RE: Newbie question- 3rd party jars
Thank you all for your help. I guess, I have to wait until Maven becomes more widely accepted and becomes as open source product as ant or similar apache packages.

Any way to do this by keeping lib directory? You can but users will always have to manually install the artifacts to their local repository. You can provide them with a batch file or script for this. Like what Wendy said, you'll benefit more though if you could setup an internal repo. With several environments and different network zones across which builds are done (dev, QA, production), the transition from ANT to Maven needs happen in more gradually to reduce the risk on quality of the software delivery. There are several projects that uses both Ant and Maven builds.

Although you could stick with your existing directory structure, you'll benefit more if you'll follow the best practices that Maven suggests. Like with the 3rd party jars, you can create a script to regularly copy files into a Maven 2 directory structure (with Maven 2 POMs) and have it built there. Use this until you're comfortable with your migration. > > Thanks, > Vipul > > > > From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sat 12/30/2006 10:36 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: Newbie question- 3rd party jars > > > > On 12/30/06, Sagare, Vipul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Both. > > > > I would like them to be in the classpath and in jar as well. > > Normally you would install them in your local repository and then use > a element in your pom.

RE: Newbie question- 3rd party jars
Thank you for quick response. Any way to do this by keeping lib directory? With several environments and different network zones across which builds are done (dev, QA, production), the transition from ANT to Maven needs happen in more gradually to reduce the risk on quality of the software delivery. In other words, without changing any directory structure, can I use Maven for full enterprise level J2EE application with EAR, JAR and WAR with WebLogic EJBs?

Normally you would install them in your local repository and then use a element in your pom. If you're working with other developers, you'll probably want to establish an internal/corporate repository so that each developer doesn't have to install them individually. Then you won't need that "lib" directory at all, the jars in your local repository will be shared across all of your Maven-built projects. To include jars within a jar, I don't see a way to convince the jar plugin to do it: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/ but you can use the assembly plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/ -- Wendy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Newbie question- 3rd party jars
Both. I would like them to be in the classpath and in jar as well.

Newbie question- 3rd party jars
After going through the book, I am trying to get one of our modules compile and package into jar. How do I include 3rd party Jars? Here is my directory structure and pom.xml Seems to be very elementary but the examples I am coming across seems to be NOT real world cases. Thank you for your help. mymodule- -doc (not to be included in jar) -lib (has third party jars from 1. un-common vendors (say - somevendor.jar) ..AND 2. more common jars like xercesImpl.jar, log4j.jar -src which has java sorce -somedir (not to be included in built jar) pom.xml- http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> 4.0.0 com.tmobile.app MyModule jar 1.0-SNAPSHOT MY Module http://tempurl.com ./src From: Dennis Lundberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat 12/30/2006 8:21 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Sample/Best Practice for Maven 2 and WebLogic J2EE application.

Sample/Best Practice for Maven 2 and WebLogic J2EE application.
I am trying convert "ant" scripts for J2EE application (with JAR, WAR, EAR) to Maven 2.0. We use WebLogic 8.1 SP4. I have tough time finding "a complete" sample for J2EE project with source code. I see several bits and pieces on several Maven related websites. The documentation is poor at best. An example similar to Vincent Massol's Maven 1.1 article on O'Reilly (http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/09/07/maven.html?page=1) would be great. Anybody successfully using Maven WebLogic-Plugin for creating EAR files for WL 8.1 SP4 (EJB 2.0)? (As we use appc) Your help is appreciated.
