Maven might be a good solution if your components are packaged as jar files and your build just pulled in the "right" jar files.

If you are pulling in source code and building, then your alternatives to a file server might range from a CMS or database to a source control system like svn or git or.....

What is it about the file server that prompts you to want to change?

Think of a Maven Repository as being for use by Maven and that delivery of

the fileserver into a Maven repository.

Hi,

yes, you are right, but that is what I wanted to say with my last post "I
have to get used to it".
I have realized that I have to change my ideas.

And at long last I will answer your question. My company delivers an
extendible j2ee framework, and we started with it in 2002. We deliver all
our artifacts in so-called components on a file-server(see picture) and in
an ant-projectbuild the components are assembled to applications.

And I wanted to know, if a maven repository can be used instead of a
fileserver. And so I wanted to upload the same structure to a maven
repository. That is where I started with maven.

Best regards
Burkhard
