RE: RE : Why download all those jars when Maven is first run?
At present, yes it does, and I think it's a good idea. I will get around to patching maven's startup to copy lib/* into the local repo, but I haven't had the time recently.

Re: RE : Why download all those jars when Maven is first run?
Dave, Does the local repo have to have maven's special file structure? Can it be just a folder with a bunch of jars? c:\localRepo\ant-1.5.jar Or does it have to be like this: c:\localRepo\ant\jars\ant-1.5.jar Hmm, not sure on that one (I'm still pretty new to Maven). I'd actually also like to know the answer to this one. Anyone know?

This problem was raised in MAVEN-470 http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-470 Anybody who wants to complete the changes is more than welcome to!

Yes - create a file called 'build.properties' in the dir where you're calling 'maven'. In there, put: maven.repo.local=path\\to\\your\\jars THat's on a windows filesystem - use / for unix/mac.

Is there any way to tell Maven to first look in a specified place (directory) for the jars it needs before going off ? On my system I have many of the packages that it needed (for other purposes) but it insisted on going off and getting them anyway and installing in its space - hence I now have multiple copies(!) -- Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Why download all those jars when Maven is first run?
The console status messages do not indicate who is doing the downloading (plug-in or core) or why. It's definitely not a something a new user is expecting. 1. Is there way to make that not happen? 2. Are the developers addressing this? Or do they consider this a user friendly feature? If Maven ships with plug-ins, shouldn't it include the plug-ins dependencies in it's local repo as part of the stock install? The reason I'm asking is that I want to start using Maven (instead of Ant) in my java training workshops. And I like to start with a basic archive (maven-1.0-beta-9.zip) and have the students install it and run it. But, I can't have that long download on 12 PC all at the same time in the middle of class. Also, I like to include all of the workshop's software on a CD ROM for those students that don't have Internet Access at home. Thanks.

RE : Why download all those jars when Maven is first run?
Maven (the core part) by itself doesn't download any jar (am I right ?), but the plugins do... Which are depending on the repository libs (just like any regular maven projects) to execute themselves. -Message d'origine- De : Dave Ford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mercredi 9 juillet 2003 16:36 À : Maven Users Objet : Why download all those jars when Maven is first run? Why does Maven download all of those jars the first time you run it, to build it's repository? I can see the the jar files are already there, in /lib. If Maven is going to re-download all of it's jars, why does it even include them in it's lib folder?
