NPanday-Visual studio plugin

Dear NPanday Team

 

I want to ask you a question about the NPanday plugin.

 

I wanted to add a dependency from maven central but I had some problems with
it. First, I added the maven central repository url over “Configure
Repository” (Add Maven Aritfact). Second, I clicked on the Remote tab and
wanted to add the reference but here weren’t any listed. So I tried to add
it manual to the pom and the build/install worked, the dll was added to the
target folder but in Visual studio, the reference wasn’t listed and it was
impossible to run the code. Is there any way to solve this problem?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best regards

François Thillen

I've just done some work to improve this on trunk - hopefully it will improve in future. IT does work in 1.4.0, but is fussy - try the right trailing / on the URL, that "releases" is checked, and check that the settings.xml contains what you'd expect.

The addin is not bidirectional from the POM - it keeps the POM up to date with the VS project, but not vice-versa. However, given you've now resolved the artifact, you can probably get it added in one of two ways:
- add it as a maven artifact, using the local tab
- add it as a reference, pointing to the file obtained in the local repository or target directory

They should stay in sync after that.
