Need help in organizing a maven project
Hi All,
I'm new to maven and xdoclet and I have a confusion in organizing my project. I need to run ejbdoclet and hibernatedoclet on my source, then compile. After this, I need to create 2 jar files, each of them containing some files from the previous steps' output.
By default, one jar is created as the artifact. This one contains ALL the class files, but this isnt what I want (I need only some of them to be present in the jar). The rest of the class files (with some overlap) should go into another jar.
I'm not sure how to exclude .class files from the artifact coz they seem to be happening by default. Also, I tried creating a new project for the 2nd jar, extending the previous. Now, I need some way to copy the class files I need from the parent and jar them up. I used "jar:jar" as the default goal for this new project, extended the previous project, added the parent's classes as resources. But this new one seems to be running ejbdoc let, trying to create xml files (all this is being done only in the previous proj), throwing a lot of errors.
Please help me by giving a proper way to accomplish this task.
Thanks
Karthik.

Oh sorry I have almost never used maven 1 so I can't help you there.

Re: Need help in organizing a maven project

Thanks again. Your explanation is fine. I have a few questions specific to my case -
1) I use maven 1.0.2, since there doesnt seem to be a good netbeans mevenide plugin for maven 2. Many things explained in the link you gave dont seem to be present in maven 1.0.2. Do you think I can still go in the same way?
2) In maven 1.0.2, adding an <extend> created some problems for me. The child project just needed some files from the parent (NOT as classpath, but a copy of some of the class files generated by the parent, to be added to its own jar). Now when I added the <extend> to the child, it started executing the ejbdoclet tasks defined in the parent (the child is just a simple jar:jar task and nothing more). I'm not sure if this is the way parent-child is supposed to work.
3) Suppose a project compiles and generates a bunch of classes. At the end, maven jars it all up to create the artifact. Now, is there a way for me to exclude some of the compiled classes from being added to the artifact? You may want to ask me not to compile those unwanted classes at all, but thats not an option for me. In other words, is it true that ALL the classes in the target folder will always go into the final jar? Can it be controlled?
Thanks

So the idea now is to create a parent project using the structure
explained in the document:
+- pom.xml
+-my-commons

+- my-ejb

Don't forget to declare the parents in the children pom.xml like it is

Now just add a dependency in both my-webapp and my-ejb pom.xml files
pointing on the my-commons project. Then add two dependencies in the
my-app-ear pom.xml file pointing on my-webapp and my-ejb projects.
Finally, declare the my-app-ear packaging as "ear" then you'll need to
do to get your ear is run "mvn packaging" in the parent project
directory.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I'm not sure if I explained properly. Below is my requirement:
myproj.ear
-- myproj-bean.jar
-- myproj.war
-- all jsps, css
-- WEB-INF/lib/myproj-web.jar
-- WEB-INF/lib/(other 3rd party jars)
-- meta-inf
-- application.xml
-- some 3rd party jar files
-- some config files
In the above, you can see 2 jars, myproj-bean.jar and myproj-web.jar. I have one set of source files which generate classes and xml files. From this output, I have to pick some class files for myproj-web.jar, and put the remaining (with some overlap) in myproj-bean.jar.
Please tell me how I can create maven project for this (the parent-child relationships, the folder structure etc.)
Thanks
Karthik.

First, from what I understand you want two jars for your ejb, ie.
