[Hyperic-hq-discuss] SIGAR w/ maven 2 - how to handle native libs with java.library.path

[Brian L. <blu...@gm...>]

Hi folks, having some issues building maven and SIGAR using the native libs.  

Any ideas on how to create a custom .pom file and set any necessary config values to have maven create a build with SIGAR bundled and point itself to the proper native libs as well?

Ultimately what I'd like to do is create a .war file (or .jar) that has the .dylib/.so native extensions bundled inside, however this may not be possible.  If not, what is the best way to set the java.library.path value for maven builds?

Here's a snippet of what I'm doing here in the .pom file:


      <!-- need to copy/unzip the SIGAR native libraries to the target directory and tell SIGAR where they are -->
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
            <configuration>
              <tasks>
                 <echo>SIGAR java library version used is ${sigar.version}</echo>
                 <echo>Copying/unzipping SIGAR native libraries (version ${sigar.version}) to local build directory</echo>
                 <mkdir dir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar" />
                 <copy toDir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar">
                    <fileset dir="${settings.localRepository}/org/hyperic/sigar-dist/${sigar.version}" includes="*.zip" />
                 </copy>
                 <unzip dest="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar">
                    <fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar" includes="*.zip" />
                    <patternset>
                       <include name="**/lib/sigar.jar" />
                       <include name="**/lib/bcel*.jar" />
                       <include name="**/lib/*.so" />
                       <include name="**/lib/*.sl" />
                       <include name="**/lib/*.dll" />
                       <include name="**/lib/*.dylib" />
                    </patternset>
                 </unzip>
                 <move todir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar" flatten="true">
                    <fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar">
                       <include name="**/lib/*" />
                    </fileset>
                 </move>
                 <delete dir="${project.build.directory}/jboss-sigar/hyperic-sigar-${sigar.version}" />
              </tasks>
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>



Can you let me know how you folks are handling this? Thanks!
