Maven X business_service quickstart

[andre1001]

Hi,

what would be a better strategy to packaging applications like business_services quickstart with Maven?

1) Create 3 projects. 1 pom which manages 1 .esb and 1 .jar?

2) Create 1 project with all artifacts, and putting .jar inside .esb by configuring Maven lifecycle steps?

Thanks.

Does someone build .esb packages with Maven?

I know Kev built a maven plugin for doing this, but not sure where it is hosted now (hopefully he'll post).

What I've done in the past and it worked OK (IMO), was to use maven plus a simple ant script to build the actual .esb archive. Use the maven assembly plugin to assemble the dependencies etc.

Here's the link :

I believe someone has an .esb archetype too - I'll ask around and see if someone can share the info about that.

This is really more of a maven "best practices" question rather than esb one, I think the best practice in maven is that you have a parent pom that builds the .esb, and inside that parent project you have a example-jar sub-project which builds the jar.

tcunning/tfenelly,

thanks for your answers. I would appreciate any poms/archetypes also. If I manage to get it working I'll post here.

We created a maven plugin and then donated it to the codehaus mojo project, TomC has already posted the link.

You should use your first suggestion and treat the construction of the esb artifact in a similar fashion to creating an ear. There is a packaging type associated with the plugin which, IIRC, is jboss-esb.

Thanks Kevin.

I've also added a step in order to test application inside AS (integration-test phase).
