Re: [seam-dev] module project anatomy
Dan,
While restructuring the JMS module I ran into a maven assembly issue. I
couldn't get a dependent library jar into the assembly because it wasn't
depended on from my parent pom. The seam-jms-impl depends on
weld-extensions but there's no reason to include the dependency generally in
seam-jms-parent as no other modules need it.
Here's an excerpt from assembly.xml:
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>seam-jms/lib</outputDirectory>
<useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
<includes>
<include>org.jboss.weld:weld-extensions</include>
</includes>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
Since the assembly is defined in seam-jms-parent I get this warning when
building the assembly:
[WARNING] The following patterns were never triggered in this artifact
inclusion filter:
o 'org.jboss.weld:weld-extensions'
After doing some research[1] I found that for more complex assemblies a
separate project solely responsible for building the assembly is used where
special dependencies such as this can be defined. I'm no Maven expert so I
wanted to bring this up and see what you guys think about it. I could just
say the hell with it and just include this dependency in
seam-jms-parent since this is a small multi-module project...
What do you think?
[1]:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/faq.html#module-bin...
Describes how using a separate assembly project can relieve the issues
with
assembling multi-module projects. See topic "The Assembly Plugin is saying
it cannot find files for the module binaries included by my assembly
descriptor. What gives?".
