Maven plugin development [closed]
- by Eugen Martynov
Pre: I'm new with Maven. I used a lot of ant before.
Qst: I decided to switch my project to maven since there are a lot of dependencies. But I have custom step in package phase (I'm BB dev - packing and signing) which is not available in maven yet. To process these tasks I have to download additional execs/jars. Is it common/have sense in Maven philosophy to load additional tools?
Sure I could call ant from maven but it's not a question. Any helpful book about maven phases, philosophy and uses?
