erlang:target-system

Full name:

eu.lindenbaum:maven-erlang-plugin:2.0.0:target-system

Description:

This Mojo creates a target system release package .tar.gz according to the official documentation. If there's no sys.config file found a default empty one will be included. The resulting target system depends on a correct root directory configuration. The plug-in will change the scripts to check for the ${ ARTIFACTID_TOP} (upper case) environment variable. This variable must be set by the user to guarantee a proper system behaviour. Example: If artifact id is release the environment variable ${RELEASE_TOP} must be set.

Note: The resulting target system is highly system dependent since it contains the erlang emulator (C code) from the backend nodes erlang installation.

Note: This mojo is currently working but still in experimental stage.

  • FIXME not supported on Microsoft Windows

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven 2.0 project to be executed.
