debian-maven-plugin

Maven plugin wrapper around Debian utilities for building .deb packages.

Quick Start

Use Maven plugins to copy resources and dependencies into ${project.build.directory}/deb. Everything in that directory will be included in the package. For example, you might include a directory structure like this:

• deb
  • usr
    • bin
      • hello-world.sh
    • share
      • hello-world
        • data.txt
  • etc
    • hello-world
      • config.ini

Then add a build plugin execution as follows:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.mike10004</groupId>
    <artifactId>debian-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>build-deb</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>package</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <packageName>hello-world</packageName>
                <packageTitle>Hello World</packageTitle>
                <packageRevision>1</packageRevision>
                <projectUrl>https://example.com/</projectUrl>
                <projectOrganization>Unorganized Developers</projectOrganization>
                <maintainerName>Jane Doe</maintainerName>
                <maintainerEmail>jane@doe.com</maintainerEmail>
                <packageDependencies>
                    <package>default-jre-headless</package>
                </packageDependencies>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
