Hi,

Packaging and installing works fine. But the actual project structure is

+ /var/lib/my-app
   + my-app-version.jar
   + start
   + README
   + lib/<all-dependencies>

I cannot start the application as the start script searches only inside the lib folder. If I move the my-app-version.jar everything works. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to figure out the code were this is done :(

thanks,
Muki

We would like to create different packages for different deployment types for our application. The only difference between package A and package B will be a bunch of settings in application.conf. As such we have a few different application.conf files. Is there a simple way to do this now?

I see that the start script has some mechanisms for pulling from the global config, but I would prefer to do something like the following in my sbt build file with something like 'configFileToUse' below.

val PackageA = natPackSettings ++ Seq(
maintainer := "worms" ,
packageSummary := "worms package for big machines",
packageDescription := "desc",
userName := "worms",
groupName := "worms",
configFileToUse := "conf/big.application.conf")

I would then have 4 of these and use sbt to build 4 different packages.

I have some code hacked up that I can push up for perusing, but I am really not happy with it. Can you provide some direction on how you would go about it?

Thanks

It would be nice to have this project updated to the latest Scala and SBT version. This project is awesome to automatically deploy play applications.

Hi I can't load your plugin from maven central as described in the readme. I did a search for
net.kindleit.play2-native-packager-plugin in both Mvnrepository and search.maven.org without finding it. Is it published?

Would be great.

The user if indeed configurable but the group is hardcoded.

... -> format("/var/lib/%s/%s", name, pkg.getName)) withUser(name) withGroup("adm")

In worst case, the user's group should be identical,

... -> format("/var/lib/%s/%s", name, pkg.getName)) withUser(name) withGroup(name)

In best case, it should be externalized.

... -> format("/var/lib/%s/%s", name, pkg.getName)) withUser(name) withGroup(groupName)

Play 2.2 comes with sbt-native-packer out of the box.
However you have to configure everything yourself, which is not very comfortable.

Could the next version of this plugin just provide the default configuration? This would be awesome.
