Deploying secondary artifacts alongside the main project artifact

[Olivier Dehon <od...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to understand best practices around how to achieve the
following:

Every time the artifact produced by the project is deployed, I would
like to deploy a secondary artifact (an XML file that has meta
information about the artifact that will be used when the artifact
is actually released onto the production platform).

Here's how I thought about achieving this:
- Create a Mojo that is linked to the package phase that creates an
  artifact out of the xml file (packaging/type TBD), and then uses
  projectHelper.attachArtifact() on the newly created artifact.
- When the Maven execution reaches the install and deploy phases, the
  XML file will be installed and deployed alongside the main artifact.

Before I start and attempt to write the "attach" plugin, I wanted to
get a feeling whether this would work at all and/or if there are better
ways of achieving the same thing?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

-Olivier
