GlassFish 3 + Maven + remote deploy

Question

I couldn\'t find any clear answer about how to deploy simple Maven based project to remote GlassFish server via maven like

mvn package xxx:deploy

Answer 1

As far as I know and could find around, only Cargo delivers (or deploys, in this case).

This is an example tested as working on a Maven OSGi WAR project:

     
        ...
        
            org.codehaus.cargo
            cargo-maven2-plugin
            1.1.2
            
                
                    glassfish3x
                    remote
                
                
                    runtime
                    
                        myhostname
                        myusername
                        mypassword
                    
                 
            
            
                
                    org.glassfish.deployment
                    deployment-client
                    3.2-b06
                
            
        
    

As you can see, the trick lies in the deployment-client dependency.

For the sake of completeness, you then just mvn package cargo:deploy and Bob's your uncle.
