JNLP Generator Maven Plugin

New version found at JavaFX Maven Plugin

What does it do?

The unique goal of this plugin is "jnlp". The plugin will activate Velocity to generate a JNLP file out of the master template and all Maven model data (your project information) and especially maven runtime dependencies. The generated JNLP file will be distributed by Maven automatically.

Resources

• Binaries distribution On JFrog public Artifactory repository jfrog-jnlp-plugin
• The source code on JFrog subversion repository: jfrog-jnlp-plugin
• The JIRA project for bug reports and next features: JNLPGP
• The maven generated site: jfrog-jnlp-plugin

Activating the plugin

• Just add the following plugin to your pom.xml file:

  <plugin>
      <groupId>org.jfrog.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>jfrog-jnlp-plugin</artifactId>
      <executions>
          <execution>
              <goals>
                  <goal>jnlp</goal>
              </goals>
          </execution>
      </executions>
  </plugin>
  

• And the following plugin repository to your settings.xml or pom.xml (best practice is to do it in a profile):
