Re: convincing Workplace to use Maven

[Tony Ambrozie]

This is not a comparison to other options, but from my perspective I would
say standardization of code artifacts and structure, advanced dependency
management, descriptive vs. programmatic builds, enforcement of enterprise
conventions through super pom's, rich plugin ecosystem, project site that
allows open visibility into build and build-related operations (testing
results, code coverage, code quality, etc), integration into enterprise
build and deployment tools.

Re: Pass params from command line to Junit test

[Tony Ambrozie]

You may want to have a look at maven-surefire-plugin:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/index.html

You can also pass the desired string as a system property in the cmd line,
and your test class can retrieve it in setUp.

Hi,

it's the first time I'd like to use Maven. However, I am already
struggling just by using it...

I need to use maven for installation of a framework called AppFuse.
As described by the AppFuse Installation Guideline (
http://www.appfuse.org/display/APF/AppFuse+QuickStart) I tried to setup
the framework by using maven in the following way:

*mvn archetype:create 
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse-DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-modular-spring 
-DremoteRepositories=
**http://static.appfuse.org/repository*
* -DarchetypeVersion=2.0-m4-SNAPSHOT 
-DgroupId=com.mycompany-DartifactId=myproject
*

After execution I received the following error-message:



[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]

[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does
not exist or no valid version could be found
[INFO]




Since I am behind a proxy I added the proxy in setting.xml like this:

   
  true
  http
  myproxy.com
  1234



However, I am still getting the same error.
The version of Maven I use is 2.0.5.

Thanks in advance for any help on that!

Re: [ANN] First release of Patchwork coverage maven plugin

Arnaud, thanks for sharing this.  To better support the community and its

and a bug reporting facility.

As an note, I tried the mvn plugin and I got a "
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oqube.jhighlight.scala.ScalaXhtmlRenderer"
and multiple "Unknown attirbute oqube.bytes.attributes.SyntheticAttribute".


Thank you,

Hi to all,
Following some discussions on the agile-testing mailing list, I
revived an old project of mine named Patchwork, that aims to provide a
general purpose and extensible code coverage framework. In the spirit
of "release early, release often", I just released first public
version of this tool, numbered 1 (no dots). It is currently available
at:

http://www.oqube.com/projects/patchwork/index.html

This first version has the following features:
- compute all-nodes, all-edges or both coverage metrics from the
control flow graph of Java bytecode, with percentage and source
colorizing to show executed lines,
- provide CLI and maven 2 plugin interfaces,
- provide a small GUI utility for visualizing control flow graph and
data-flow graphs of bytecode.

Known limitations are:
- reports are ugly,
- Due to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-141, the maven plugin
   still needs to execute twice the tests,
- does not yet work on itself,
- alpha development stage,
- probably tons of subtle bugs.

It is different from other tools in the way it computes coverage and
provide somewhat finer grained measures than at least cobertura.

I would welcome feedback, advices, kind comments and of course any
help.

not sure if anyone has tried the native plexus way for actually

There's dependency-analyzer:analyze in the sandbox:


https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/plugins/maven-dependency-analyzer-plugin/

which can provide this information.  It requires:


https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/shared/maven-dependency-analyzer/



  You'll have to build from source, but it's pretty easy to do.

Re: Can I get a timestamp?

[Tony Ambrozie]

I am using the buildnumber plugin successfully to tag my assembly releases
with a timestamp (for example, for assembly,  ${
project.artifactId}-${project.version}-r${buildNumber}), just as
Greg suggested.  Need to make sure to invoke the plugin create goal, for
example mvn buildnumber:create assembly:assembly.

Kim,

You can use the maven-buildnumber-plugin to get a timestamp, as follows:

  
org.codehaus.mojo
maven-buildnumber-plugin
0.9.4

  {0,date,-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}
  
timestamp
  
  false
  false


  
validate

  create

  

  

The timestamp is put into the ${buildNumber} property. You can also adjust
the format of the timestamp to suit your requirements. Take a look at
http://commons.ucalgary.ca/projects/maven-buildnumber-plugin/howto.htmlfor
information on how it works.

The plug-in will allow you to use timestamp tagging to tag your builds. I
am
sorry but I don't think you can access the timestamp property directly in
the pom itself. Why do you need to do that anyway?

Do I really have to write an entire plugin just to make a timestamp

Re: Can't find artifact when building offline

What version of surefire are you specifying in your pom?  Do you specify
one?  Not sure what the issue is as I cannot replicate it, I can only
suspect that some dependency/plugin looks for the latest release and finds a
pom with this name somewhere, but no associated jar. You may want to specify
version 2.2 it works for me...

You will need to include the codehaus snapshots repository in your specific
