[M2] putting it all together for 1st project

[Adam Hardy <ad...@cyberspaceroad.com>]

Perhaps this will email will actually be useful as a piece of 
documentation, since I couldn't find this on the maven2 website. I have 
a couple of questions in here as well:

setting up a web project

* have got to the point where 'Getting Started' finishes

* as it is simple stuff with a single user at this point, I don't need 
~/.m2/settings.xml yet

* dependencies listed in my pom.xml, using versions available on 
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/

* dependencies that are licensed & therefore not on ibiblio must be 
downloaded and manually placed in my own local repository, which maven 
automatically set up at the start. Should I try to follow the new M2 
structure? What would that group id and the dir structure be for 
javax.xml.bind.* or jaxb v1.0.5 for jaxb-api.jar, jaxb-impl.jar, 
jaxb-libs.jar and jaxb-xjc.jar? javax.xml.bind? I can't find any 
documentation that gives advice on this.

* what do i do with the other xml related jars that come out of the Java 
Web Services Developer Pack's shared dir? namespace, relaxng, xsdlib? 
Same question as above I guess.

* on each licensed dependency, I make a *.pom file with minimal content 
and put it in the local repo - what is the minimal content? Can it be 
absolutely empty? I saw jdbc:jdbc:jdbc-2.0.pom on ibiblio. Are any more 
pom files going to be put on ibiblio? If so, again some advice would be 
good.

* cranky ones like jdbc-2.0 could be explained with a note in the *.pom 
on ibiblio - I had to google for this piece of advice:

If/when Maven complains about not being able to download jdbc-2.0.jar 
and jndi-1.2.1.jar you will need to download these manually and install 
them in your local Maven repository due to licensing. jdbc-2.0 is 
available at [WWW] http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html under 
the file name jdbc2_0-stdext.jar (click on the download link for JDBC 
2.0 Optional Package Binary to get it). Download it, rename it to 
jdbc-2.0.jar and put it into the .maven/repository/jdbc/jars in your 
home directory. jndi-1_2_1.zip is available from [WWW] 
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/downloads/ (click the download link 
for Download JNDI 1.2.1 & More to get to it) - copy the file 
lib/jndi.jar into the directory .maven/repository/jndi/jars in your home 
diretory and rename it to jndi-1.2.1.jar. Do same for other jars.


Hope this is informative, and thanks in advance for any answers.

Ok, the best thing to do here is to report anything you can't find on
ibiblio. Even stuff that we can't distribute the binary for, we can
put up a POM for so that we can give a better error message, as you
saw with the jdbc example.

Yes, some of these probably are distributable and should be located
and uploaded.

Please submit any you create to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV.
The JDBC one gives a good indication: group ID, artifact ID and
version are all that is needed to work, but to upload we'd like name,
description, download URL, and dependencies if it has any.

Thanks,
Brett
