##Welcome to the EasyPack Maven Plugin wiki

EasyPack Maven Plugin facilitates the distribution of Java applications in tar, zip and tar.gz formats.

The plugin introduces three new packaging types for using instead of the standard jar and war options. The final artifact is a tar, zip or tar.gz archive that includes the java application.

The pom will look like:

              <groupId>org.company</groupId>
              <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT<version>
              <packaing> jtar </packaging>
              <groupId>org.company</groupId>
              <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT<version>
              <packaing> jzip </packaging>
              <groupId>org.company</groupId>
              <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT<version>
              <packaing> jtargz </packaging>

Features

  • Java applications in tar, zip or tar.gz: the final artifact is in tar, zip or tar.gz format.

  • Start script creation: start scripts for linux and/or windows are automatically created.

  • Dependency management: the project dependencies are automatically included in the final artifact.

  • No deploy of useless artifacts: the jar or war file generated by standard packaging (and then included in the final artifact), is not deployed to the Maven repository as only one artifact, in the required format, is created.

See the Usage page to check how to configure the pluging.
