multi-component applications with maven excelsior jet plugin

[kruherson1337]

Is there a way to do multi-component applications with this maven plugin?

Our normal way of building excelsior installer is to have two excelsior projects "app.prj/exe" and "dep.prj/dll". In "app.exe" there is our application code, in "dep.dll" there are third party dependencies which are not changed a lot. With this two components we can quickly build excelsior installer without having to rebuild "dep" again.

In "app.prj" we are using directive !uses, but I cannot find it in maven plugin.

Now we want to use maven excelsior jet plugin in our project, but can/how we do it as multi-component application?

No, the plugin does not support it yet.
The issue is similar to #15.
We are working on this problem and we are going to support global compilation cache in the compiler itself (so you will not need to recompile your dependencies). Multi-component support from the plugin is possible but as far as multi-component model is used as workaround for the compilation problem, we think that we need to provide a better solution for the problem.

Adding my vote to this feature request, as it seems to be mandatory for any commercial project attempting to leverage LGPL libraries (without the runtime performance loss of plain .jars and the JIT-compiler).

It would be the great feature.
