is there a pip install plugin for maven?

Question

In an existing java project that uses python (think python plugin for libre office)

would like to use mvn to install a pypi (Python Package Index). Right now we have the solution to package the tar in mvn and then use maven-dependency-plugin to unpack and maven-antrun-plugin to move the files into the python path (the libre office python path).

Any suggestions on a better way to manage this on Linux and Windows? Ideally it would be as simple as a maven plugin for pypi.

thanks for any input.

I don't know if a maven plugin that can install pip package exist. But what you could do is use the maven-exec plug-in to invoke pip on a specific goal. Here is the documentation on the exec plug-in http://www.mojohaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/usage.html Hope it helped
