Thank you for quick response. Any way to do this by keeping lib directory?
You can but users will always have to manually install the artifacts to their local repository. You can provide them with a batch file or script for this. Like what Wendy said, you'll benefit more though if you could setup an internal repo. With several environments and different network zones across which builds are done (dev, QA, production), the transition from ANT to Maven needs happen in more gradually to reduce the risk on quality of the software delivery. There are several projects that uses both Ant and Maven builds. They could live along with each other so you're not obligated to overhaul your projects in one go.
In other words, without changing any directory structure, can I use Maven for full enterprise level J2EE application with EAR, JAR and WAR with WebLogic EJBs?
Although you could stick with your existing directory structure, you'll benefit more if you'll follow the best practices that Maven suggests. Like with the 3rd party jars, you can create a script to regularly copy files into a Maven 2 directory structure (with Maven 2 POMs) and have it built there. Use this until you're comfortable with your migration.

Normally you would install them in your local repository and then use a <dependency> element in your pom. If you're working with other developers, you'll probably want to establish an internal/corporate repository so that each developer doesn't have to install them individually. Then you won't need that "lib" directory at all, the jars in your local repository will be shared across all of your Maven-built projects. To include jars within a jar, I don't see a way to convince the jar plugin to do it: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/ but you can use the assembly plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/ -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
