Maven Distribution Plugin

[Martin Lambert <Ma...@denovopharma.com>]

Hi,

I've found a problem with the dist:deploy goal of the distribution plugin. Unlike the site plugin that uses the 'maven.site.tar.executable' property to set the tar program used, the distribution plugin uses the hard coded string 'tar' to run the tar command. This is can be a problem on Solaris OS where the 'U' option is not supported by the standard tar program.

It would seem appropriate/consistent to replace the hard coded string with a 'maven.dist.tar.executable' property rather than hacking about the OS environment.

The problem described above is applicable to the Maven 1.0 Beta 10 release available on the web site as well as newer versions.

Cheers,

Martin.
