New to Maven2 - is it ready?
Hi,
We use maven today, but have used it like ant (meaning we have not used it as it was intended, with repository etc.)
Now we want to clean up and use it properly, but then again, maybe we should go straight to maven2.
My question is this. Given our needs, what do we do to use Maven2 (now). Do we write a lot of own custom plugins, or is this available for us?
Our building process need to do:
* Jar => OK
* War => OK
* Xdoclets / ejb
* copyFiles (for deploying jar/war to local jboss etc)
* axis java2wsdl
* axis wsdl2java (generering av test-klient)
* JasperReports (today we use a ant compile task)
I would also like to know if anybody has started to use the plugins you will probably mention.
mvh

So far, I don't think its quite ready... I've had no end of trouble even
converting a simple project to use it... mostly the problems are from bad
POMs but a few issues have cropped up where plugin are not doing what they
should... there have not been a lot of issues, but enough that for me, it
isn't worth converting *yet*... I'm giving things a bit to settle before I
do a full-scale conversion.
That said, if your going to stick to maven 1 I would strongly advise you set
it up properly and even modify your projet to have a clean m2 structure...
it will help when you do move over.

I would say its ready i my self use it at my customer, and find it very good.
when it comes to the build needs you mention you will find many of them here
http://mojo.codehaus.org/
there you will find plugins to support most of your needs.
also you would like to look at http://cargo.codehaus.org/ for deployment needs.
and if you still do not find all you need, you could while you wait
for someone to make a plugin for you, or you write one for yourself
always use the antrun plugin to execute ant tasks that would do the
trick
