VDB Maven Plugin

A Maven PlugIn to build a VDB file. Thorntail only allows ZIP archive based artifact deployment when a VDB needs to be deployed with Thorntail Teiid. This Maven plugin has packaging type of "vdb" can be defined in a pom.xml as

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>teiid-demo</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>vdb</packaging>

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.teiid</groupId>
      <artifactId>vdb-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.2</version>
      <extensions>true</extensions>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>test</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>vdb</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <!-- your configuration here -->
            <!-- 
            <vdbXmlFile>path/to/vdbfile</vdbXmlFile> <!-- optional -->
            <vdbFolder>path/to/vdbfile</vdbFolder> <!-- optional -->
            -->
          </configuration>          
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

The default vdbXMLFile is set to "${basedir}/src/main/vdb/META-INF/vdb.xml", if this file is available, then it this file is used as the VDB file. If this file is not there then code will look into vdbFolder directory and scan for -vdb.xml files in this folder. Default vdbFolder value is ${basedir}/src/main/vdb.

You can also include other files in this VDB archive too such as supporting .ddl files. Create sub-directories under vdbFolder and place them there. If your VDB does import other VDBs, then define those VDBs as dependencies in this project. For ex:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.example</groupId>
  <artifactId>another-vdb</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <type>vdb</type>
</dependency>

When it finds the -vdb.xml file, it will wrap it in Zip archive with .vdb extension and marks it as artifact of the build process.
