Problem with multiple projects.

[kiran malla <ki...@bsil.com>]

Hi All,
        I am mavenizing the whole code base. The structure is as follows:

Main Project
        |
        |
        --sub project 1
        |
        |
        --sub project 2
        |
        |
        --sub project 3

        The problem is currently i have project.xml and project.properties
in each of these sub projects. I want o/p along the lines of
http://db.apache.org/ where u have subprojects in the main page and user can
view a particular project after following a particular link.

        Currently when i give hte command maven...it picks up all sub
projects and prepares seperate zip,tar and other distributions...i want
something like a common jar/war/ zip which contains all the sub projects.. i
mean so that i can deploy it on a web server...Infact my requirement is
exactly that of http://db.apache.org/  look and feel...so that i can go to
individual projects from a main homepage....where subprojects are generated
and automatcally get reflected in the man site.

        Please provide your valuable inputs regarding my queries...

Any suggestions would be welcome:)


Maven.xml currenlty being used by me:
*******************************************
<project
  default="site"
  xmlns:j="jelly:core"
  xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"

xmlns:velocity="jelly:org.apache.commons.jelly.tags.velocity.VelocityTagLibr
ary">

  <!--
   |
   | S I T E
   |
   -->
  <preGoal name="build">
    <attainGoal name="site"/>
  </preGoal>

  <goal name="site">

          <maven:reactor
            basedir="${basedir}"
            includes="*/project.xml"
            excludes=""
            goals="clean,site:generate,dist"
            banner="Building"
            ignoreFailures="false"
          />

    <fileScanner var="templates">
      <fileset dir="${basedir}/templates">
        <include name="*.xml"/>
      </fileset>
    </fileScanner>

    <j:forEach var="template" items="${templates.iterator()}">

      <j:set var="templateName" value="${template.name}"/>
      <echo>Processing ${templateName} template ...</echo>

      <velocity:merge
        name="${basedir}/xdocs/${templateName}"
        basedir="${basedir}/templates"
        template="${templateName}"/>

    </j:forEach>

  </goal>

</project>

Hi Kiran,

What about having the subprojects copying their jars and wars etc. to 
the top-level directory, say $basedir/dist ?

Then define a goal in the main maven.xml file that aggregates the jars 
and wars into a single deployable archive.
