Hi there Gerard, Yes the same result can be achived within Maven. I have found the best way to work with this would be to setup a multi project structure.
my-root-proj -pom.xml -my-ear-proj --standard folder structure --pom.xml, (EAR output) -my-web-proj --standard folder structure --pom.xml, (WAR output) -my-core-proj --standard folder structure --pom.xml, (JAR output) The following can be used to try and get an understanding multi project setup and building WAR and EAR deployment files. http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-webapp.html http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ide-eclipse.html http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/ I have included the link to the standard structure layout because you will then be able to see what is similar in you ANT build files/existing project structures. Hope this helps you to get started. Trent On 29/03/06, Gerard Garrigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I've been asked to convert a project over to Maven.
