Re: maven Website - I'm struggling getting the information I seek
hello, try to download the maven book at www.mergere.com. There's a link on the mid-right for the book, "Better Builds With Maven". There's a lot of information there that you might find useful. hope this helps...=) cheers, pete marvin Stefan Arentz wrote: > On 5/30/06, Marc Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hello I'm using mvn for 2 month now and I'm till struggling finding the >> finding the documentation on the maven.apache.org website. > > Same here.

I started using Maven 2 about a month ago. It has been *extremely* painful because of the complete chaos that is called documentation. Figuring out how plugins work is impossible because the documentation is either missing or halve-baked. I have more success with asking things on the list here, or searching the list archives. Or even reading source code of plugins. It is a pleasure to use Maven for my project, but it was all but a simple start. I think the Maven team should set some standards for documentation and simply ask every plugin developer to take care of it or else simply drop the plugin.

maven Website - I'm struggling getting the information I seek
Hello I'm using mvn for 2 month now and I'm till struggling finding the finding the documentation on the maven.apache.org website. An example: I was looking for the filename of the user profile setting file (settings.xml) .. I got this two pages using google and menu: http://maven.apache.org/maven-settings/settings.html#class_settings http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-settings/settings.html Both look very similar except that the one contains the settings.xml filename but the other does't.. At the first glance I didn't realize this.. On the main download page there is no hint where to get the source.. You have to go to the FAQ or to "How to help".. I would never have looked here an first place.. On the left there is a BIG header "Project Documentation"... but no link to click on the next link shows information about mailinglists... You can find it under "Quick Links" When trying to find a the meaning of a tag? Where to go? Quick Links -> Documentation -> Scroll to the bottom to find *reference* Here it needs some endurance to ignore the guides and introdictions.. At the beginning I was confused wether I was at maven 1 or 2 docs.. It took me some time to finde the maven 1x and 2x links on top.. But perhaps I'm just not used to this site..
