Hi all, we are trying to understand if we can take advantage of maven to totally replace our mega ANT script which produces the release of our multi language and multi module project.
Our project is a mix of Java and C++ code and it is a very complex system composed by sub systems running on different machines. Our final release(which is done for example each six months), is a directory containing other directory of jar, dll, sql script, installer of other external applications and other kind of resources. Some of those directory will be put to a machine, some other to another machine etc... At this time, all the necessary steps to create that release are accomplished through an ANT script very very big, it does many many different things in one shot, that is, I execute the setup.xml, and after some time I obtain my maxy installable folder which I pass to the sysadmin who take care to copy each folder in the right place. Finally, the release of my project is not only deploy a jar containing "one hundred sub-modules jars", but it is a big assembly of many projects (some Java and some C++ and in early future .NET). I took a look at the assembly plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/) but I need a tool not bound to a project (bound to a single pom.xml) like assembly plugin. In your experience, is it possibile replace that ANT script with maven? In your projects, how do you perform the creation of the installable items? Thanks, I hope to have benn quite understandable!
