Dependency groups?
Forgive a likely newbie question but I've not found anything outside a hacked parent pom to get something like this to work. Is there any way to setup a pre-defined set of dependencies to include in a given pom? For example, Hibernate requires several jars to be included as dependencies to a project using it...is there a sane way in maven to define a hibernate-dependencies.pom or something like that and include it in my pom.xml? To make a reusable set of dependencies?

Dependency Groups
Is there a way to define reusable "lib groups"? IntelliJ lets you do this under project properties/paths/libraries. For example, if i use hibernate in 5 different projects. And hibernate requires 5 jar files. That's a lot of extra typing in project.xml (dependencies section).

To make a reusable set of dependencies? We do this kind of thing in Shale, to provide a common set of dependencies for all of the sample apps. Each individual app's pom mentions " org.apache.shale:shale-apps-parent"[1] as its parent, and therefore inherits all the common dependencies. Another useful approach to this sort of problem is the Maven2 "archetype" facilities[2], where you can define the initial structure of a new project (and include the default set of dependencies in the newly created pom. The dependencies aren't shared later, but this is a great way to get a kick start on a new project that needs a starter set of stuff, but then will evolve on its own.

To make a reusable set of dependencies? Without seeing the project, it's hard to make a recommendation. If you're finding that you have the same dependencies in a lot of places, is it possible that some code could be moved into a separate module? Then you'd depend on that jar, and get thost dependencies transitively. To answer your original question... I'm not sure I'd recommend this approach, but (I just tried it and) it works... you can create a project with pom which has dependencies, and then have your project _depend_ on that pom, so that you pick up those dependencies transitively.

In particular, I've found it helpful for the currently-not-really-addressed-in-Maven-2 use case of packaging wars in an ear, with (most) dependent jars packaged in the ear. You make a dependency project for the things you want packaged in the ear, and have the war project and the ear project depend on the dependency project. The only difficulty with this is that the exclusion of the jars from the war is an awkward business, because you only have includes and excludes to work with, with only * as wildcards. Regular expressions would clean that right up, and I've requested such a change here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-81 I've found other uses for this too. I think it's a neat trick. -- Bryan -Original Message- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 5:34 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Dependency groups?
