Is maven the right tool?
Hi,
We're looking for a method to store a list of our project files, and
metadata about the files.
We want to use the list to check for missing files and delete excess
files in our deployed projects.
Can we use Maven for this, or can anyone suggest something else?
Thanks
Antonio Broughton

If your projects are converted to Maven projects, you could use the verifier
plugin:

A fair point. I had purely thought of what he was expecting "out of the
box". What you describe is certainly achieveable and possibly quite
desirable the more I think about it.
Cheers,
Martin.

Even if Maven does not do this sort of thing out of the box, it seems
reasonable to think about building an environment-specific plugin that
could
do it. Checking for missing or excess files is similar in spirit to
using a
plugin to statically analyze your source code (like the CPD, Checkstyle,
or
FindBugs), or a different plugin to run tests and analyze code coverage
(like Surefire and Cobertura). That way, you could benefit from all the
standard features of Maven and extend it to support the extra things
that
only you might need.

It doesn't sound like Maven is really what you are looking for from your
description. Its repository does do some of those things but I think you
require a much more generic file management system.
