Re: Does maven have something like ant calls?
Thanks for the responses. I've checked the reactor plugin and still see it based on the pom inheritance model with the way it calls the subprojects. As for the multiproject plugin, looks like I will have to do some hacking with the directory structure in eclipse. Let me just restate my issue in more detail and maybe there is an easy way of solving the problem. I'm using eclipse as my IDE. Say I have 3 projects set up in eclipse like this: -- Project A == /build == /conf -- Project B == /build == /src == /conf -- Project C == /build == /src == /web You can consider Project A as a main build project, or parent, that oversees all the other (child) projects. It contains the main build file (under /build) and configuration properties used by all the other projects. Project B can be considered the java middle-tier, housing all the services and business logic. Project C is the webapp, housing source code and web components (JSPs, etc) related to the front-end. Projects B and C also have their own build files, with each build specific to the project. So for the case of Project B, it will compile and jar; for Project C, it will compile and war. Therefore I want Project A to call Project B's build, then call Project C's build which relies on Project B's binaries. Is this possible using Maven and one of its plugins? I'm pretty sure that the reactor plugin can NOT do this from some of the examples I've seen on the web. As for the multiproject plugin, I'm not so sure. I might still have to hack the directory structure in eclipse, which in turn, defeats the purpose. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi, I'm new to maven and would like to know if there is a way of creating one main project.xml that calls other project.xml files to do the work. For example, suppose I have 3 projects set up--P1, P2 and P3. P1 is designated as the main project file. Running P1 initializes itself, calls P2 to do its thing which includes jarring itself into the local repository, and finally calls P3 to do its thing which depends on P2's jar to complete. I've looked at the pom inheritance but its more of inheriting the super pom's properties rather than delegating calls to sub poms. The only other way I can think is to create a maven.xml file which embodies ant calls to do the job. I'm not sure how this would work though since I do not see any ant tasks specifiic in invoking maven tasks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -los _ Find a broadband plan that fits.

Re: Does maven have something like ant calls?
you can try looking at the multiproject plugin http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/multiproject/ I think there you can find what you need Regards Michele |-+ | | Los Morales| | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | il.com | | || | || | | 26/03/2004 08:27 | | | Please respond to| | | Maven Users | | | List| | || |-+ --| | | | | | | | | | | |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |cc: (bcc: Michele Forte/SwissRe) | |bcc:Michele Forte/SwissRe | |Subject:Does maven have something like ant calls? | --| Hi, I'm new to maven and would like to know if there is a way of creating one main project.xml that calls other project.xml files to do the work.
