Hi,
I read the getting started guide on the Maven website and searched through the mail archives but I still have no die how to achieve what I'm looking for: What I'd like to do: - Create a central Maven repository in our company. - Have a "Super POM" which includes our company wide defaults (e.g: force checkstyle, link toour central bug reporting tool) all our project POMs should get the defaults from this pom. - create a custom archtype Open questions: Do I need anything apart from an HTTP/FTP server for the central repository? Will the default repository be overridden if I name our repository location "central"? Where do I have to place the pom with our defaults? Can anybody send me a sample for a company wide "super pom"? The "Guide to creating Archtypes" states that the archtype descriptor should be places into "src/main/resources/META-INF/". Which src directory is referred to here? I hope some of the gurus out there can give me some hints or a link to a detailed tutorial for Maven2. Regards Stefan
