Hey! Great! Since mavnen config is pretty new to you, this is a great way to learn.
1) Is there some way to "change natures"? No. With Ant and scripts you can get a very specific build process, usually with som quircks and/or workarounds. I find using the Ant scripts and other scripts as inspiration and documentation for building up the pom, the best way to use them. But there are a bunch of tricks and tips in doing so. I think we went thru a few previously in this tread. 2) Create a new Maven project, place in SVN, then move stuff to the right places? I always presume people have a branch, a tag and a trunk folder, but if not have a look at some apache project and see how it's done. I usually do a poc in a branch to see if it all works out. (A copy or externals of the working trunk) You do not want to mess up your code, fail, get a new order for business/management, and desperatly revert trunk. You also want to tag a stable last version of your Ant built project. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Cohen [mailto:stevec...@comcast.net] Sent: 24. februar 2009 01:53 To: Maven Users List Subject: Mavenizing Existing Project Part Deux OK, after extensive discussion in earlier thread about the best way to go about Mavenizing Existing Project(s) in my, shall we say, unusual environment (see that thread for details, don't want to recapitulate them here) I have decided to try to move forward. First I have to learn this tool. I have used maven before, but mainly in the way of building from someone else's POM. Just type maven install or some such and bingo, the world is built. Now my goal is to have pre-existing non-Maven projects be mavenized. I am prepared to "throw the first one away". I also want to take this opportunity to start from a m2eclipse platform, so I have now installed that, even to the point of installing Ganymede because I couldn't get it to install in Europa. Although I know there is benefit to the command line tools, I'd like to start from eclipse, understanding that I can take the POM I produce and install it with command line tools. So my first question is this: How do I convert a non-Maven project into a Maven project? 1) Is there some way to "change natures"? 2) Create a new Maven project, place in SVN, then move stuff to the right places? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
