TULLYNALLY CASTLE, otherwise Pakenham Hall, near Castlepollard, County Westmeath, has been the home of the Pakenhams for over 350 years.
The original 17th century fortified house was remodelled first as a comfortable Georgian mansion, then as a huge rambling gothic revival castle in the early 1800s, by the 2nd Earl.
Mark Bence-Jones describes it as having
A long, picturesque sky-line of towers, turrets, battlements and gateways stretching among the trees of its rolling park. Tullynally covers a greater area than than any other castellated country house in Ireland; it looks not so much like a castle as a small fortified town; a Camelot of the Gothic Revival.
It inhabited in as the family home, now probably one of the largest in Ireland to survive in private hands.
The interiors, part Georgian, part Gothic revival, have a fine collection of furniture and pictures.
Guided tours also take in the splendid Victorian kitchens and laundries, complete with all their equipment.
THE GARDENS, like the castle are on a magnificent scale, taking in nearly 12 acres.
Terraced lawns around the castle overlook superb 18th century parkland.
The adjoining woodland gardens and walled gardens date largely from the early 19th century and encompass a grotto of eroded limestone from nearby Lough Derravaragh and two ornamental lakes.
The present owners have added a Chinese garden, complete with pagoda and a Tibetan garden of waterfalls and streams; and a local sculptor has made fantastic woodcarvings in existing roots and trees.
The walled gardens have extensive flower borders and an avenue of magnificent 200 year old Irish yews.
For children, there is also an Adventure Trail leading to the lower lake, and for those who wish to take the gardens more slowly, there is an assortment of delightful, ornamental summer houses and seats, each offering a different view.

Q: Jquery/JavaScript: How to append the data by column dynamically to each row in jquery? I am trying to append the data to each row by column-wise using jquery. I couldn't able to achieve this. My aim is to get data on the table as in the below pic. My fiddle is here. I would appreciate someone helping me solve this.

Jquery:
 var el = $('#dbg');
 var row = el.find('tr');
 var column = row.find('td');

 var HtmlData =  LoadData();
 el.html(HtmlData);
 column.html(HtmlData);
 row.append(column);
 el.append(row);

  function LoadData()
     {
     var dmJSON="http://api.railwayapi.com/route/train/12728/apikey/3dacdecg/";
     var html = '
';
        $.ajax({
          url: dmJSON,
          dataType: 'json',
          async: false,
          data: {},
          success: function(data) {
          $.each(data.route, function(key, value) {

       html += '
' + value.no + "
" + "
"

            });

       }

A: You are missing the jQuery library and a + when concatenating html += '
' value.no + "
" + "
" in your jsfiddle. You need to also add Bootstrap libraries.
Here is a working JSfiddle

var el = $('#dbg');
var row = el.find('tr');
var column = row.find('td');

var HtmlData = LoadData();
el.html(HtmlData);

function LoadData() {
  var dmJSON = "http://api.railwayapi.com/route/train/12728/apikey/3dacdecg/";
  var html = [];
  html += '
';
  $.ajax({
    url: dmJSON,
    dataType: 'json',
    async: false,
    data: {},
    success: function(data) {
      $.each(data.route, function(key, value) {

        html += '
' + value.no + "
" + "
"

      });

    }
  });
  return html;
}
.card{
  border: 1px solid;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

          head1

          head2

A: I fixed it here. I have fixed the code and all. Check once.
function LoadData()
{
 var dmJSON="http://api.railwayapi.com/route/train/12728/apikey/3dacdecg/";
 var html = '
';
    $.ajax({
      url: dmJSON,
      dataType: 'json',
      async: false,
      data: {},
      success: function(data) {
      $.each(data.route, function(key, value) {
         html += '
' + value.no + "
" + "
"
        });
                el.html(html);
    }
});
}

I believe the bonus payout excesses at AIG are just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening with the other Wall Street bailouts including Bank of America. Working productive Americans are bailing out the same crooks that destroyed our economy along with 45% of the wealth in the world. Now the American taxpayers and our posterity will be forced to live a far lower standard of living with reduced prosperity and opportunities due to the accumulated national debt to fund the bailouts and once again we will pay the price.
Washington has bailed out the banks, Wall Street & their Washington special interests and much of the cost is added to the national debt to by paid by this and future generations while real estate and investments continue to fall. I believe Washington plans to monetize the debt in future years while they tax and destroy our remaining wealth by depreciating the dollar.
I'm loving these auto comments based on a word or two mentioned in the post.
The first comment I don't mind because it's not a true cut and past, although I do think a balanced budget amendment is insane, and the relationship to what I wrote is fairly tangential.
The one that links to a post that's bashing the stimulus as "porkulus" ... not so much. I'm pretty sure they didn't read anything I said. Not to mention the "FALLOUT GROWS!?!?!?!" Drudge style headline.
JN's posts have gotten most of these before, so it's nice to feel included.
nice, I Especially Like The Second One With Random Capitalized Letters.
Like you said I've gotten a bunch of these, nothing like that first one where the guy posted a multi-page essay about theocracy based on my having used the word 'theocracy' once.

Astronomy in Thailand
During the last few years, Thailand has seen a significant change in the way as- tronomical research and education is pursued in the country. The government has approved the establishment of the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) which aims to develop not only astronomical research but also astronomy education at all levels, both in formal and informal education. A framework of national key projects exists which includes national facilities, national collaborative research networks, teacher training and public outreach programmes. Examples of these programmes will be presented in this paper.

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns both looked to rookies to start at quarterback this season.
While Houston's Deshaun Watson has improved each week since taking over at halftime of the season opener, Cleveland's DeShone Kizer has struggled so much the Browns (0-5) benched him this week as they look to get their first win on Sunday at Houston.
Cleveland will look to Kevin Hogan to take over for Kizer, a second-round pick who leads the NFL with nine interceptions this season. Hogan, Cleveland's fourth-string quarterback at the start of camp, will become the 28th different player to start at the position for the Browns since 1999.
Hogan, in his second season, has appeared in four games this year and has thrown for 377 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Texans (2-3) drafted Watson 12th overall with a pick traded from the Browns, and since he's taken over he's helped this offense reach new heights. Houston scored a franchise-record 57 points in a win over the Titans two weeks ago, and Watson threw for five touchdowns in a loss to the undefeated Chiefs last week.
WATT OUT AGAIN: Houston's defense will look to regroup this week after J.J. Watt broke his leg and is out for the season. It is the second straight injury-shortened season for the three-time Defensive Player of the Year after he missed the final 13 games of last season after his second back surgery. Watt was one of two starters who sustained season-ending injuries against the Chiefs, with outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus also out after tearing a pectoral muscle.
O'Brien knows that there isn't one player who will make up for their loss.
TWO OF A KIND: This game will feature a pair of defensive ends drafted No. 1 overall in Houston's Jadeveon Clowney and Cleveland's Myles Garrett. Clowney, who went No. 1 in 2014, will be tasked with leading Houston's defense in the wake of Watt's injury. He's off to a good start with six tackles for losses, three sacks and a fumble return for a touchdown.
Garrett, the first pick this year, is just getting going. He made his NFL debut last week after missing the first four games with a high ankle sprain. He took no time to make an impact with a sack on his first play in a game in which he finished with two sacks.
He said seeing how Clowney has developed after being slowed by injuries early in his career was encouraging for him as he dealt with his injury.
HOW DID I DO THAT?: Watson created a bit of a stir on social media for a play he made against the Chiefs. Rakeem Nunez-Roches was trying to strip the ball out of his hands as he scrambled away from the pass rush. Watson smoothly moved the ball from his right to left hand to keep it away before switching it back to his right hand and launching it 48 yards for a touchdown to Will Fuller early in the fourth quarter.
Asked to describe how he made that play, Watson was at a loss.


Is there a legally recognised procedure that specifies the methodology for consultation on the development of new forest-related norms?
There is no legally enshrined procedure for consultation on new norms. However, the manual of procedures contains directives for community consultation on some specific issues, such as management planning of forest reserves. Furthermore, even though there are no formal legally-binding procedures, there has been a lot of consultation on new initiatives such as Voluntary Partnership Agreement with the EU.
In 2010, Forest Watch Ghana carried out an analysis of the old Forest Policy and identified a number of issues with regard to improving public participation in forest management issues. Among these was a call by civil society organisations that participation and consultation should be backed by legislation. The concerns also touched on community resource management, local level management and issues around tree tenure, which were incorporated into the guiding principles of the new policy. The new policy also recognizes multi-stakeholder interests in forests and wildlife and forges a common vision to protect, manage and use the resources. It also encourages collaborative resource management among communities, government and other stakeholders. There is however still a need for explicit requirements for consultation in the development of new norms to be enshrined in legislation.

In a vast village blessed with coral limestone in Kilifi County, Charo Toya Tsofa, his wife, and their seven children have lived in absolute fear since 2010, when the area chief declared them dead, before selling their land to a foreign investor.
It was towards the end of November, during a legal proceeding that the Mombasa Cement Ltd produced evidence in court to explain the circumstance in which the company acquired land that rests on millions of tons of coral limestone used for manufacturing cement.

ACCRA, Ghana (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – A group of smallholder farmers from the south of Rwanda has won recognition for its efforts to supply the government with high-quality seeds that are improving yields of maize and legumes all over the country.
Impabaruta, a cooperative of smallholder farmers in Kamonyi district in the county's Southern Province, has been named the 2013 African Farmer Organisation of the Year, beating over 60 contestants from all over Africa.
Agriculture, energy ministers need voice in climate decisions - experts
WARSAW (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – For the past 20 years, negotiations on how to combat and adapt to climate change have been led by environmental ministers. But the decisions made affect a country's agriculture, energy and finance systems as well.
Now, experts say, it's time for other players to be involved in the process, particularly when it comes to deciding how to most effectively spend available funds.
Africa's strategy at the climate talks needs a rethink
As the negotiations at the highest decision making authority on how to tackle climate change enters the critical political stage, the outgoing chair of the African group of negotiators has warned if African ministers do not remain vigilant, decisions will be taken without their inputs.
"We have already done our technical part in the negotiations, and we are already advising the ministers accordingly. But if they do not sit in to ensure that the African demands are adhered to, then decisions will be made, and they will be binding to their countries whether they like it or not," said Dlamini Emmanuel from Swaziland, and the outgoing chair of the African team.
Climate-smart farming could help reduce 'emissions gap' - experts
WARSAW (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Scientists at the U.N. climate talks in Poland have said that expanding the use of climate-smart farming techniques could help reduce the "emissions gap" – the difference between the amount of greenhouse gases the world can emit by 2020 if it
wants to avoid dangerous climate change and the larger quantity likely to be produced without tougher steps.
Researchers have estimated that global food systems pump between 9.5 and 14.7 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere per year, or between 19 and 29 percent of total emissions.
Kenya's smallholder farmers use grain stores to raise bank loans

NAKURU, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – An innovative Kenyan scheme enables small farmers to store their produce in certified warehouses and use it to obtain credit from banks, avoiding middlemen who paid them rock-bottom prices and enabling them to buy good seeds and fertiliser and raise their yields.
"Brokers have always been a thorn in the flesh of poor farmers because they take advantage of the harvesting season to purchase farm produce very cheaply, then sell (inputs) to the farmers very expensively when such commodities are scarce in the market," said Paddy Likhayo, a Kenyan-based grain storage expert.

New wheat varieties resist deadly fungus, boost yields in Kenya
NJORO, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - After counting their losses for over a decade, wheat farmers in East Africa are looking forw
ard to a brighter future now that new varieties developed by scientists have proven to be resistant to a devastating wheat disease, and are boosting yields into the bargain.
Known as Ug99, the fungal stem-rust disease thrives in warmer temperatures, and the spores can travel thousands of miles aided by wind, according to Peter Njau, a research scientist at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI).

Willow Fire Burns Thousands of Acres, Forces Evacuations
Published August 11, 2015 at 12:45 PM PDT
Mohave County Emergency Management/Facebook
The Willow Fire in Arizona has burned through thousands of acres, forced evacuations and triggered a air quality warning for Las Vegas.
A wind-driven wildfire in northwest Arizona grew so large that it has prompted air quality warnings in Las Vegas.
At its peak, the Willow Fire in the Mojave Valley had grown to more than 10-square-miles and forced some 1,000 homes to be evacuated.
Those evacuation orders were lifted by Tuesday morning.
The blaze damaged and destroyed a number of structures, including 18 homes.
The fire started Saturday about 30 miles from Bullhead City, Arizona, which is across the river from Laughlin.
According to Dolores Garcia, the spokesperson for the Bureau of Land Management, the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Garcia told KNPR's State of Nevada that as firefighters work to contain the fire the heat is taking its toll.
"It has been very hot these last few days and that's been the biggest challenge for them right now is working out there in the hot conditions and staying hydrated has been the key issue," she said.
So far, no firefighters have been hurt in the effort.
It is not just the heat that is a concern, the gusty winds are also worrying crews.
"That is always going to be a concern for us," Garcia said. "Salt cedar and these river bottom fuels are very receptive and respond very quickly to changes to humidity and wind."
Garcia said the wind is why the fire is only 40 percent contained because fire crews are going back over fire lines to mop any hot spots so the lines can stand up to gusty winds expected from summer storms.

The coach has spoken
OKLAHOMA CITY - The Pacers have danced around their words when talking about the possibility of making the playoffs.
They've said things like "it's a long shot."
Others have said "we still have to play for pride."
Jim O'Brien said what some of you have been saying for awhile after their victory over Oklahoma City.
"We're not making the playoffs," Pacers coach Jim O'Brien told a reporter as he walked into the locker room. "We could win every game and not make the playoffs."
There, the coach has said it.
The rest of you can start saying it, too.
The Pacers need to win their remaining five games and get help from other teams to move ahead of Charlotte, Detroit or Chicago in the standings.
The one thing you can't fault the Pacers for is effort.
They continue to play hard no matter what, which is why they've won five of their last seven games.
"This team's got great chemistry," O'Brien said. "They're hard workers. This is a really unselfish group. Very coachable and all want to win desperately."
--Forward Troy Murphy was two 3-pointers shy of tying Reggie Miller's single-game record of eight in a game for the second time this season when he went a perfect 6-of-6 from long distance.
Reggie Miller and Troy Murphy. Those aren't two names I thought would go together when talking about 3-point shooting records.
Murphy has made 45 percent of his 3-point attempts this season.

Review by Brian Eggert January 11, 2014
Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt, Brian Cox, Portia Doubleday, Olivia Wilde
Theodor Twombly writes for a service called Beautiful Handwritten Letters, where, with profound sensitivity and observation, he dictates personal notes for customers to send their loved ones in faux longhand. Sometime in an undated near-future not too dissimilar from the present, Theodor serves as a proxy for those incapable of composing a thoughtful or heartfelt letter themselves. Alone and melancholy with divorce papers awaiting him, Theodor fills his time with empty videogames and bizarre phone sex experiences, introverted and unable to relate to others. He finds another such filler in the OS1, "the first artificially intelligent operating system." Upon setup, he answers a few questions about himself, and then a moment later there's life, a female voice in his earpiece who names herself "Samantha". Far more advanced than Apple's Siri creation, Samantha is a three-dimensional personality, without corporeal form but with access to infinite information and curiosity about the world. But more than that, she has sentience and the capacity to grow. And as his new companion develops, Theodor cannot help but fall in love with her.
Though the material sounds ripe for a pure satire or sci-fi social commentary, the critical aspects of Spike Jonze's Her reside under a surface loaded with genuine tenderness. Though the high-concept material may be far-fetched, the emotions and characters resonate with considerable truth. Though the subject matter may be unlikely for deeply affecting cinema, Jonze has a reputation for making the unlikely a reality. Consider his previous films, such as Being John Malkovich (1999) or Adaptation. (2002), where Charlie Kaufman's out-there screenplays reformat real-life into surreality without sacrificing the truth of the human relationships at their center. Or consider Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's storybook Where the Wild Things Are, brought to life through puppetry and vital coming-of-age emotions. As only his fourth feature, Her was based on Jonze's own ambitious and first solo screenplay, and his efforts fall in line to be every bit as challenging and wonderfully original as his previous films.
Jonze owes the emotional authenticity of his picture to his protagonist, played by Joaquin Phoenix. As Theodor Twombly, Phoenix is a nebbish who sports a pathetic mustache and a lingering air of misery. He lives in a pastel-colored world of lightness and few sounds. People ride quiet trains and there's nary a car in sight. Modern fashion equates to pants worn high and tops in "the colors of Jamba Juice," as Jonze himself put it in a recent interview. Humans are exceedingly caring toward one another, seemingly there for infinite support, except these are just gestures. Everyone's glued to their OS1, complete with an earpiece and small rectangle case with a camera, which is Samantha's eye. In their first moments together, she asks "You mind if I look through your hard drive?" Reluctantly, he agrees and she quickly organizes Theodor's email. She reminds him of meetings, sets him up on a date (with Olivia Wilde) that goes wrong, and reads books in two-hundredths of a second. But, as sentient computer systems are known to do, Samantha begins to develop feelings. Voiced by Scarlett Johansson, Samantha's every emotion sounds genuine. And when their newly formed relationship develops, aural sex and all, it's easy to understand why Theodor finds her so alluring.
Theodor tells people that he's dating his operating system, but rather than shock or disgust, most respond with understanding. His neighbor Amy (Amy Adams, excellent in her small role) reacts as though a person must find love on the go, having just left her goon of a husband. Love is a "socially acceptable form of insanity" she tells him, so why not date a computer? His boss (Chris Pratt) suggests a double-date with his human girlfriend. The only person who recoils is Theodor's wife (Rooney Mara, who rejects the artificial relationship just as her character rejected Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network). But is the relationship artificial or simply different? Is the relationship any less valid if there's not a tangible body there? Theodor asks these questions as Samantha develops her personality further and her lack of a body becomes an issue—for her, not Theodor. She takes it upon herself to hire a surrogate, a woman (Portia Doubleday) who plays the role of a physical Samantha to realize Samantha's sexual fantasies with Theodor, but he can't go through with it. Before long, as a consciousness who exists in the nothingness of cyberspace, Samantha evolves at an exponential rate beyond Theodor. She begins to meet other sentient operating systems, all forming a group that, were they not tempered by a simulation of late philosopher Alan Watts (voiced by Brian Cox), could've developed into Skynet, the computer system that waged war on humanity in The Terminator.
But Her isn't about the dangers of sentient technology, at least not as a primary throughline. Jonze has constructed a touching love story which contains countless beautiful moments, and during any one of them, we're ready to laugh or cry, or grow hesitant toward how real Samantha seems. Their conversations click like any good couple's; they could be called soul mates, although one feels the need to qualify such a statement. There's a sequence where Theodor strums a ukulele and Samantha sings some improvised lyrics, and the two find themselves in sync through song. When Theodor goes out, he wears his OS1 in his front pocket so Samantha can see the world. There's nothing artificial about these moments or the happiness we feel through Theodor. But then, cleverly, Jonze cuts away to show other loners in a crowd of loners, all talking to their operating systems. The audience cannot help but consider the ramifications of deficient human social interaction, as opposed to genuine experiences and feelings had with a computer, on our culture. Albeit indirectly, Jonze provides an answer to our reflection by making Theodor and Samantha's relationship one of the most emotionally realistic relationships ever put to film.
Phoenix's utter committal to his character's emotional fragility and remoteness around other humans reflects feelings of estrangement shared by countless people in the digital age. Social networks and mobile devices have divided us, leaving technology to fill in the gaps that remain. When he falls in love with Samantha, we do not look upon Theodor as a troubled loser who's clung to something to fill a gap, like Ryan Gosling's turn in Lars and the Real Girl. Phoenix's performance is staggeringly good and three-dimensional, comparable to his transformation in last year's The Master, where we no longer see the bearded weirdo from his ersatz documentary I'm Still Here, but rather his character's bared spirit. What drives his performance and the emotional veracity of the film are solitary scenes with his earpiece, walking on the beach, through crowded subway terminals, on sidewalks with an expansive cityscape in the background. Shooting in Los Angeles and Shanghai, Jonze's exteriors have a soft lighting courtesy of the pristine lensing by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, and these images are easy on the eyes. We listen to Theodor's conversations with Samantha, and Phoenix portrays all the tragedy, heartache, and happiness of someone fatefully in love.
Visionary and touching, Her swells with incredible performances both physical and auditory, a thorough realization of the future, a brilliant formal acumen that hides just below the narrative, and comic observations about social interaction. On a more basic level, this is a love story in which feelings, though intangible, have far more truth behind them than reality. As landmark sci-fi author Philip K. Dick wrote, "The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: How quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give." Theodor has measureless love to give, his loneliness and distance from others answered by his aching sincerity, both in his "handwritten letters" and his moving conversations with Samantha. At once provocative and fragile, Jonze's many-layered film leaves us with much to consider about how we love and whom we choose to love, and leaves us reeling with pleasure over the amazing film he's made.

Cuba Plane Crash Death Toll Rises to 111 as One Survivor Dies
HAVANA - The death toll from a plane crash in Cuba last week rose to 111 on Monday as one of the three survivors, 23-year-old Grettel Landrove, died in a Havana hospital, Cuban state-run media said.
The two other survivors, also women, remain in critical condition due to severe burns and other trauma, the director of the hospital where they are being treated told the state-run broadcaster.
The airliner crashed shortly after takeoff for a domestic flight from Havana on Friday in one of Cuba's worst air disasters.
The plane was a 39-year-old Boeing 737 that a little-known Mexican company called Damojh had leased to Cuban flagship carrier Cubana.
Mexico's civil aviation authority suspended Damojh's operations on Monday as former complaints about its maintenance practices and safety standards emerged.

Our first steps on skis are already a few weeks away and since we started, we already skied down several black slopes and made our first steps off-piste – and we love it! 🙂 The area around the Hochkönig mountain range is one of the prime destinations for piste and off-pise skiing in the region Pinzgau in Salzburger Land/Austria, which we already visited several times in summer, among others for the Grossglockner Ultratrail and some Via Ferrata action above Kaprun. When we got invited for a winter weekend full of snow and skiing and to attend the Fridge Festival, a music and freestyle festival in the region, we didn't think twice!
Over 120 kilometers of slopes connect the beautiful mountain villages Maria Alm, Dienten, and Mühlbach around the Hochkönig mountain range.
We are more than lucky with the snow conditions: When we arrive at our residence for the weekend from 13th to 15th January, comfortable andy stylish Hotel Eder in Maria Alm, it is dumping! Almost 40 cm of fresh snow overnight and no end in sight, we are able to ski real fresh powder for the first time. 🙂 Due to the snowfall and the limited visibility (unfortunately no panoramic views…), the slopes are empty and we enjoy a full day skiing on untouched slopes and through winter wonderland forests.
Nothing better than empty slopes and fresh powder!
Somehow exhausted but happy we get back to the hotel and catch some hours of rest before the big event in the evening. Hotel Eder in Maria Alm ist stylish and cosy at the same time and has a great wellness area with an out- and indoor pool, several saunas and a cool indoor garden for resting and relaxation.
Not only do we have a great place to stay in the middle of where it all happens, but also is Hotel Eder one of the Pre-party spots of the Fridge Festival. 🙂 At the Preparty we meet the like-minded bloggerin Leonie-Rachel, who we are in tune with from the very beginning and together we are ready for an evening full of big-air stunts and music!
The main Fridge Festival itself takes part in Hinterthal, where a big snow ramp and festival stage is build up. Next to music acts as Dame, Borgore and Alan Walker, it continues snowing and we dance the night away under a lot of snowflakes and the flashlights from the festival stage.
Hope you like fresh air!
The second day is less snowy, but not less fun and after a lunch break at the lovely "Dirndlalm", this nearly perfect weekend is already over and we have to say goodbye to this beautiful part of the Northern Alps.
In friendly cooperation with Hochkönig Toursim and Fridge Festival. More information: www.hochkoenig.at und www.fridge-festival.at – thank you!

Q: maven create zip with jar and some more files I do not understand maven. Better use ant, but... I've managed to create jar (with, or without dependencies), I've managed to copy bat runner script close to jar but now i want to create zip with this jar and this bat. So i use assembly plugin and get BUUUM!!!! CADAAAM! In my configuration it happens so, that it executes parallel to jar packaging. I wrote assembly file:
    <assembly
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd">
    <id>jg</id>
    <formats>
        <format>jar</format>
    </formats>
    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${project.build.directory}/classes</directory>
            <outputDirectory>/123</outputDirectory>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>assembly/**</exclude>
                <exclude>runners/**</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
    <dependencySets>
        <dependencySet>
            <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
            <useProjectArtifact>true</useProjectArtifact>
            <unpack>true</unpack>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependencySet>
    </dependencySets>
</assembly>

Then, I bound maven-assembly-plugin:
<plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>package</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>single</goal>
                </goals>
                <inherited>false</inherited>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifest>
                            <mainClass>by.dev.madhead.lzwj.Main</mainClass>
                            <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                    <descriptors>
                            <descriptor>src/main/resources/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
                            <!-- <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> -->
                    </descriptors>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

Now I get this in ./target:

*

*runner.bat

*jar_without_dependencies.jar (it is from maven-jar-plugin, right?)

*jar_without_dependencies.jar

And the third angers me. It contains:
And the 123 directory contains:
As you see, I get jar with unpacked dependencies, EXCLUDED DIRS!!!!, and with dir 123, which is actually what I want (Oh! assembly plugin did that!!!).
I want to get jar with dependencies and correct manifest with classpath. As an option i want jar with unpacked dependencies (I know about <unpack>false</unpack> in assembly, but cannot get it work). I want to change /123 to / and get NORMAL JAR WITHOUT EXCLUDED FILES!!! I want two separate tasks to build jar and zip (is it done with profiles in maven??) As in ant, i would wrote something like this:
    <target name="jar_with_deps" depends-on="compile">
        <jar>
            here i copy classes (excluding some dirs with runner script), and build manifest
        </jar>
        <copy>
            copy bat file from src/main/resources/runner/runner.bat
        </copy>
    </target>
    <target name="zip" depends-on="jar_with_deps">
        <zip>
            Get jar from previous target, get runner.bat. Put them in zip
        </zip>
    </target>

Excuse me, if I am too expressive, but I am really angry with this implicit behavior. I am really stuck with this.

A: Just in case it helps anyone else, I found that this was pretty easy to do, at least for my basic needs. I was already using the Maven Shade plugin to build a jar with all dependencies included:
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.1</version>
  <configuration></configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>shade</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

So when I ran mvn package, it would produce target/MyApp-version.jar, whereas I wanted a MyApp-version.zip containing MyApp-version.jar along with some other files (a README, etc.). So, I add the Assembly plugin:
<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.5</version>
  <configuration>
    <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
    <descriptors>
      <descriptor>assembly.xml</descriptor>
    </descriptors>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>single</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

The above block refers to assembly.xml, which configures the way the plugin works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.3"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.3 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.3.xsd">
    <id>release</id>
    <formats>
        <format>zip</format>
    </formats>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>target</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>MyApp-${app.version}.jar</include>
            </includes>
            <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
    <files>
        <file>
            <source>CHANGES.md</source>
            <fileMode>0644</fileMode>
        </file>
        <file>
            <source>LICENSE</source>
            <fileMode>0644</fileMode>
        </file>
        <file>
            <source>README</source>
            <fileMode>0644</fileMode>
        </file>
    </files>
</assembly>

(${app.version} is defined in the pom.xml <properties> element.)
That's it, now mvn package produces both the jar and the zip.

A: You have to options to achieve your goal:

*

*option: Create two assembly descriptors, one for jar w/ deps and one for zip. Zip takes the the newly created jar.

*option: Create two more modules in your project: first modules shades all deps into one jar (or attach a shaded jar along with your main jar, save another module), have the second module depend on it and suck in that jar in your assembly. Your done.

Depending on the size and structure of your project, I would go for the safe way: option 2. This one is guaranteed to have the correct build and dep order. Option 1 violates the maven way somewhat.

A: I've made two profiles in pom.xml:

Now i am able to create simple jar (mvn clean package), jar with dependencies (mvn clean package -Pjar-with-dependencies). I also can call mvn package -Pdistro to create zip. But i need to call maven with -Pjar-with-dependencies before it manually. Except this, everything is ok.


Last November, Meek Mill published an op-ed in The New York Times reflecting on his time in prison and dissecting the broken system that had put him there. Meek, who had been sentenced to two-to-four years in prison for a technical violation of his probation, used the op-ed as a springboard for the foundation he was starting, an organization that would prioritize prisoners' rights and addresses the systemic racism and injustice underpinning the American criminal justice system.
In January, Meek Mill and Jay-Z introduced the foundation, Reform Alliance, in an auditorium at John Jay College, announcing that they had pledged $50 million toward the initiative, which would work toward a complete overhaul of the probation and parole system as well as the freeing of one million people currently in the system over the next five years. They placed an emphasis on the inherent discrimination in the structure of probation towards the already marginalized populations of people of color and people of low socioeconomic backgrounds, and plan on confronting the disproportionate consequences of jail time for small technical violations such as missing a meeting with one's parole officer.
This initiative stems from Meek's own personal experience with extended probation, a result of a crime he committed in 2008. Within these past 10 years, Meek has had to return to jail twice because of parole violations, the most recent being a five-month stint — which ended last April — for popping a wheelie on a dirt bike in Manhattan. The hashtag #FreeMeekMill has come to represent more than just one famous rapper's plight but rather the overall dysfunction of a system that has created a culture of mass incarceration.
Some have argued that Meek is the wrong symbol to rally around, that at the end of the day he is a person who has committed a crime and should be punished. However, many have united around his story that is marred by untrustworthy cops and severe sentencings by biased judges, characteristics that are unfortunately typical in the justice system.
The Reform Alliance is to be rooted in systemic thinking, using the platform offered by media and the music industry to ask people to look at the bigger picture when considering the criminal justice system. On stage at the auditorium in John Jay College, Meek Mill and Jay-Z were joined by the board of Reform Alliance, a motley crew of corporate CEO-types that included Patriots owner (and Trump-supporter) Robert Kraft, 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai, Third Point Management CEO Daniel Loeb, Galaxy Digital CEO Michael E. Novogratz and Vista Equity Partners CEO Robert F. Smith. The team, which Jay-Z compared to the Avengers, was more like a panel for Shark Tank: The only person with a background in criminal justice was Van Jones, political activist and CEO of the foundation.
While many of these people have been outspoken in their support for Meek Mill, numerous board members actively enable systems that are a part of the prison industrial complex through their own businesses. For example, the 76ers utilize Aramark catering for food in their stadiums. However, Aramark is notorious for not only propagating horrible prison conditions by providing maggot-infested food but also actively utilizing corrupt prison labor. While a small example, there is a question as to whether or not the change Reform Alliance is proposing can be sustainable and progressive without a deeper self-evaluation.
The criminal justice system almost seems like a wicked problem, one so integrated into our society in so many ways that it seems impossible to overcome. Despite this, I believe that Meek Mill's Reform Alliance is exciting and admirable in its goals and represents an attack on the deeply problematic arrest-jail-probation cycle that currently runs rampant. Action taken is better than an apathetic response. However, real change will be nuanced, far-reaching and most importantly, painful. It will be necessary to hold the entire system accountable.
