Trying to convert an old project from using ant to maven; having issues getting off the ground. I've gone through the sonatype maven-by-example but am pretty confused.
Starting with just a piece which will be its own project. I want to generate a project which uses jaxb during the compile/build phase; in ant I had to make my own ant task for one step. Searching the central repository to find a jaxb archetype, I am guessing com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb should work. I tried to get a simple jaxb project laid out using mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.sun.xml.bind -DarchetypeArtifactId=jaxb The generator came back with the full list of 1750 archetypes, so I filtered using com.sun: and got a short list with no com.sun.xml archetypes. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here? Questions: 1. Is com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb what I want for an archetype? 2. What's wrong with the above mvn command to generate the project? 3. Pointers to how to convert a custom ant task into a maven goal? Thanks for any and all clues, Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
