--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Create distribution tasks for releasing the software
                 Key: MARMOTTA-131
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARMOTTA-131
             Project: Marmotta
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Build Environment
            Reporter: Sebastian Schaffert
            Assignee: Sebastian Schaffert
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 3.0-incubating


The project build currently mainly builds the Maven artifacts, but we also need to configure the different distributions we'd like to have. A copy from my mail to dev@...:

The release of Marmotta is a bit different from both, Jena and Stanbol:
- there is a common release number over all artifacts (different to Stanbol, easier maintenance)
- the primary means of release is the Maven repository
- there are two binary "launchers" we would like to release in addition: a .war file and a izPack installer that bundles also Tomcat
- there are a number of libraries that are worth releasing separately as libraries (Maven and download):
  * ldclient as a Linked Data Client library
  * ldcache as a Linked Data Caching library (builds on ldclient)
  * ldpath as a RDF/Linked Data Query Language (builds on Jena or Sesame, can use ldcache) 
  * kiwi as a RDBMS-based Sesame backend with some advanced functionality (reasoning, versioning, transactions)
- there is a common source release consisting of the combined source code
