Can I install several files into one artifact with Maven2 instal:install-file command

I'm developping application with JOGL2 and my favorite IDE Eclipse, also I want to use Maven2 for this purpose. Unfortunately, JOGL2 has no artifact yet. Also, I plan to deploy it as a runnable jar file.

So I want to install JOGL artifact locally : so i'll use the install:install-file command.

But I want to group several jars to make several artifacts, that is :

Is it possible ? (The official documentation does not mention the possibility or unpossibility to do so).

Thanks in advance

maven doesn't have support for that. You would have to unpack these JAR files and repackage them together.

maven does have support for merging JAR with dependencies (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/574594) - and it's done the way I mentioned above. But you are asking about merging two arbitrary JARs, which is not possible in maven.

Install all files as usual like file:jar:version. Than create pom with pom packaging and use gluegen-rt.jar and jogl.all.jar as dependencies in it (they must be already installed). After that use new pom as dependency in your project.
