Building deployment packages

[Ron Wheeler <rw...@artifact-software.com>]

We have a portal application with a bunch(9) of shared jar files that 
end up in ../tomcat/lib and, of course, a large number (27 and growing) 
of webapp war files.

I would like to create 2 projects gather all of the files into a zipped 
tar and a zip for deployment to servers or localhost PCs.
One project will collect the library jars and the other will collect the 
webapps.

I want to get the artifacts out of the Nexus repo.


I have read 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html and 
looked at the section on dependency sets.
It is a bit confusing since it has no practical examples and there are 
lots of options.

Is my approach sensible? Is there an article or good example of how to 
do this.

Thanks

I will give it a shot and post my grief if I get into too much trouble.
I am now building the release with the roughly 60 artifacts that make up 
the release.

Yes this is a sensible approach.

No I do not have an assembly.xml to share. But what you are asking for
is not too terribly tough to achieve.
