Project directory structure setup with Buildr - possible?

[Jacek Laskowski <ja...@laskowski.net.pl>]

Hi,

I've just started evaluating buildr and am wondering whether buildr is
like ant or maven as far as project directory structure setup's
concerned. Whenever I evaluate a spec or technology I create a fresh
project to play with. I can easily automate the process with maven
archetype feature and hence I don't have to worry I'm on Eclipse, IDEA
or NetBeans (in no particular order) as long as the project
structure's recognized by the ide (and if it supports maven/ant
features it's its additional bonus). How is it with buildr? Do I need
a project laid out before buildr comes in or can I set up a project
structure with buildr too? How do you start a new project with buildr?
Do you create a project in IDE or maven archetype and run buildr
afterwards or is there an alternative to it?

Jacek

Hi, Jacek.
Buildr uses maven conventions for project structure, but there 's no
built-in archetype feature. When i start a project, i usually do this:

- Use Maven 2 archetype generation
- Run Buildr from the project dir. it sees the pom.xml and asks if you want
to create a basic Buildr script from it.
- Run 'buildr eclipse' to generate .classpath and .project
- In Eclipse, import from a existing project in file system

Now you have your pet project bound to Eclipse and Buildr. I didn 't try to
create a Buildr script from a complex pom.xml . I don't know how far it
goes.
