I am using Windows 7 for Maven configuration.
I have a parent module and sub modules and packaged them as jars which are necessary for my application. I would like to have these jar and conf files to be as a Solaris package.

Is that possbile to have solais package using "solaris-maven-plugin" in Windows itself?
If yes how to do proceed from here? Please help me in proceeding the thing.


Thanks & Regards,
Ramkumar B.

I don't think you'll be able to run the Solaris package build on Windows. Most of the Ant and Maven package-building tasks invoke the native OS package-builder utility program, so you'd have to run the maven package goal on a Solaris machine.

If you are set up to run VMs under Windows, you should be able to boot a copy of Solaris and use that. In addition to the base OS, your Solaris VM will need its own copies of a JDK and Maven installed.

Cygwin is a Linux emulator. Solaris isn't Linux, it's Unix. So, unfortunately, no.

You can run the Linux RPM package manager under cygwin, as I recall, but Solaris doesn't understand RPMs. There's a big difference between both the structures and the handling of the 2 different package types.

Thanks Tom for the timely reply.
But i would like to share one point that, currently in my project, for local building from Windows we use Cygwin.
Using that only we create solaris package as a zip format. Then we FTP it to the Solaris server and will do pkgadd on it.

Note: Build scripts are implemented in build.m4i format.


Thanks & Regards,
Ramkumar B

Actually, if you're going to build a Solaris package by brute-force, I don't know why you're using cygwin. You can slap down files and ZIP them up and FTP them using Maven from a straight "DOS" command prompt without any need to install cygwin at all.

Thanks Tom.

Currently i changed my deployment in Solaris?
I am using the same version of Maven and the same code.

But while compiling the code i am getting an error. The error is,

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error reading descriptor

Embedded error: Unrecognised tag: 'useProjectArtifact' (position: START_TAG see
...<dependencySet>\r\n <useProjectArtifact>... @9:27)
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch



The same code was running in Windows with out issues.
Could you please help me in resolving this issue.


Thanks,
Ramkumar B.

It looks like your assembly descriptor is in DOS format (lines end in CR-LF, that it the \r\n you see in the error text), try converting the file to UNIX format and see if that works. Ditto for any other text file that causes problems.

This package.xml created a directory contains the files. Is that not what you expected? If there is a specific Solaris package file (similar to, for example, .rpm for Red Hat), and there is a command line tool that can create such a package file from the contents of a directory, add the exec plugin to your pom.xml and use the exec plugin to invoke the package utility.
