[Trinidad] OT: Seeking info re: using Maven w/JDeveloper

[Eric Adamson <de...@ericadamson.com>]

First off, please pardon my intrusion.  I'm a developer with the State of
Michigan, and am currently evaluating Maven as a possible build tool for any
upcoming project.  My boss is determined to use JDeveloper, which concerns
me a bit, as I would prefer that we offer developers flexibility in choosing
IDE's, and more importantly I want our build process to be IDE-independent.

Using Maven, and generating IDE-specific project files from POM.XML looks
like a good way to manage this.  It is my understanding that the Trinidad
team have dealt with this very issue, going so far (thankfully) to have
written a Maven plugin for generating JPR & JWS files.  I would appreciate
any information that the team might care to share, regarding the level of
success gained by this approach.

Also, as we are currently working with the JDev 11g Tech Preview, I am
curious to know whether any efforts are underway (or planned) to adapt the
aforementioned plugin to newer JPR/JWS formats.  I may also possibly be
interested in contributing to these efforts.

Thanks in advance, for any info/advice you can provide.

Hi Eric,

it sounds reasonable to have the build independent from any IDE.
When you build is based on maven, you can use the JDEV-Plugin to
generate the required project files, that's right. That works good.

The plain build, you usually run by invoking "mvn clean install";
afterwards, call "mvn jdev:jdev" (see above) and the files are there,
to be opened in the JDeveloper.


To have "mvn jdev:jdev" working, you have to add the jdev-plugin to
the plugins section of your pom.xml or have this entry in your
settings:
...
  <pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>org.apache.myfaces.trinidadbuild</pluginGroup>
  </pluginGroups>
...

Regarding the 11g, it is planed to support this IDE as well.

HTH,
Matthias
