Jetty Debian Packager

Maybe worth creating the deb from the build directly in java?

Permission settings and maven2 support coming soon.

I searched for a suitable maven deb plugin for jetty but, there is no suitable one, and the deb ant task is also not suitable for jetty, so I started creating a maven mojo plugin for jetty based. based on how the maven rpm package plugin is implemented

done with the maven-deb-plugin, its in the contrib/jetty-deb, there are two modules one for the maven plugin and the other is for packaging jetty,
I wasnt able to test this because there is no available ubuntu box, hopefully this afternoon there will be

as for the packaging of jetty, i havent created some post installation scripts yet and pre removal scripts, this will be one of the next todo

Working on Project Dependency Handling for this one, done

I meant almost done

I assume this is related to the contrib/jetty-deb modules. Any chance someone could draft a README on using these? I simply ran Maven2 in these directories and it didn't seem to produce any artifacts. Is the Maven2 invocation expecting arguments?

currently this is not yet usable, but we will be working on this one soon

thanks

The first cut of a debian packaging for jetty was released in jetty-6.1.6. Please open specific issues as necessary when they arise.
