A Maven plugin for the brilliant Getdown. Parts of it were loosely based on Webstart Maven Plugin,
- Gathers dependencies
- Generates your manifest
- Generates your update directory
- Generates your stubs
- Generates your applet directory (not yet complete)
- Signs stub for applets
- Custom Java Installation
- Tracking Configuration
- Copy resources, native resources, unpackable resource and executable resources based on patterns.
- Doesn't yet handle Versioning.
- Doesn't yet handle Auxiliary Resources
- Doesn't yet handle Platform-specific Configuration
- 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT - Initial release
- 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT - Updated Getdown version. Fixes digest file signing (thaks alapierre). Initial stub icon.
- 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT - Fixes problem with classified artifacts. Added Java and Tracking configuration.
- 0.0.4-SNAPSHOT - Updated to Getdown version 1.8.3. Supports custom JAR configurations and Alternative Entry Points (AEP).
- 0.0.4a-SNAPSHOT - Fixes problem when Java configuration is only added to getdown.txt of stub directory. Adds Java configuration to getdown.txt of update directory.
- 0.9.0 - Released to Maven Central. New artifact group ID of io.github.rockfireredmoon. Now binds to package phase by default. Update to Getdown 1.8.x and other pull requests. Thanks to all contributors.
- 0.9.1 - Completed implementation of resource sets.
- 0.9.2-SNAPSHOT - Supports custom JAR configurations and Alternative Entry Points (AEP).
updatesGenerates update directory. By default bound to package phase.stubsGenerates stubs directory for building installers. Must bind to phase yourself.appletGenerates applet template directory (with signed getdown jar). Must bind to phase yourself.
This plugin is available on Maven Central, so simply add the required plugin configuration for the appbase and mainClass.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.icestuff</groupId>
<artifactId>getdown-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.9.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<!-- This is the minimum required configuration, see below for more -->
<appbase>http://myserver.com/myapp/getdown</appbase>
<mainClass>org.icestuff.getdown.maven.examples.MyApp</mainClass>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Then run the package phase :-
mvn package
This will produce your updates directory in target/getdown.
See https://github.com/threerings/getdown/wiki/Getdown-Dot-Text for the Getdown documentation itself. Most of this configuration maps to entries in the getdown.txt file as described there.

The tags <resources>, <xresources>, <uresources>, and <uresources> all act in the same manner. They can contain
specific or ant-style wildcard paths that will be copied in as resources and added to the manifest with the appropriate key.
All tags may also copy resources to different paths to which they are stored in the source tree using the <destination> and <prefix> tags. Native resources (<nresources> also supports the addtional <platform> and <platforms> tags)

<!-- Now from the stub we create some platform specific installers to
give the user shortcuts etc. For Linux, because apps will be installed in
root paths, the launch script actually links getdown to the users home directory
and runs it from there. This lets all users share the shortcut, but have
their own cache.. -->
