But consider the maven-resources plugin. The source jar has the following: org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/util/ org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/PropertyUtils.java org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/ReflectionProperties.java org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/ResourcesMojo.java org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/TestResourcesMojo.java org/apache/maven/plugin/resources/util/InterpolationFilterReader.java I created a build.xml, and can copy your idea to make a deb. But is it worth creating a single deb just for these, or do you think a maven-plugins package with all the plugins assorted and a single build.xml would be better? I ask this, since we have to repackage the things anyway, for the source is provided as jars. But this would mean that if some one plugin's version is bumped up, it would require a rebuild of the whole thing. So, what is the right way? Thanks.
