Various newbie questions

[Aaron Robinson <aa...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I've just started with Maven and have a number of question. Thanks to all in 
advance.

- Is there somewhere to download the Maven documents? I'm installing Maven 
on an offline laptop and want to work through the getting started guides etc 
offline
- It isn't that obvious as to whatyou have to do with the properties files 
when you are starting out with a new project. I have created a starting 
folder for my project and used the maven com.mycompany.project genapp stuff 
and it's created all my folders as expected. At what point do I start 
creating properties files?
- I am developing a J2EE framework, some sampl code independent of the 
framework and applications built on top of the framework. How would this be 
set up in Maven. Would I have separate projects for the framework and sample 
code, have these projects create jars and then have some kind of dependency 
between the functional project and the framework?
- Does anyone have a sample J2EE project I could have - this would be really 
useful on the site - if it isn't there already
- How do I set up the local repository (I assume this is what I need as I'm 
working offline)
- Is there any integration with tools such as anthill or cruise control? 
Would these 'call' maven in the same way they would have called an ant 
script?
- As I am writing a framework I need to be able to support multiple release 
versions, multiple app servers and app server versions. Can maven support 
this? I'll want to be able to sepcify releases (presumably these would be 
projects) and then kick off a process to build a client specific realease

Thanks
Aaron
