You can use the Cargo plugin in maven to ge the functionality that you need. They support deployment to a number of containers.

Hi there! I'm new to Maven and I'm having some trouble with deployment-oriented tasks... I recently discovered that Maven doesn't support J2EE-server deployment "out-of-the-box", and I'm trying to build up this part for our application. I have some questions cause I couldn't find the right answers on the web. 1. What do you suggest me to do in case of having a JBoss server and want to copy/deploy files to it? (Not only jars+wars but lots of xmls, too) Conceptually, where does this task belong to? Should I extend the default lifecycle to be able to execute, e.g.: mvn -e jboss-deploy? What have you guys done? 2. Regarding these issues, we've created a new type of artifact that packages everything that should be deployed, although we ignore if it's the good way to do so. We would like to use Maven (through a plugin) to handle this special artifact by resolving* its path to the actual network/disk resource, and decompress it into our J2EE server folders. (*) So there is our problem: what's the mechanism to resolve an artifact/dependency programmatically in our plugin?
