Norval Hope closed DIRSERVER-1283.
----------------------------------


Thanks - your fix has resolved the problem!

I've no idea what the "shade" plug-in is or does, but now I'm back in the much less worrying state of only having to understand things that I'm actually modifying.

BTW I started out with an open mind about maven initially, but now every time I need to do a build I have to mentally prepare myself for the possibility that my previously working development tree may break. For instance last week i was forced to change a *TestCase class in a development tree I hadn't modified any source in for months, because an apparently more strict plug-in was downloaded and used underneath me. I really dislike having to approach each build as being basically of the equivalent risk as an "svn up". Unlike the latter, there is no way to delay building until a point where you're happy to wear the risk - you have to do it every time you change the source ....

At any rate - much appreciate you assistance!

> Doing a "mvn install" or running installers/apacheds-noarch/apacheds.bat no longer results in consolidated *-app.jar file. I tried the following:
>   1. remove my maven respository
>   2. mvn clean (at top level)
>   3. mvn install (at top level, and with the usual 10 or so restarts of my build every time it failed to download some random library I've never heard of - man I hate maven!).
>   4. cd <top>/installers/apacheds-noarch
>   5. run apacheds.bat
> At this point installers\apacheds-noarch\target\apacheds-noarch-installer-1.5.5-SNAPSHOT.jar exists (16kb) but nothing I can think of will build a *-app.jar file like it used to. As usual there is only a 100% opaque maven pom to look at, so I have not the slightest clue why the -app.jar file isn't being built. Have I mentioned how much I hate !#@$@% maven. I tried an explicit "mvn assembly:assembly" as used to work in earlier versions but not joy there either. 
> At any rate, I have no idea where to go to from here...
> Thanks
