Description

It would be useful to be able to easily deploy the application to a web server, when it is not bundled as a web app. E.g.
mvn webstart:dist
or if it could somehow be hooked up to the dist process, so it was done by a simple
mvn dist

In maven 1, we used the following goal to dist the application:

<goal name="dist" prereqs="jnlp">
<echo>Copying files from ${maven.jnlp.dir} to ${tt.jnlp.location.host}</echo>
<ant:fileScanner var="files">
<ant:fileset dir="${maven.jnlp.dir}">
<ant:include name="**"/>
</ant:fileset>
</ant:fileScanner>
<j:forEach var="file" items="${files.iterator()}">
<echo>Copying ${file} to ${tt.jnlp.location.host}</echo>
<ant:exec executable="scp" failonerror="true">
<ant:arg value="${file}"/>
<ant:arg value="maven@${tt.jnlp.location.host}:${tt.jnlp.location.dir}"/>
</ant:exec>
</j:forEach>
</goal>

Some sort of mvn webstart:deploy could be useful.
If so, reusing wagon to support various ways of deploying and the notion of servers found in profiles/settings could be a good idea.

We've done it similar to what we did in Maven 1, using Ant:

<profile>
<id>release</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo>Releasing to maven@marple:projects/${pom.artifactId}</echo>
<scp todir="maven@marple:projects/${pom.artifactId}" keyfile="${user.home}/.ssh/id_rsa" passphrase="">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/target/jnlp">
<include name="*"/>
</fileset>
</scp>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
<artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
<version>0.1.29</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>ant</groupId>
<artifactId>ant-jsch</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>

This works well, so writing the new mojo has not been prioritized. Just like MWEBSTART-24, I still think it makes sense to do, so let's keep this one open. Maybe wagon is the way to go - though our need is just to scp the files to a web server area.

+1 for this feature.

The ant plugin route is definitely a hack and can't support the various upload mechanisms like wagon (SCP, file, FTP, etc).

Would this be sufficient ? http://myfaces.apache.org/wagon-maven-plugin/usage.html

If so I will add it to the FAQ.
