archiver-maven-plugin?
Hi every one,
I would like introduce archiver-maven-plugin. It is a cut down version of
maven-assembly-plugin with the following functionalities.
1. Smaller feature scope - compression/archiving only
2. Descriptor's objects are exposed through plugin's configuration.
This way, we can take advantage of expression processing provided by
the POM.
3. Install and deploy are thru artifact attachments.
4. No direct DependencySet support, user can use dependency-maven-plugin
instead.
I am still struggling to decide if spinning this plugin off
maven-assembly-plugin,
is a good idea. However by cutting down feature scope, the plugin will be
very
stable in the long term.
Suggestions?
Thanks
-Dan

Agreed, I think the assembly plugin should be able to perform simple
tasks as well and another plugin with similiar capabilities would just
be confusing not to mention a maintenance problem.

It has been 2 and half months. ;-) Is it time a for a new release?
Any how, I agree that It does not look right when there are 2 similar
plugins.

No, I think the existing mojo needs to interpolate the descriptor.

I still don't understand. The assembly plugin is already released! :)
Do you mean the wait for the 2.1 release?

Sound good, is it thru a seperate mojo?

I think most user need is the capablity to assembly files and dendencies
together.
This is exactly archiver-maven-plugin provides ( exception the dependencies
).
The maven-assembly-plugin has a rich set of features that I think It will
take for ever
to release.

What is the benefit of having a limited feature set if the assembly
plugin is able to do this? I don't quite see the reasoning.
