Jar which includes other

[Serge Corbucci <sc...@questel.fr>]

I have numerous EJBs, with each EJB named "Foo" associated to the generated
"Foo-client-fooversion.jar" artifact (thanks to ejb:client). I had to merge
these client jar into only one 'client-all" jar. I did the following :

1) create a new POM file referencing all the jars you need to merge as
dependencies. I named it "make-client.xml".

2) add this to your maven.xml :

	<!--
	 Make a global client jar
	 -->
    <goal name="clientejb-all">
      <delete dir="target/client-all" />
      <mkdir dir="target/client-all" />

      <!-- Unjar each dep to our working dir -->
      <j:forEach var="lib" items="${pom.artifacts}">
        <unjar 
          dest="target/client-all"
          src="${lib.path}"/>
      </j:forEach>
      <!-- Jar it up -->
      <jar 
     	 basedir="target/client-all"
     	 jarfile="${maven.build.dir}/${maven.final.name}.jar" />
      <delete dir="target/client-all" />
    </goal>

3) launch "maven -p make-client.xml clientejb-all

Now you have in your target directory a jar which is the merge result of all
your dependencies. The jar name is the "id" given in make-client.xml.

Hope this helps :)

Take a look at the uberjar plugin.
