Hi!
I would like to be able to build a self-sufficient application package from
a project into a zip/tar, ie with all dependencies and a prepared scrip to
execute it.
I have so far tried two approches:
A, Using maven-assembly-plugin and creating my own assembly file
This has two problems:
1, I have set the dependency scope to runtime, but it still includes
"the whole world"!
I mean, it even includes a lot of maven jar:s! (which are obviously
not necessary to run the app)
2, It becomes very inconvenient to write the script and manually
updating the jar:s that should be in the classpath... :-(
B, Using the Mojo appassembler-maven-plugin, but this is very buggy... it
even gives me nullpointer exceptions! :-(
Anyone have tips about the best we to achive this?
