Building a project that includes scripts

[Sean Davis <sd...@mail.nih.gov>]

Sorry for the naive question.  I'm using maven2 in eclipse and now have a
project that includes a script folder that has shell scripts for common java
-cp ..... command-line interactions.  I would like to build a project that
has a lib folder, a scripts folder (with scripts that refer to the lib
folder), and potentially other top-level directories or documents in it.
One way to do this would be to use an ant build script for everything, but I
wanted to see if that was the "maven" way of doing things.

Thanks,
Sean

Also see http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/classpath.html
for how to make an executable jar.
Then all you need to do is get the assembly plugin to copy and layout
the dependency libraries in the correct place (say lib/) and you are
done.

Unfortunately I see no examples of how to write your own scripts.

Here are the ones I have used internally. The use of the variables
means I can use the same scripts for any standalone java project.
We pass in an argument to our programs (start or stop) as we use JMX
to manage the lifecycles.

== start.bat ==
java -jar ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar start
==

== start.sh ==
nohup java -jar ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar start >
/dev/null 2>&1 &
==

Many projects use the Assembly plugin to create a binary (and source)
distributions.
