Non-java projects question

[Sergey Shcherbakov <ss...@echelon.de>]

Hello all,

 

I am very new to Maven although I could already understand the great
idea behind it.

 

The problem I have is that we have couple of dozens of non-java
ant-driven projects.

I tried successfully to use maven's antrun plug-in to build them with
Maven but the goal I am pursuing currently is to deploy project's
artifacts to the local/internal repository to enable subsequent reuse by
other non-java projects. 

Our projects have though common structure but of course not the same as
maven default jar packaging plug-in expects. Plus jar would not be the
most optimal packaging method.

 

So I am wondering, is it possible to customize pom.xml file in such way
that the Maven would pick-up files in particular folder, pack them to
zip (there is no default zip-packaging plug-in, right?) and install to
the internal repository without a need to create an own project
archetype?

 

 

Best Regards,

Sergey

maven-assembly-plugin is what you are looking for.

you can also use ant to zip them up and then use
build-helper-maven-plugin to notify maven to deploy it

-D
