Convention for shipped artefacts?
Open question:
I am looking at a project that consists of two or three dozen small maven
modules. Out of this we ship maybe six artefacts.
Does anyone have experience of managing this? I'm having difficulty
locating those projects that actually result in a shipped artefact. Perhaps
it's structure, perhaps it's naming.
Thanks,
James

Two options that I know of:
1) Create a module that creates a single jar containing all of the code
to be shipped.
2) If you want to ship a number of jars, create a Maven project using
IzPack to create an installer that collects the jars to be shipped and
builds an installer that will permit them to be deployed easily.
We have done both in different circumstances.

We use http://www.mojohaus.org/flatten-maven-plugin/ to strip out "development-related" stuff, parent POMs, etc. from our POMs for our "leaf" artifacts so that they have standalone POMs with only their dependencies in them.

I have kinda the sae project: 50 or so modules, 3 'leaf' artifacts (I coined the term 'leaf' to designate the artifacts that will actually be shipping outside.
For me those 3 artifacts share the fact they are each an obfuscated über-jar, and each composed of a combination of the other artifacts. As they are obfuscated, I created an "obfuscated-parent" module (of type 'pom') to contain the 3 leaf artifacts.
So people now know that they find the modules visibles to end-users in the 'obfuscated-parent' directory/module.
It's the best I came up with.
