How adding a Maven Tuscany plugin for running contributions?
If anyone is looking for a reasonable simple self contained fun bit of
work to do how about a new maven plugin to run SCA contributions. The
archetypes we have for creating Tuscany webapps have the Jetty plugin
configured so that you can run them by simply doing "mvn jetty:run"
(see http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYWIKI/Tuscany+Maven+Archetypes).
We could have the same type of thing for running SCA JAR and ZIP
contributions with "mvn tuscany:run" (or mvn sca:run?). I'd help get
started if anyone is interested, or look at the Jetty plugin for
ideas: http://svn.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty/trunk/jetty-maven-plugin/.

To show what i meant i've committed a strawman plugin for this in r766438
and updated the jar and zip contribution archetypes to support it.
You don't need to install or build anything to try this out, just do:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://tuscany.apache.org
choose option 2 for a zip contribution, enter some group and artifactid and
hit enter to take the defaults on the others prompts, then change into the
newly created artifactid directory and do:
mvn tuscany:run
and you should see "Hello world" output from the contributions eagerinit
method.
Something else that could be interesting would be to add a goal to create a
tuscany runtime so you do "mvn tuscany:create-runtime" and it in the target
folder it outputs all the tuscany jars and folders needed to run, it could
interrogate the contributions to find all the extension required so it only
includes the necessary jars.

Any dependent contributions could be defined in the plugin config in
the pom.xml so that should be fine.

The current launchers don't work from the maven command (AFAIK?) and
thats what i think would make this useful. But yes otherwise the
launchers are quite similar and that demonstrates there is value in
running contributions like this doesn't it :)

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a big value of doing this if I understand your
proposal correctly.
The SCA deployment story is very different from the web application which is
the standard that Jetty supports. Typically, an SCA composite application
may consist of more than one contributions within the SCA domain.
BTW, we already have the launcher, can't we just use that?
Thanks,
Raymond
