hornetq-distribution maven artifact

[mgiannini]

As far as I can tell there is no maven artifact published for hornetq-distribution 2.3.0 (for any of the BETA versions).  Having the full distribution available as a maven artifact would be very nice for including (non-embedded) hornetq as part of a larger project assembly.  That way I would not have to download the zip or build from source as part of my application assembly; i could pull it directly from maven and bundle it in my assembly.

Is there a reason the distribution is not being published in this way?

Thanks,

That would be nice for testing, having Maven unpack the distro and start the server, etc.   Looks like it's still not in repository.jboss.org.

We do have it.. but I don't think it's in maven central. It's on JBoss repo.

I was looking in repository.jboss.org, I didn't find it.    Maven coordinates?

Yep.  No distribution artifact there.  

[ataylor]

crossed wires I think, which artifact are you referring to?

[ataylor]

ok, pennys dropped, both clebert and I thought you just meant the hornetq jars. Its not something anyone has ever asked for, maybe you could provide one and contribute it to the project

Okay, I'll take a look at the hornetq build to see where the distribution is made.   With Maven, the shortest path to a distribution artifact is to use the assembly plugin.

It looks like there is already a hornetq-distribution module in the master branch.   I guess the released versions don't have this?   Or maybe it wasn't run when deploying to the JBoss repo?

We use it to build the zip package.. but we never used it to upload I guess.
