Re: Maven dependency plug-in and copy-dependencies

[Achim Nierbeck <bc...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

well if those bundles you are seeking for are defined in an
features.xml (in your example that would be the "war" feature) file
I'd propose you use the
features-maven-plugin for copying those artefacts before you wrap your
distribution, this will copy those
artefacts in the target folder of you project. Now you can address
those artefacts by the maven-assembly-plugin and include it in your
own distribution.

you might also take a look in the manual here:

http://karaf.apache.org/manual/2.1.99-SNAPSHOT/developers-guide/custom-distribution.html

regards, Achim
