How to attach a text file to a module's distribution?
I've had a request to deliver release notes for our project as a
separate deliverable when a release is cut. Perhaps I'm going about
this the wrong way, but my first reaction was, "No problem. I'll just
pull the notes into their own module and attach the text file to the
deploy step." That was much easier to think than it has proven to do.
I haven't been able to find a way to simply attach a file that resides
in my module.
I'm open to any suggestions? Best practices?
Thanks,
Dave

Cool! I actually looked at it earlier, but I missed the
"attach-artifact" goal.
Thanks!

In the past i've made use of the Build Helper plug-in to attach additional artifacts

Thanks, Ron. I'll certainly check that out. The real problem is that I
want a text file to be the deliverable artifact from this module. The
QE and Operations staff would prefer not to have to unzip something to
get to it. I currently deliver it as part of our assembly.
Anyway, I'll check out the Resources plugin to see if it'll help me out.

I do something similar using the resources plugin plus the assembly
plugin. Resources to copy only the files I want bundled into
/target/scripts. Assembly to take everything in scripts, put it in a
scripts folder at the root of the zip which is how we deploy. Even if
you don't use the assembly plugin, resources would be where I would
start, as you can have it pick up a file and copy it to a specific
location. This is done before 'package'.
