I will find out.
Other possible maven stuff to think about after this are:
- Downloading dependent jars (if present) from maven repository.
- Using maven as a system for components a bit like it is used for GF 3
HK2. We have components, for example that implement EntityProvider,
and currently a developer implementing an EntityProvider has to add
the concrete provider to the file:
META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.EntityProvider
We may be able to provide some tooling support via maven to automate
this process.
Paul.
