Dave: Here is an example of running a standalone block using the artifact protocol:
$ merlin artifact:block:avalon/tutorial/hello -execute This generates the following output [INFO ] (tutorial.hello): Hello World! In the above example the artifact type is 'block', the group is 'avalon/tutorial' and the name of the block is 'hello. The resulting path is: [repository]/avalon/tutorial/blocks/hello.block If you run the above command using the default configuration then merlin will find the artifact in the dpml repository: http://www.dpml.net/avalon/tutorial/blocks/ The artifact:block:avalon/tutorial/hello uri can be used on the command line, or equally as a value in the merlin.deployment property.

Steve helped me work out the issue with resolving to my block definition file. I actually have to type in the full pathname to this file, so the code should be: criteria.put( "merlin.deployment", "target/deliverables/block/your-container-defintion.block" ); The thing with this approach, though, is that is doesn't really inspire confidence for managing projects in the long term. Is anybody able to share with me what they consider best practices for managing projects? I am assuming that the project should be deployed in a jar file, then sent to the repository. That way it can be resolved using artifact spec ([repository-cache]/[group]/[type]s/[name]-[version].[type]). Would you agree that this is the best approach? Is there a build target that can do this for me, or do I have to make my own target to manage my blocks?
