how generate additional artifacts from one project?
Hi all
I'm trying to generate additional artifact flavours for a single project. I
checkout the assembly plugin but I'm still not quite sure where to start.
Some help is really appreciated.
right now I have
artifact-sources.jar and
artifact-javavdoc.jar.
I would like to generate one more something like -resources.jar, which
contains public resources to be shared by my build tool. Is the assembly
plugin the right place to start? after I generate this flavour, how do I
tell maven to deploy / install it along others?
thanks

I wasn't sure whether the use case was for application level resources, or more build related resources that wished to be attached. If it's application level resources intended to be shared a separate project is appropriate, but if you're trying to gather build information, for example, then making a small JAR in-situ and attaching it is the way to go.

Alternatively you can roll your own solution, something like this[3]. The full example is here[4].

May I also add that try to stuff everything into one Maven project
very often isn't the best solution. Why not split the shared resources
into a separate module?
Regarding the m-assembly-plugin, it's my understanding that it will
attach the produced artifact by default ([1] and [2]). No need to use
the build helper plugin for that.

You can use the build helper plugin[1] to attach arbitrary artifacts. So you can use any means to produce the artifact you want to attach, say the assembly plugin, and then use the attach-artifact goal[2] of the build helper plugin to have it be installed in your local repository and deployed to the remote repository. Alternatively you can roll your own solution, something like this[3]. The full example is here[4].
