[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Kevin Sapper commented on FORGE-137: ------------------------------------ Hey Lincoln, here is an example on how I thought to implement this issue for *mvn compile -Pexplode* {code:xml} <profile> <id>explode</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <webappDirectory>${exploded.dir}</webappDirectory> <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> </configuration> <executions> <!-- execute goal war:explode with prepare-package phase --> <execution> <id>explode</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <!-- Manual mode --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-as-deployment-descriptors</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <target> <touch file="${exploded.dir}.dodeploy" /> </target> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> {code} Though this works it gets really ant like messy if you plan to implement this for all deploy and explode goals. Another approach I thought of is to use the the jboss as7 maven plugin. But as they only support deploying this isn't really a complete solution. This also leave the question open on how he implementation for Glassfish will look like? What do you think? //Kevin -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
