During my work experience i've understood the importance of the "Software Distribution Management" aspect. My company actively uses maven to develop software but (until now) didn't use it to distribute/install software to the customer.
A bit a time ago i've found an amazing maven plugin cargo plugin from Codehaus that helps a lot the distribution management process.
MAVEN CARGO PLUGIN
Mission
Cargo is a thin wrapper that allows you to manipulate Java EE containers in a standard way.
Tools
Cargo provides the following Tools and APIs:
- A Java API to start/stop/configure Java Containers and deploy modules into them.
- A Java API to parse/create/merge Java EE Modules
- Ant tasks and Maven 2/Maven 3 plugins.
- Intellij IDEA and Netbeans plugins are in the sandbox.
I've planned to write some stuff based on my experience on this helpful plugin
