## EasyPack Maven Plugin

EasyPack Maven Plugin facilitates the distribution of Java applications in **tar**, **zip** and **tar.gz** formats.

The plugin introduces three new packaging types for using instead of the standard jar and war options. The final artifact is a tar, zip or tar.gz archive that includes the java application.

The pom will look like:

``` xml
com.my-company
my-app
1.0-SNAPSHOT
jtar
```
``` xml
com.my-company
my-app
1.0-SNAPSHOT
jzip
```

``` xml
com.my-company
my-app
1.0-SNAPSHOT
jtargz
```

### Features

* _**Java applications in tar, zip or tar.gz**_: the final artifact is in tar, zip or tar.gz format.

* _**Start and stop script creation**_: start and stops scripts for linux and/or windows are automatically created.

* _**Dependency management**_: the project dependencies are automatically included in the final artifact.

* _**No deploy of useless artifacts**_: the jar or war file generated by the standard packagings, is not deployed in the Maven repository as only one artifact, in the required format, is created.

In the [Usage](https://github.com/easypack/easypack-maven-plugin/wiki/Usage) page there is a full explanation of how to use the plugin.

### Not yet released but
