Skinny pom is a hack. What I'd like to do is have him run my project directly. Sharing a pom requires too many steps. You have to detach the pom from the email, save it sin an empty folder such that it doesn't conflict with other things (conflicts are not likely the first few times but possible when I get happy and start using the idea more often with more advanced people), run the command, then diagnose why it didn't work on the first attempt. (Was there corruption in the detached email? Is there an XSD in the pom trying to resolve to a absolute path on my machine? Did I mis-type a dependency in the pom or forget to close a tag?) I'm leaning towards using an assembly which describes the Tomcat structure since there's likely two war apps involved but even then there's no straight forward way to unpack a tomcat tar and launch on a single command. I'm looking for something like an executable war or a jar in a war or something. Maybe I'll whip up something quick/dirty in Groovy that embodies the idea and release it. I was just checking to see if it had been done or if there was an alternate approach.
