Using maven assembly in Intellij?
I'm having a problem with Maven/Intellij integration. It is a bit of an edge case, and there is probably a way to fix it, I just can't figure it out.
1) I'm building a product that has an plugin model. Plugins are defined in jars, and those jars need to include all their dependencies.
2) We have default plugins. I have a maven module that builds these, and use the maven-assembly-plugin to create a jar with all the dependencies in it. In addition, I set appendAssemblyId=false, so the resultant jar has the same name.
3) We build a War for our product that includes the default plugin jar. If the default plugins aren't installed, we use thei jar to bootstrap the installation.
When I do this in Maven, the jar that is in the war contains all the dependencies. I believe this is because the package phase of maven gets called before install, so the assembly plugin has been called.
When I do this in Intellij, the jar in the war does not contain the dependencies. I believe this is because it only runsh through the test-compile phase? so the assembly plugin has not been called?
Is there a way for me to tell Intellij to always run my default plug-in through the package phase, and use that? or is there a better way to solve this in Intellij?
