With a little bit of interaction with the user a tool like that could be great. I once had a tool that scanned the sources and mapped import statements back to dependencies, is this how you're doing it? Just curious. I was using a little JavaCC parser that Pete and I whipped up. > I want to create a Maven plugin to convert any old-fashioned project > (with an individual lib/ folder) into a mavenized project.

Definitely, I think many people would like a way to convert projects safely over to using Maven. > And finally what do you think about the strategy, copying the files > into the local repository.

Is that useful? You're talking about two things here,yes? I think the person responsible for the conversion would make sure the dependencies of the project are copied to the remote repository and then the first time your developers build the mavenized project the dependencies will be pulled down. For the conversion I think you must simply make the dependencies available to the Mavenized project. > > -Mo. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
