I have implemented a simliar approach in my private workspace. I have
* a mojo that parses wiki pages xml files for #include and #attach
directives (allows storing attachments in it's original form in SCM).
The result is written into target/resources.
* the normal xar packaging reads the xml files from target/resources,
creates the packaging.xml and creates the xar file.
* I have extended the rest interface by a xar import/export feature.
* I have an mojo that deploys the created xar via the rest interface.
It works quite well. I am working with eclipse. Via the external tool
configuration I can deploy the xar directly from the IDE.
If someone is interrested I can contribute the code.
For me an ideal solution would be an extended XAR file, that can contain
wiki pages (xml), java classes (with @Component annotations) and
frontend resources (javascript, GWT, ...). Such a XAR file should be
deployable via the rest interface. On the maven layer it should be an
normal jar packaging project with additional resources (wiki pages,
attachments).
