Ok, thanks Peter and Jo for your responses they were very helpful. Kind Regards, Robert Den 2007-05-30 13:31:01 skrev Hayes, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Two ways : Maven Plugin for Eclipse Use the maven plugin for eclipse (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/index.html), i.e. mvn eclipse:eclipse. This will generate (modify if already existing) a .project and a .classpath file for your eclipse project or if you have a multi-module build, it will repeat this process for each module. The key piece that you are looking for is that for multi-module projects, it will create an eclipse project reference in the generated .classpath file. Eclipse Plugin for Maven The m2eclipse plugin (http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/) which is what you are using is a dynamic classpath manager in that it reads your pom.xml files for your projects and manages an eclipse classpath container which reflects your maven dependencies. As of version 0.0.10, the plugin will automatically reference other projects in your eclipse workspace if those projects (groupId, artifactId & versionId) are the same as one of your dependencies. This is a really nice feature though I have found the plugin to be somewhat unstable when changing dependencies and / or using inherited dependency management versioning. For our projects, we have been using the Maven Plugin for Eclipse as it "just works" though I am waiting to move to the m2eclipse plugin once it improves stability and "just works" as its dynamic nature promises easier use. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Blixt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 4:42 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: M2 Eclipse project dependency Hi, I'm trying to get a handle on Maven2 (Been using Ant for a while, and this seems to be the next logical step). However, I've stumpled upon some problems. I have two projects (Project A and B). Project A is dependent on project B. (I'm using Eclipse IDE with Maven plugin). I know how to create a jar of project B and make a dependency of that in project A. But I would like to make a dependency directly to the Eclipse project. So I do not need to create a jar each time I've updated project B. Is this possible? What is the preferred way to deal with this?
