Hello,
As stated I'm new to Maven and have been reading a getting started guide.
I'm trying to learn Maven because I want to use i-Jetty (for Android
webapps). At first I had no idea what the provided pom.xml file meant but I
think I understand it so if I'm not correct then please correct me. I'm
going to post a snippet to make sure I understand what is going on. The
artifacts are like jars posted to a central repository such as the
exec-maven-plugin used in the snippet below. What I don't understand is the
variables they used below under the configuration tag: ${android.home}.
Where would these variables be defined? For now I'm following the simple
webapp for Android so no libraries for Android are called but if I used any
I would have a <dependency> with and artifactId for Android, correct?

---------------------------------------------------
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<!-- Convert the compiled classes into a clases.dex. -->
<execution>
<id>generate-dex</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>${android.home}/${android-platform}/tools/dx</executable>
<arguments>
<!--<argument>-JXmx1024M</argument>-->
<argument>--dex</argument>
<argument>--verbose</argument>
<argument>--core-library</argument>
<argument>--output=${project.build.directory}/classes.dex</argument>
<argument>--positions=lines</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/classes/</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
--------------------------------------------------------
I will be importing the project into Eclipse which gives errors for some
unresolved calls, but they will be resolved when I compile with mvn?
Thanks, I will surely be asking more
Chris
