Hello all, I've grabbed an eclipse plugin of maven-1.0.2 (the one that is available from MevenIDE's update site) and been tweaking with it to try to run Maven from within the Eclipse environment without requiring a system install of maven.
*plugin/repo issue: The separate external maven plugins can also be defined and downloaded within the project.xml and project.properties file that are stored with *each project*: Project.properties ============== maven.repo.remote = http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/,http://cvs.apache.org/repository/ ============= Project.xml ============= <dependency> <groupId>maven-plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-cobertura-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <type>plugin</type> </dependency> ============ Default is the users homedir, which for now is fine. MevenIDE also defines a repo location in it's preferences. This issue has an acceptable solution/workaround for now. *end plugin/repo issue ######the problem######## I've modified my local maven-1.0.2 eclipse plugin as follows: *added forehead.conf from a standard maven install into the plugin/org.apache.maven_1.0.2/lib dir. *added log4j library to plugin/org.apache.maven_1.0.2/lib dir. *added the lib/endorsed directory from a maven install with all jars to plugin/org.apache.maven_1.0.2/lib/endorsed dir. Now up to this point: ====================== org.apache.maven.MavenException: Maven was badly installed. Please reinstall it. at org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginManager.initialize(PluginManager.java:264) at org.apache.maven.MavenSession.initializePluginManager(MavenSession.java: 204) at org.apache.maven.MavenSession.initialize(MavenSession.java:171) at org.apache.maven.cli.App.doMain(App.java:475) at org.apache.maven.cli.App.main(App.java:1239) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.jav a:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor Impl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at com.werken.forehead.Forehead.run(Forehead.java:551) at com.werken.forehead.Forehead.main(Forehead.java:581) ====================== Some searching brings up http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1420 . Tried just adding an empty ./bin dir with no results, and a /bin from an existing maven install with no results. Setting up a Windows environment MAVEN_HOME to this location does not change it either. The run command is coming from MevenIDE, but the way MevenIDE is setup is you usually point to a system install of Maven; is there a way to make the eclipse plugin of maven look like a system install or another option to have Maven run with just the eclipse plugin without a system install? Kinda stumped here, but looks like only one more hurdle to the finish line.... -D --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
