newbie questions

[Vinicius Caldeira Carvalho <vi...@squadra.com.br>]

Hello there. I'm creating my first project using maven. I have some good 
experience with ant. So far It seems the COOLEST Project management around.
I have a feel questions, simple ones I believe :D

1st. I have some libs not present on the ibiblio (jta, mail, activation, 
concurrent-1.3.4) and my project depends on them, how do I set 
dependencies for that?

2nd. When building a war file, how do I specify which aditional libs to 
add? Those not found on the REPO?


Thanks and best regards

Vinicius

Put them in your local repository, same as the ones Maven downloads,
and declare them as dependencies in your pom. Eg.
~/.maven/repository/concurrent/jars/concurrent-1.3.4.jar, and then in
your pom:
<dependency>
  <groupId>concurrent</groupId>
  <artifactId>concurrent</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.4</version>
</dependency>

In your dependencies:
  <properties>
    <war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
  </properties>

The 'right way' is probably to setup your own remote repository. I did so 
for sun jar's I needed that were not available at ibiblio. If the unique 
jar's don't follow the version naming convention, then use the <jar> tag to 
specify the jar name. Here is my example:
<dependency>
<groupId>sun</groupId>
<artifactId>j2ee</artifactId>
<jar>j2ee.jar</jar>
</dependency> 


You can also 'hack it' by putting it in your local repository too 
(~/.maven/repository)

Same as usual dependency declaration just set the war.bundle property = 
true. See the docs for the war plugin. (
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/war/)

Good luck

Hi Vinicius,

You have two options:
1. You can set up your own repository. Good news: it's quite simple. If you 
have a web server or some public dir that's available via http, you can 
mimic the structure of your local repository (look at ~/.maven/repository) 
and recreate it in your public dir (with only the jars you need). Once 
you've created it, you need to tell maven to look in your new repo, by 
adding the "maven.repo.remote" to your ~/build.properties file, like this:

maven.repo.remote=http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,http://www.myserver.com/my_repo

If maven fails to find something in ibiblio, it will also look in your own 
repo. neat eh? :) Look at http://maven.apache.org/using/repositories.html 
and http://maven.apache.org/reference/internal-repositories.html for more 
information.

2. If you don't have your own server, you can use the "jar override" 
feature, documented at 
http://maven.apache.org/using/managing-dependencies.html - this allows you 
to specify that a certain dependency is located elsewhere, locally.

Have fun! :)
