Maven dependencies and Glassfish libraries

[Brian Leathem]

I would love to be able to manage the Glassfish lib folder with a
maven pom.xml. ie. point Glassfish to a maven repository, and have it
install artifacts into it's lib folder.

I wonder what it would take to get something like that going - if it
doesn't already exists!?

I guess you could always create a pom file that uses the
maven:assembly plugin to populate your libs directory. Slightly
hacky, but it should do the trick.

A more powerful and robust solution would be an OSGi Bundle Repository:

If you're already using Nexus to host your Maven artefacts, then
upgrading to Pro is one of the quicker ways to get yourself an OBR.
