin suggestions

I often write stand alone apps, and I've often thought
it would be good to have a plugin to bundle up a build
complete with all the dependent jars, scripts, config
files etc - and to even generate the run.bat & run.sh
scripts. 

Is there anything like this currently (I talking
maven2) - if I wrote it would anyone else find it
useful?

Also, would anyone find a plugin that generated the
java service wrapper configuration useful?

There is an idea for such a plugin currently called maven runtime and  
I'm sure if you were to add comments at the following link then it  
would gather even more momentum:

For this kind of plugin I would suggest to use a packaging software that 
takes your peaces of the build and put it on the right places. Normally 
you have all your resources in the repository on the right place.

A very good packager and installer would be izpack: 
http://www.izforge.com/izpack/

I used that a lot. If you are interested, I could provide a plugin for 
maven.

Sorry, forgot to answer the bundling. Try the maven-assembly-plugin:

Hi,

There are in fact tools in Maven 2 as templates to building 
applications. Please refer to Archetypes 
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html). 
Current archetypes are:

- j2ee
- mojo
- portlet
- profiles
- quickstart
- site
- webapp

You could write an archetype if you often use an existing application as 
a template.

Regards,
John

If it does not exist, it should :-) I would happily support the idea - 
and the development.
What about adding the possibility of wrapping a full webapp complete 
with a standalone container (eg. Jelly) as an autonomous application. I 
think there exists tools that do something related but nothing in maven.

On this point - for us mac users it would be neat to finish the release 
phase by generating all the bits and pieces that allow a java app to look 
like a real mac app - ie a MyApp.app folder with the content in the right 
places and a custom icon etc.

Kind regards,
Dave Sag
