Assembly Plugin - Archive in Archive
Hi,
I am successfully using the Assembly Plugin to create an archive containing
extra content for a release.
However, now I would like to create another archive containing this archive,
plus the generated war file, plus a readme file for the client.
Any idea how that can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

you can create multiple assembly descriptors.
The first one puts the output under a staging area like 'target/staging'.
you can copy more files into that staging area using antrun, dependency plugins
Your second assembly descriptor then work off the staging area.
You will need to run multiple executions of the assembly plugin per descriptor

Hi Dan, thanks for your fast reply.
However - could you please a bit more specific of how this can be done?
E.g.
a) Where can I add the multiple assembly executions - in the pom or in the
assembly descriptor?
b) what''s a "staging area"?
Thanks,
Peter

run multiple assembly executions, use maven-dependency-plugin to
prepare staging area as needed.
