Would maven 2 help me with some dependencies evolution issues ?
Hi all, [Using Maven 1 can maven 2 help me here ?] I have a common dependency D (jar), used by multiple main modules Ma, Mb (wars), all bundled into an ear E (the jar is not deployed in the webapp, but in the ear). The first version of the ear E is easy to build. D1, Ma1, Mb1, E1. When only a part of the ear dependencies evolves, making a new version of the ear is much more complex. For example, we add features in Ma (so Ma2) , which requires modification (let's say compatible with D1) of the common dependency D (so D2), but no change on Mb (Mb1). When I try to create E2, using D2 in the project.xml, we have the following issues : - I have no automated way to check that Mb1 runs with D2 without creating a new version of Mb (whose only difference would be a single line in project.xml) - E2 doesn't work, because Mb1 inside, has a manifest which looks up for D-1.jar, whereas E2 contains D-2.jar. I would need to issue a new version of Mb just to declare new versions of dependencies ? Now actually our project has a dozen of "common" dependences (the D above) and 4 ou 5 wars (the Ms above). I fear configuration management will become a nightmare. Would Maven 2 help me build a E2 without issuing new versions of every "unmodified" module ? I find the maven 2 transitive dependency feature quite confusing on paper. Thanks in advance for your help.
[m102] Using multiproject with plugin projects ?
Hi, multiproject:install does TYPE:install on every subprojects, where TYPE is the project type (jar, war, etc. based on what we input in projects.properties). But when TYPE is 'plugin', it will do plugin:install. But if I'm not mistaken plugin:install doesn't put the plugin jar in the repository but instantiate and run the plugin on the current maven installation. I need to use plugin:repository-install. I could try a multiproject:goal -Dgoal=repository-install, but I have jar projects there too, that need jar:install not jar:repository-install. Help :) any advice on how you would proceed ? I would create a my-install goal on every project, on jars that would attainGoal install, and on plugins that would attain repository-install. But I find that very bad (needs edit maven.xml in every project I create in the multiproject tree). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bundle problem
There is only one inheritence option, that is extend. If you use it for maintain version value equals across all maven projects of a same "business" project, but want different dependencies for each... you are toast :) you have to pick one or the other, can't have both. What you can't inherit, you will copy/paste. I never tried, but : since project.xml is an xml file, maybe it's possible to use external entities to import some other file (xml fragment) into project.xml. This way you could share the dependency part between 2 project.xml. As I said, I never tried. About your A -> B -> C,D problem, note that maven 1.x doesn't handle dependencies of dependencies. You would need to declare C and D as dependency of A too. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [m2] define dependencies between wars
I refused to merge 2 webapps from 2 projects, because of issues with incremental compilation and IDE integration (I mean, too hard to make MyEclipse automatically detect that a file changed in module1 and should remerge web.xml and redeploy module 1 AND module 2 into a webapp. Two days ago, we found an article on Sun site, about sharing a jar between two webapps in a EAR. They call it... bundled jar dependencies, or something like this. We didn't test it yet. But I'm pretty confident it will work.

[maven-eclipse-plugin] Suggestion for improvement
I'm using maven-eclipse-plugin 1.9, but we have a slightly different
way of using jar sources. We use a plugin that packs the src and put
them into the repository under src.jars (artifact type is src.jar).
Could you change plugin.jelly, line 41 from :
to :
where ${maven.eclipse.src.type} defaults to 'src' to keep backward
compatibility.
I could then change it to :
${maven.eclipse.src.type} = ${maven.eclipse.src.extension}s
in my project.properties and everything would work fine :)
Thanks in advance if you could.

GenApp : Reuse for inputs in next default values.
Due to naming conventions here, an artifact will be called : A-B-C.jar I have a template that asks for A, B and C. then it asks for the package, project name, short description etc. In those last questions, I would like to provide a default value that take A/B/C values as the user did input them. For example : Please, input A : [company] >> mycompany please, input B : [project] >> myproject please, input C : [artifact] >> webservices please, input package : [company.project.artifact] !!! I would like default value here to be : [mycompany.myproject.webservices], so that 90% of the cases, they have nothing to input in the last questions.

Re: [m2] define dependencies between wars
I have exactly the same problem : multiple application modules on top of some common business layer, each application module handle a set of business functionnalities. One could imagine to deploy only the required application modules depending on what the customer did buy. Development didn't start yet, so I have really no idea whether it will work or not in the long run, but : - I have decided to test that each web module is a different web application. My notes to you : - what do you mean with war dependencies ? If that's only declaring a item in maven, you can for sure, just add war and false of course :). - WHY do you need war dependencies ? If you expect webapp2 to have access to classes in webapp1... no way, won't work. You have to define a jar to share such. Then put those shared class on the common (shared) classpath, or on the application server using a EAR (well I have no idea whether one can share a jar between two webapps without EJBs). if you expect that some links on pages from webapp2 call actions from webapp1, then generate the correct url in webapp2 (i.e. include the right application context path, which sadly mean that webapp2 can't work if webapp1 isn't deployed under the right name, or you have to defined that name in a property file). if you want to share images and such, you can also work with urls. If you want to share jsps, call the right urls. For me, merging web apps was possible, if I defined some XSLT sheet, and invent some web.xml/struts-config.xml fragments that I would merge all together. But what I couldn't solve was : how to open webapp1 and webapp2 in eclipse, and have Lomboz, MyEclipse, or TomcatSysdeo plugin package the right files at the right place without hand by hand copy from myself. So I had only one option left : one project = one webapp. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[M1] variables in Url of Dependencies
Hi,
most of my project depends on other of my company jars. For example, I
could have something like that :
sales
sales-srv
SNAPSHOT
jar
http://intranet.mycompany/sales/sales-srv/SNAPSHOT
As you can see, we organised all our site generation to url
http://intranet.mycompany/groupId/artifactId/version.
I would gladly use variables to fill in the url from the
groupId/artifactId/version defined on the dependency. Do you know
whether it's possible ?
http://intranet.mycompany/${dep.groupId}/${dep.artifactId}/${dep.version}
Would be awesome :)

Flex and Maven ?
Has anyone worked on Macromedia Flex WebApps with Maven ? For what I see, flex comes with some jars to put in web-inf/lib (no problem, that's natural behaviour, so maven handle it perfectly), some jars in some specific flex directory (should be able to handle via ) but also some .as file (that I think should not be modified by the project, and are a kind of core library for action scripts)... so those as files should be managed separately and if possible via dependencies. I was thinking creating a webressource artifact type, and put some as pregoal of war:webapp. Any existing thing like that ? or anyone has experience with such behaviour ? I saw other libraries than Flex that requires some files (e.g. images and css) to be copied to a specific webapp directory (f.e. Common-Controls taglib). tia. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Single Web App from Multiple Modules... ?
Working on a large project, where multiple teams will work on a single web application (single War), each team designing some business module, some teams designing business layers modules, and some leaders to watch over the coherency of the whole. We use Eclipse, MyEclipse (for auto-deployment to local server), and Mevenide. With Maven, how can I best structure my web modules (that are part of a webapp) so that they are easy to develop and test by each web module team. (each web module is similar to a Struts module, in that there is very few things to define in each module that goes into the web.xml). Anyone has experience with such project cutting ? We have thought of making one webapp per web module, but that would mean the business layers jars would be copied over each webapp and since we use Spring and Hibernate, that would mean that cache and singletons exists once per webapp, which is not good at all. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: account for ibiblio?
well, it's not like ibiblio is your site, it's not like you can install anything you want on their server : they want to keep control on what's there. A Jira is a nice way to track down requests. "many times" isn't that many. You will only deploy there the stable releases. So maybe one per month, a bit more with quick bug fixes just after an important release. The other options would be to set up your own maven repository on your own website :). or to go with other servers than ibiblio. You could also join an existing group like maven-plugins, you would be published by their repository (well maven-plugins handles only maven plugins, so your war would go probably). I fear there is no quickest way to publish to ibiblio than to send a formal request to them :) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Where to find Maven-xmlbeans-plugin and documentation ?
thanks a lot. I never used XMLBeans before, and I was too lazy to install it for manual usage (I saw you need to set up env variables and such, I don't like much when you have to do so, it's a pain to reinstall on new environment, you always forget what you exactly did so that it worked in the first install). But with the plugin it worked perfectly. I'm using JDK 1.5 and when compiling the generated classes I got : Note: * uses or overrides a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. all seems to work despite this. I like the look of the generated classes. When I tried to run source generation with Castor, I ended up with one class per element and one class per complex type, ignoring all naming collisions ! (so I was ending up using a mapping file and writing my own classes). With XmlBeans I only have classes for complexTypes (and maybe simpletypes I didn't check), which is exactly what I expected.

[M1] Eclipse, J2EE Plugins, Maven and TLD/Applets issues
Hi, J2EE plugins (like MyEclipse, Sysdeo Tomcat, Lomboz) have their way to deploy the webapp to the target server. Usually they copy all from src/webapp to the target server (that's how MyEclipse work) or they make the server point to the source directory (that's how sysdeo tomcat works). Maven Eclipse Plugin generate a .classpath so that all jars in project.xml are seen by Eclipse, and so those jars are being considered and copied over by J2EE Eclipse Plugins. How do you guy handle TLD and Applets this way ? In my project.xml, i have dependencies with tld and some applets with applets. Those dependencies aren't about classpath, so maven eclipse plugin can't generate them into .classpath and hope the application will work. Somehow I must copy tld and applet files to the src/webapp/WEB-INF/tld/ and src/webapp/applets/ (using some .cvsignore to make sure nobody put my dependencies back into my cvs of course). I have written a specific maven.xml goal for this, but I'm looking for a generic way, a best practice. How do you do it ? Instead of copying them to the source directory, one could declare target/webapp/ (or whatever is the directory generated by war:webapp) as where the J2EE Eclipse Plugin should pick the web app. Since war:webapp put the applets and tld correctly in there, it sounds the way to go. Unfortunatly, how do I tell eclipse that src/webapp must be copied to target/webapp so that each time I change a JSP (or other web resource) I see the result directly in the browser without having to manually call maven war:webapp goal ?

[M2] Too many things in the POM ?
I have the feeling the POM will carry too many things. After all, POM is in SCM, so it is versionned, it is source related, it can't provide deployment infos, or development platform context, which can change after the release has been done. At the first reading of the POM documentation, I see : : Remote Repository. (I guess the one where the packaged artifact will be deployed) Does it mean that my project sources must know where my remote repository is installed ? What happen if my company change computer names (for example she got bought by another company who already have a maven repository and we want merge them) ? This problem was already an issue in Maven 1 too, and still is on those : issue management, site:deploy target, etc. I have slightly the same conceptual difficulties with some site reports. For me there are different kind of reports. Some I want to execute during Continuous integration (on SNAPSHOT) and some I want to execute on stable releases (versions). Some reports can be attached to both : javadoc, tests, xref, faq, install guide, user guide, pmd, findbugs, checkstyle, ... they apply to ONE configuration. Some reports are NOT version related, they apply to the whole configuration management : last 30 days changelogs, Developper activity, ... If the changelog was : every change log since last version, it would become a configuration report and I would be ok with it, but the fact it will deal with a period of time based on when I run it, breaks this (I should be able to check out a specific VERSION, whenever I want, even years ahead in the future, generate the site and obtain the exact same result than when i did the first time). I have the feeling Maven doesn't clearly separated between a configuration and the whole project lifespan. For me there should be a tool for configuration-based tasks, and a tool for project-based tasks. A versionned POM, that follow the configuration lifecycle, and some other project-settings separated from the POM. I think this second item should be handled by CruiseControl-like tools, and could integrate other tools that track the project evolution like some code review tools with history (e.g. Hammurapi).

[M2] Support for non-java sources ?
In Maven 2 POM documentation, it seems that I will only be able to create Java project with Maven. sourceDirectory points by default to src/main/java. Does it mean that if I want to create non-java project I can't indicate sources in the pom ? Or does it mean that I can declare a new artifact type in maven (let's say for C++ stuffs), place the c++ sources in the POM sourceDirectory, and have my C++ files compiled as part of the normal maven life cycle ? What happen if the source type can't be guessed from the artifact type (I think DLL can be created in more than one language, same I guess a maven plugin can be Java or Marmelade or ...). And if I need to mix different languages in my sources, I'll do : src/main/lang1, src/main/lang2, ... but how will the compile tasks do the right thing ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: muliproject
Well what do you mean with running maven.xml and project.xml files ? maven.xml just declare new 'commands' (goals). Do you mean that building A requires that you first did build B with a specific goal of yours, and build C requires another specific goal of yours not the same as for B ? I guess you could add to each project maven.xml a new goal (called homemade:buildme for example) that would . Then you could multiproject run the homemade:buildme goal on all your projects ? Else you can write your own build-all goal in maven.xml of your A project, that would use the Reactor to run goals on the other projects (not sure exactly how to do it, but multiproject is just simplified calls to power). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
