Maven scp and extract plugin

Question

As part of a development deployment - I need to SCP a zipped folder of assets to a virtual machine, and then extract it there.

Is there a plugin(s) that will do this, before I roll my own?

Answer 1

I found the maven-antrun-plugin is perfect for this kind of thing.

The one thing to be aware of is the use of your ${archive.source} and ${basedir} in the pathconvert command.

I made it this way because you need to explicit with the full path name in the pathconvert - but you want to be relative in sourcing where they're from in the first place.
