How to avoid creating a jar?

[Joshua ChaitinPollak <jp...@kivasystems.com>]

Hello,

we have a few projects we are building with Maven which do not result  
in jar's being the final output. For those projects we are using the  
maven-assembly-plugin, but when we run 'mvn package' we still end up  
with both our assembly and a jar. How can we prevent the jar from  
being created?

Thanks, and sorry if this is a silly question.

The maven-way is to create a maven extension with a custom packaging and
lifecycle, similar to jar one, but without packaging as a .jar.
For example, take a look at
https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/sandbox/javascript-maven-tools/javascript-maven-extensions
that
creates a "javascript" packaging.

This is not very complex, but also not so trivial, so maybe the pragmatic
solution is to ignore the jar that maven builds if you get what you want in
the assembly !

Nico.
