It used to be done by setting properties like maven.repo.local and maven.repo.remote. You can set them in your home directory in a build.properties file, or in the driver.properties in the maven-home/bin directory: maven.repo.local=d:/development/cvs/lib maven.home=d:/development/cvs/maven maven.repo.remote = http://tieten/repository maven.repo.central = login.ibiblio.org maven.repo.central.directory = /public/html/maven maven.repo.remote.enabled = true I don't really know what the *.central.* properties are for > * How to publish documents to a remote web site using Maven? It's done using the site:deploy target. You have to have ssh and scp(?) installed. Have a look at the site plugin and the plugin.jelly file. I have submitted a patch a couple of days ago that supported filesystem deploying of your site as well, but I haven't had any response (maybe i'll get it now ;-). > * Is there a plan for Eclipse Plugin for Maven (NOT Maven plugin > for Eclipse) ? Dunno > * How to establish and manage a mail list using Maven? You can have refs to your mailinglist on your site (see the example on the maven site), but managing and establishing mailinglists is not what maven does. > * Maven takes some time to start, is it always try to connect to > ibibio when start up? It has to parse a lot of XML for all the plugins. If you remove unnecessary plugins from your plugin directory, it'll start up a lot faster. I think people are working on it, or at least, planning to work on it. > * How to start console of Maven? maven console Additionally you can give properties to the console using -Dpropkey=propvalue The only problem with the console is, that it doesn't check your dependencies after you've started it up, but it's a handy tool! Still in development I think. > * The directory layout doc (http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/dirlayout.html) suggest project.xml file be put under xdocs/ dir, but "getting started/Integrate" says it "reside in the top-level directory of your project's directory hierarchy", which is right? I've got it in the toplevel directory of the project. You could also put it in the xdoc directory but then you'd have to set all your directories in a different way... not handy I would think. About the question on navigation.xml I would refer to the maven source structure (for instance) and see what they have done. If you take a look at the maven site there's a menu bar and some breadcrumbs (top-right). They have to be specified in the navigation.xml file. When I try maven pdf, I get the same classnotfounderror, so maybe it's not only your problem... goodluck... alef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
