Lachlan, >would you mind sharing a little more about your use of maven?
I'd be happy to. >Firstly, how does this differ from woproject's maven stuff? >http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/WOProject-Maven2 >From memory, the WOProject Maven stuff uses a Maven Ant Plug-in to build a >WebObjects application as a .woa from Maven. My understanding is that it ends >up running the same ant task that you would run from Eclipse - but the Maven >plug-in allows you to call it from a Maven build. (My memory might be wrong >here - or it may have changed since I last looked at it) In contrast, I'm using Maven to build a WAR and I don't need any plug-ins to do this (as Maven supports building WARs 'out of the box'). The 'wocreator' plug-in I linked to is just a handy shortcut to create a Maven project (Like the WOLips 'new project' wizard) - the actual build process itself doesn't require any special plug-ins. >Is there a remote repository already set up, either at objectstyle or >otherwise, with the relevant plugins available? I believe there is a Maven repository containing the WOProject Maven plug-ins - not sure where though. The main thing you need a repository for though is the WebObjects jars themselves. Unfortunately, Apple don't make the WebObjects jars available in this way - but you can easily extract them from an installed copy of WebObjects (see the scripts on the wocreator site for examples of how to do this). >- is it possible to set up an additional maven repo (e.g., local to >trunk) that can be checked in/out of svn I'm not really sure what you mean by this - or what you'd be hoping to achieve. >- what's the maven target for building a framework project as a .jar >and/or .framework I build frameworks as .jars using the standard 'mvn package' goal which will create a .jar from your project's source code if your project file (pom.xml) specifies 'jar' as the 'packaging'. I haven't used Maven to build a .framework so I'm not sure what the goal is - but I believe this is supported by the WOProject Maven plug-ins >- and for a woapp, building as a woa?

There is a screencast on the wocreator site - perhaps I should add a link to the relevant section of the wiki.
