[m2] Need some direction for my first Maven steps
Hi,
I read the getting started guide on the Maven website and searched
through the mail archives but I still have no die how to achieve what
I'm looking for:
What I'd like to do:
- Create a central Maven repository in our company.
- Have a "Super POM" which includes our company wide
defaults (e.g: force checkstyle, link toour central bug reporting tool)
all our project POMs should get the defaults from this pom.
- create a custom archtype
Open questions:
Do I need anything apart from an HTTP/FTP server for the
central repository?
Will the default repository be overridden if I name our repository
location "central"?
Where do I have to place the pom with our defaults?
Can anybody send me a sample for a company wide "super pom"?
The "Guide to creating Archtypes" states that the archtype descriptor
should be places into "src/main/resources/META-INF/". Which src
directory is referred to here?
I hope some of the gurus out there can give me some hints or a link to a
detailed tutorial for Maven2.
Regards
Stefan

Also, you should take a look at Maven-Proxy. This way the jars will be
downloaded one time for the whole enterprise instead of being downloaded for
every single developpers. I have set Maven Proxy and my corporation central
repository at the same location to avoid having Maven looking on central
Maven repository first for internal jars.

Yes, you can live with an HTTP server for the central repository.
I have no answer for your "central" question.
The parent pom with your defaults just needs to be available to your
descendant poms. You can define its location using "relativePath" if you
wish.
"src/main/resources/META-INF/" is not figurative. The path is literal. So if
you are in project P, the descriptor should be in
"P/src/main/resources/META-INF".
I'm sure you've seen it, but http://maven.apache.org/guides is really the
main repository of knowledge.
