Best way to make a distribution tar

[Chris Dean <ct...@sokitomi.com>]

I'd like to make up a distribution tar file that includes my projects
jar file, configuration files, and a shell scripts.  I'd also like to
include all the dependency jar files as well.  (The project is about 90%
Clojure code if that matters.)

I suppose we'll need a separate task that depends on th package task.
But I'm not sure how get the name of the package file.

Any examples welcome.

Cheers,
Chris Dean

Works great, thanks!

Here's my code for those interested.

  package(:tgz, :id => "#{name}-dist").path("#{name}-#{project.version}").tap do |distro|
    distro.include ["README"]
    distro.include _("doc")
    distro.include _("bin")
    distro.path("config").include _("src/main/config"), :as => "."

    # libraries
    distro.path("lib").include artifacts(compile.dependencies)
    distro.path("lib").include package(:jar)
  end

Cheers,

Here's a rough example,

package(:tgz, :id=>"#{name}-all").tap do |distro|
  distro.include ["RELEASE_NOTES", "README"]

  # third party licenses
  Dir[_("license/*LICENSE")].each { |l| distro.include(l, :path=>"lib") }

  # examples
  distro.path("examples").include _("src/examples"), :as=>"."

  # libraries
  distro.path("lib").include artifacts(COMMONS.logging, LOG4J, ...,
compile.dependencies)

  # plugins
  distro.path("plugins").include project("plugins") # gets all packages from
plugins project
end

Hope this helps,
