Re: Help with converting existing ant build to maven is required - forking
Never used optional. What classes were missing when you used provided? http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html mentions that the transitive dependencies are not available if you use provided. You will have to add any dependencies that your code calls that are not part of Red5 but are also used by Red5. This is a good idea anyway since it documents what libraries your code actually uses. You may want to use a more recent version than the one that Red5 does.

Re: Help with converting existing ant build to maven is required - forking
If there are specific suggestions or questions about the maven blog articles (from anyone), I would be grateful to have them. They were written rather quickly to explain a technique that we found useful. People may have to read more than one of the maven articles to get the gist of what we do. Some of the more experienced and knowledgeable people in this forum have some reservations about our approach so I would hesitate to propose it as a Best practice but it does address the problem that you are facing in a way that works in a team environment (small team) and achieves the objects that we sought - faster maven build (install,deploy), - small wars (only our code), - easy deployment (fewer shared libraries) - shorter and simpler pom dependency specifications and - complete management control over versions of third party libraries.

Re: Help with converting existing ant build to maven is required - forking
So, as far as Maven is concerned, Red5 is scope provided. You want it to reference it for compiling but should not put its classes in the jar or war since you are going to sneak it into the package without Maven noticing. Pretty standard problem. We make a lot of aggregation jars that are used in the same way. http://blog.artifact-software.com/tech/?p=121 describes how we handle a similar need to produce skinny wars that use libraries in Tomcar/shared or tomcat/lib to avoid copies of the same code in multiple jars. Our LMS project has over 80 Maven projects that produce a variety of jars and wars. Many of these share the use of large libraries such as CXF, Spring and Apache commons that can be shared through Tomcat's classloader rather than duplicated in each war. There are some other notes about Maven on our blog that you might find interesting. I would prefer an installer to get the shared libraries into tomcat/lib but that is another issue.
