Source files in the NAR/JAR file ?

[remi.d...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am pretty new to nar-maven-plugin and I try to apply the Maven approach to embedded devices. I just started a project to switch on/off the light on my STM32F0-discovery board, so I am using the stm32f0 library provided by ST Microelectonics to ease my development.

I'd like to package the source/include files of this library and put a dependency into my project POM. Is it in the philosophy of the nar-maven-plugin to include sources into a package (I haven't seen that in the examples) so that I can choose the compilation options when I build my entire project ? Should I use the maven-source-plugin instead (and have .jar file which is specific to Java) ?

Thanks

Certainly it's not _against_ the philosophy. But I think you are the first person to actively want it. PRs very welcome, as usual! [1]

Yes, I think the maven-source-plugin is the canonical and best practice way of doing sources, including as dependencies, since you can just depend on the -sources artifacts and the use the maven-assembly-plugin to aggregate an uber-JAR (or uber-NAR?) of the results.

Your best bet in the short term might be the approach above, and then copy or move the resulting JAR to a NAR with either maven-resources-plugin copy-resources goal, or the maven-antrun-plugin.

Regards,

Curtis

Hi Curtis,

Thanks for the answer. So, I did what you said and I used your solution to deploy the sources of my application into my repository. According to me, it is also a good practice than developing another plugin specifically for natives files but I was not sure.

Regards.

@Rémi did you pursue the idea of creating a plugin? I wanted achieve the same goal for source code analysis and for debugging purposes (gdb).
