I have written an application in Java that can be used on both Linux and Windows. Currently by running mvn package
, my maven build system will generate a .msi using WiX.
Is there a way of creating two package ‘tasks’ so I can say either mvn package-windows or
mvn package-linux`

If you want to package both versions (Linux and Windows), you can bind your mvn package phase to an extra phase that would build another artifact.
... <plugin> <groupId>org.group.extra</groupId> <artifactId>extra-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4</version> <executions> <execution> [...] </configuration> <goals> <goal>package</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ...
It was probably what you have already done with maven-wix-plugin.
