Re: Maintaining private repositories

2005-02-28 Thread Tim Stephenson
Not sure where the official doc is - somewhere on the site - but what we do is to set up a directory structure exactly like the local repo or remote repositories under some web-server published directory with just those internally-managed components in and then tell maven to look both in the public

2005-02-14 Thread Tim Stephenson
James, Are the three directory structures you describe different projects (each with own project.xml) or do they overlap? If they overlap this is the first thing to change. I can't find the reference on the FAQ or elsewhere in the web site, but I am pretty sure maven strongly advises against crea

Hi, You can still use Ant's 'replace' http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/replace.html and ReplaceRegEx http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/replaceregexp.html tasks in your maven.xml file. So you could write a preGoal something like this (I stress I haven't tested it but it

RE: How to Access VSS files from Maven?

2005-02-02 Thread Tim Stephenson
I'm afraid I have not come across any particular VSS plugins for maven but as you hint it is easy to embed your VSS task calls in the maven.xml file of your project just as you do in an ant build.xml. read this for details of the maven.xml http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#ma

RE: How to use site:ftpdeploy

2005-02-02 Thread Tim Stephenson
I have the same thing! I investigated a little and it seems to relate to a combination of ant, ant-optional and commons-net version issues. The 'silent' failure itself is due to the way the ftp task appears to be implemented. Even outside of maven, if no connection can be made it does not repo

RE: Custom Maven-Plugins That Execute External Scripts

2004-10-14 Thread Tim Stephenson
In my experience these type of tasks each tend to be different from the last so are not easily generalised by a maven plugin because they need a unique set of params. IMO this is what the maven.xml is for (you can use as many custom ant exec tasks as you like). From time to time I find something

Query on current approach to integration tests

2004-04-26 Thread Tim Stephenson
Hi, I notice that there have been a few changes to the project xsd (and supporting implementation classes) around integration tests sometime over the last year when I have been away from maven for one reason or another. I have an old problem around how to split out certain tests (which I dub 'i

2003-05-27 Thread Tim Stephenson
I have experienced a very similar problem and tracked it down. I dont believe it is a result of any particular jar on the ibiblio site but rather the recent addition of extension information to the jar manifest that the latest jar plugin uses. See mail thread entitled 'Jar manifest extension list'
