You may have seen my simple JEE5 maven project setup already. I am trying to add more and more features during the next few weeks that satisfy the needs of enterprise software development.
First add-on is the possibility to have a separate static-web.zip generated, which contains all relevant content, that should be deployed to a separate webserver.
All you have to do is to add the following to your war/pom.xml
<plugin>
<!-- assamble static content -->
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/static.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Next step is to add a new folder in the web project (src\main\assembly) and create the needed assembly file (static.xml)
<assembly>
<id>static</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.html</include>
<include>**/*.htm</include>
<include>**/*.jpg</include>
<include>**/*.gif</include>
<include>**/*.css</include>
<include>**/*.js</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>WEB-INF/*</exclude>
</excludes>
<outputDirectory>/static</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
If you now run maven clean install than you get a new static-web.zip file generated, which contains all the defined files and folders.
