NSIS Plugin Contribution

[Michael Wyraz-2]

Hi,

I saw that there are several NSIS (Nullsoft installer) plugins which try
to create a .nsi file from the project and then run a makensis that was
installed on the system. Because out needs are different, I created my
own plugin with a different approach:
- it expects that there is already a .nsi file
- it comes with makensis + required files for win32 and linux-x86_64
which are automatically unpacked (idea and some code are from the
launch4j plugin; cross-compiled NSIS for linux)
- it runs with any .nsi file against any folder in the build dir
- the resulting artifact is (by default) placed on target and added to
the projects artifacts
So using this plugin is very simple and does not require any NSIS
installation on the build machine.

If you interestet in using some of my code or the complete plugin, let
me know.

Regards, Michael.

 Hi Michael,
 
this was one of the things I wanted check for it's possibilities.
There are a few things a had to find out:
- get the makensis for different operating systems (windows, linux-i386, linux-amd64, solaris)
- what does the license say about including these files into the nsis-plugin.
 
I noticed the nsis-plugin isn't listed at http://mojo.codehaus.org/plugins.html
but here's the site with all the required info: http://mojo.codehaus.org/nsis-maven-plugin/
 
One nice thing we could try to manage is a Windows installer for Maven :)
 
regards
 
- Robert
