The real reference is http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building which explain how to use maven. "Building in Eclipse" is just an alternative and as so is at the end of the documentation. > > Rookie question #2: > Once i install maven manually and run 'mvn install' from command line as > you say - will the IDE reflect all > the results of the build process - that is after refreshing all the Java > errors that became apparent after importing from maven would disappear ? What I really said is that you don't need to do mvn install at all except if you want to distribute the result. If all you want is java error/warning and run unit tests etc... just let Eclipse take care of it, that's what M2Eclipse is for. > > Rookie question #3: > Is it advisable to just copy and paste an .m2 repository to another > workstation (other VM) to save there the long repository download times ? Yep you can copy .m2 repositories and indeed to avoid having to download a lot of stuff. > > - im still learning - > > thanks > Andreas > > > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
