Re: Workarounds for down repos?
Create a local (ie Intranet) repository, to store all the dependencies you need. Maven-proxy (http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/) is a good tool for this, although in my experience it was a little bit of a hassle to get working properly.

Re: [ANN] Free Maven 2 Book now available: Better Builds with Maven
Just wanted to add my 2p by saying thanks very much for providing this book! It is by far the most comprehensive and easy-to-read documentation regarding Maven that I've found to date, and I would highly recommend it for anyone that's starting with Maven or struggling to get to grips with the core aspects! Cheers!

Re: Maven and CVS branches ...
I thought it was possible in a POM (at least in Maven 2), if you just specify the branch name in the tag section of the scm node? See http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.3-SNAPSHOT/maven-model/maven.html#class_scm or does that only work for just CVS tags?

Re: Internal (intranet) repositories
Hi EJ,
Apologies if this has already been suggested (I've already deleted most of
this thread), but have you tried adding the following to a file named
settings.xml in your ${user.home}\.m2 directory (e.g. C:\documents and
settings\gareth\.m2\settings.xml):
settings
mirrors
mirror
idmy-repo/id
nameInternal mirror of http://build.corp.upromise.com/mavenrepository
/name
urlhttp://build.corp.upromise.com/mavenrepository/url
mirrorOfcentral/mirrorOf
/mirror
/mirrors
/settings
?
If you do that you shouldn't have to add anything to project POM (although
it does rely on each user having a settings.xml with these settings in
it).
Specifying the location of web.xml in the POM
Hi, I'm playing around with an old project in Maven, trying to see how to upgrade our current build scripts. Unfortunately we do not use the recommended directory structures, therefore I've specified an alternate sourceDirectory (sourceDirectorysrc/sourceDirectory) and outputDirectory (outputDirectoryclasses/outputDirectory) in the project's POM. This particular artifact is a WAR, therefore it needs to include the web.xml from a directory named webapp which is located in the same directory as the src directory. How do I specify this in the POM? Is it a resource? Thanks, Gareth
Re: Quick explanation requested
Hi, You would only have an app stored on ibiblio if you were willing to distribute your application (along with the source), and as long as your application's licensing is compatible with this. AFAIK there are no safeguards on ibiblio. It's a publicly-browsable repository which people can use to retrieve code on which their own application relies. I would guess that you don't need to upload your application to ibiblio anyway. Perhaps you're confusing ibiblio with creating your own internal repository, the latter of which you COULD upload your own applications for internal downloads, etc.? Cheers, Gareth On 3/31/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd appreciate if someone can shed some light on 2 points. 1) Why is it a good idea to have a complete app stored on ibiblio including source?

Re: Quick explanation requested
Well, once you have set up an internal repository, Maven can do anything that it does with a normal repository. Some of the benefits of having an internal repository are: 1) Faster downloads / Less use of your own Internet bandwidth 2) Machines that may not have access to the Internet might still be able to access your internal one 3) You can easily add your own artifacts / artifacts that may not yet be available on ibiblio or another public repository, such as some of the Sun Jars, or alternative versions. There is some documentation regarding repositories at http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html Maven-Proxy is a very useful tool for setting up an internal repository. It's available from http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/. I've heard bits and pieces of more official tools being developed for a similar purpose to maven-proxy, but I don't think any are yet publicly released.

Re: RE : [m2] Inter-project dependency question
Hi Chris, I'm not sure if this is the BEST way to do it, but what I do is create a parent pom.xml in the root directory. Then add commons, web-app, and stand-alone app as modules in that parent POM. Maven should figure out that since webapp and standalone app are dependent on the commons module then that's what needs to be built first. Then when you call mvn package (or whatever your goal is) on the parent pom, maven will first do the commons module before anything else. You'll also need to add parent tags to your sub-project (commons, web-app, and stand-alone app). See the example in the documentation at http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How%20do%20I%20build%20more%20than%20one%20project%20at%20once ? for more details Hope that helps! ~Gareth On 3/28/06, Chris Wall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Olivier. How do I represent this dependency in my webapp pom.xml?

Re: M2 - Best practice for common jars between EJB,WAR modules in EAR
Hi, Just a quick question, unrelated to your problem (sorry), but is it default Maven behaviour to explode the dependencies of a WAR in to the WEB-INF/classes directory within the WAR? Thanks, Gareth On 3/23/06, Richard Sladek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree in that it is a good idea of treating wars as self-contained archives and if deployed on its own, this is even required, in fact. However, there is a little bit different situation when deploying war within an ear (which is pretty common). In such a case I consider the idea of skeleton wars (as proposed in some JIRA issue - see my first post) to be a good one - you know that your war will be bundled in ear so you don't want to explode dependencies in war but in the ear instead. These are completely two different scenarios and they should be clearly distinguished (in dependency definition by some conf property, for instance).
IDEA plugin module dependencies
Hi, I have a mult-module project for which I'd like to generate an IntelliJ project using the IDEA plugin. In my project, some of the modules are dependent on the other modules. Is it possible for the IDEA plugin to mark these dependencies in the Project Settings - Dependencies window, rather than just adding the resulting artifacts into the Module Libraries settings? Thanks, Gareth
Re: Project ignoring custom respository?
Hi again, Yes, maven-proxy-webapp can contact the Internet (and ibiblio.org). If I go directly to a URL on my maven-proxy, e.g. http://myServer:8080/maven-proxy-webapp/repository/commons-logging/jars/commons-logging-1.0.1.jar, then the proxy will download and store this jar correctly.

Re: Project ignoring custom respository?
Nevermind. The problem was just a typo in my maven-proxy.properties file. The default configuration for the ibiblio repo, when downloaded from the maven-proxy homepage, points to http://www.ibiblio.org/maven. This should have been (for my project) http:///www.ibiblio.org/maven2 Very annoying! Thanks for all the replies!

Disable maven-proxy output
Sorry for this being slightly off topic, but can someone tell me how to disable the ouput from maven-proxy? I assume I just need to create a log4j.properties and put it somewhere in the classpath but i'm not sure where to put it? Do I need to overwrite the log4j.properties already contained within the maven-proxy-core jar file, or will an external properties file take precedence? Thanks, Gareth
Should a WAR directory have Java code? And why does my WAR have both classes and Jars?
Hi, I'm just getting started with Maven and i'm jumping straight in to the deep end by trying to convert our existing multi-module project from large, complex Ant scripts to a (hopefully, by the end of it) simpler POM. The end result for the project is to create a WAR file, containing each of the previously complied modules as JARs. The directory structure is something like this: -module1 --src ---java -module2 --src ---java ... -warModule --src ---java ---webapp My first question is: is it ok to have both web application stuff (web.xml / graphics / etc) as well as java code to be compiled all in the same module (ie warModule)? Or would it be better practice to take the Java classes from the warModule and create another module / JAR just for those, and then include those in to warModule? My second question is: I now have the project compiling and creating a WAR file. This WAR contains the web.xml, graphics and the JARs from the other modules, however it also seems to be including all the CLASS files from these JARs (ie the expanded JARs). So for example in the WAR I'll have a copy of module1.jar (which contains myClass1.class and myClass2.class), as well as a copy of myClass1.class and myClass2.class. Does anyone know what I could be doing to cause this? If not I can post a copy of the pom.xml from the modules (either the JAR ones, the WAR one, or both?). Thanks for any and all help. Gareth
Project ignoring custom respository?
Hi, I'm trying to setup a local repository using the maven-proxy webapp. I have successfully installed the webapp on a local Tomcat server, and i'm monitoring the catalina.out log file to see what happens. In a project on my local machine, I have the following specified in my pom.xml: project ... repositories repository idmy-repo/id namemy custom repo/name urlhttp://myserver:8080/maven-proxy-webapp/repository/url /repository /repositories /project i clean out my local machine's repository in order to try to use the maven-proxy-webapp, however whenever I run the project (mvn compile), the project just goes straight to ibiblio to fetch the dependencies! Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the project is not picking up my local repository? Thanks, Gareth
Re: Project ignoring custom respository?
Hi Thorsten, Thanks for your reply! So by doing that, you're saying that you only want to use your mirror if the central repo is down, correct? However I would like to use the maven proxy before trying to contact central. What am I getting wrong?

Re: Project ignoring custom respository?
Ah thanks! Ok, so now i'm getting somewhere. Now my internal maven proxy is being contacted, however it doesn't seem to be able to fetch anything from central. For example: I removed everything from ~/.m2/repository and ran my project again, however it fell over straight away with: [INFO] [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] I assume this means it can't fetch the maven-resources-plugin from the repository (because it's not in my local one yet). But why didn't it then go on to try central? Sorry for all the bother, and once again thank you for your help!
