[M1] Using source files of another project
Hi,
I'm using Maven 1.0.2 and on one maven project I need to use the java source
files of another maven project. Any ideas how I can do it in the best way?
(ie. in one maven project, it's source files references the source files in
another project)
I need to keep the two sets of maven source files separate.
Thanks,
Mike

So, you aren't dependent on the source (.java), you are dependent on
the compiled code. You will need to put the dependency on folder2 in
folder3's POM; and the dependency on folder1 in folder2's POM. Then
you will need to run the multiproject artifact-install goal. Maven
will determine which folder needs to be built first (folder1?),
compile it, JAR it, and copy it to your local repository. Then, it
will decide that folder2 needs to be built next, it will use the
folder1 jar from the repository when compiling folder2, and so on...
HTHs,
Jamie

Thanks very much for your help. I'll try to describe the use case. :)
In a similar scenerio, I have:
mainprojectfolder:
+folder1
+folder2
+folder3
+ src
+ net
+ test
+ File1.java
+folder4
+globalbuildfolder
Each folder has an Ant build.xml file, where globalbuildfolder is a folder
where global properties go, creates a EAR from all the folders etc.
I'm converting to Maven 1.0.2, and so I'm going to have a project.xml in
each folder1, 2 etc, which all <extend> the project.xml globalbuildfolder. I
then have a case where the java src code in folder2 relies on the java src
code in folder3. What I mean by this is that a class in folder2 imports a
class which is in folder3 (like above, a class in folder2 does: import
net.test.File1;)
As you can appreciate because I am coverting to Maven 1.0.2, and people have
been and are working on these projects, I can't restructure the
folders/filesystem etc.
Many thanks,
Michael Owen

We usually discourage coupling projects like that - it breaks its
encapsulation (unless you build a source JAR from the first project
and depend on it in the second to extract and then use for compilation
- but that sounds very long winded).
What is the specific use case you are trying to solve?
