Creating a Webmanager Component Archive - GX DeveloperWeb - GX Developerweb

This information is for WCB's based on pre-WM 9.7 archetypes.
From WM 9.7 on, the archetypes contain the things described below.

A Webmanager Component Bundle contains the bare necessities for a functional component. It is possible to create a Web Component Archive to store additional information with a WCB; think of the source code or Javadoc documentation. Creating a WCA is similar to creating a WCB, below are instructions how to do it.

Add the red colored code snippets to your "pom.xml":

 	<build>
		<plugins>

			<!-- plugin to create the javadoc on the package phase -->
			<plugin>
				<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>create-javadoc</id>
						<phase>package</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>javadoc</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

			<!-- plugin to create the distribution zip on the package phase -->
			<plugin>
				<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>assemble-zip</id>
						<phase>package</phase>

						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration>
					<descriptors>
						<descriptor>src/main/assembly/dist-assembly.xml</descriptor>
					</descriptors>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>
	<reporting>

				<configuration>

				</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</reporting>

Copy the contents below to a file in your WCB directory structure named "src/main/assembly/dist-assembly.xml":

    </fileSets>
</assembly>

Be sure to add files "readme.txt" and "changelog.txt" (templates are here) to your directories.

Build as usual ("mvn -s C:\GX\WebManager9\settings.xml clean package"). The WCA .zip file will appear in the target directory.
