Hello List,
I am just starting to use (and get used to) Maven. Slowly I begin to
understand how it works.
I just started to write a project.xml file for my project. The biggest
problem I have, is to understand how the <dependencies> tag works. The
questions I have are:
o How can I determine, which jars are in the (remote) repository?
Right now, I am in a trial-and-error phase; I look into my local
repository, and try to
figure out, which jar will be possibly in the remote repository.
Example (1):
My application needs junit. When I started the project, I downloaded
junit.jar (version 3.8.1). So, my dependency tag looked like:
<dependency>
<id>junit</id>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<url>http://www.junit.org/</url>
</dependency>
This didn't work, because the version 3.8.1 doesn't exist in the remote
repository. Instead the 3.8 version was available. I just found it 'by
chance' (wasn't that difficult...).
Example (2):
My application needs jakarta-commons-net (the FTP client). This jar
doesn't seem to be available in the remote repository
(http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/jakarta-commons-net/jars/jakarta-commons-
net-1.0.0-dev.jar).
If this file isn't in the remote repository, how do I put my own jar
into a place, where Maven finds it?
The other question is:
o Is it possible to get just the latest version of a jar?
I don't want to tell Maven which version to download. It should take
just the latest.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
-Moritz.
