distribution reports

[Julian Wood]

Hi,

I've been playing with Maven over the last little while, and have  
gotten things to the point where I'm almost totally happy. I just  
have one task left to do, and it seems that somebody must have come  
across this before, or I'm taking the wrong approach.

It has to do with distributions. I can deploy my binary and source  
distribution to the remote repository (our internal repository)  
without problem. I want these to be referenced from the site, but I  
can't see any way to do that. Is there some reason that your  
distributions (ie a downloadable src zip and a downloadable bin zip)  
should not be available from the site? In my travels I haven't come  
across anyone who has made them available like this, so I'm wondering  
what I'm missing.

I would also like to make a downloadable docs zip, and I have also  
made my own plugin which repackages the same stuff in yet another way  
(called a framework - it's just the product jar and dependencies  
bundled up with an XML file). So I would like to have all 4 of these  
products in my dist directory (which they are), and then referenced  
from the site, so that they are available for download (which they  
aren't, yet).

I view these as separate from the released product, which produces a  
jar and is available from the downloads page. Initially I wanted them  
all on the downloads page, but I guess that is taboo.

So before I make a plugin which summarizes the distributions and  
produces an xdoc, what am I missing?

Thanks,

J

I think you are on the right track.

It would be good to have such things better integrated (eg into the
downloads page), but at the moment there is no automated integration
of distribution links.
