Hi,
because I'm not sure if I should use Fortress or Merlin, I tried to get my feets wet with both. But know I have an problem with Merlin.
I downloaded the Merlin stuff and tried to work through the tutorial.
But when I'm trying to use maven to compile my stuff I got the following error message and no class or jar files where generated:
<snip/>
No goal [avalon:meta]
What did I wrong?
You have not installed the Avalon Meta Plugin for Maven.
In the package you downloaded is a directory called /plugins. In this directory you will find two plugins - one for the avalon meta package and another for the merlin package. You copy these jar file to you MAVEN_HOME/plugins directory.
And even better: is maven really necessary, why can't I use ant scripts?
You can - but using Maven really does bring more control and automation of the development process. The tutorials were actually based on Ant not so long ago - but it was getting to be a real pain to keep things maintained. The move from ant to maven really simplified things and also lets us do more verification that tutorials are building and executing ok.
Cheers, Steve.
Ciao Dieter
