First time

[Chris Eidhof <ch...@eidhof.nl>]

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-time maven user. I quite like the idea, but I'm not sure  
how to do some things. I hope someone can help me!

First of all, I'm depending on quite some third-party jars. I want to  
use them, and I thought the way to go is doing it this way: http:// 
maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-installing-3rd-party-jars.html

Am I correct? And should I use "jar" as value for -Dpackaging?

Furthermore, I'm using a plugin-based system, and my directory- 
structure will look something like this:

launcher.jar
lib
   - platonos.jar
plugins
   - appcore-0.0.1.jar
   - 3dparty-1.0.3.ajr
   - 3dparty-1.4.16.jar

launcher.jar is an artifact generated by one of my modules, app- 
core-0.0.1.jar is an artificact generated by an other module, and the  
rest of the jars are 3d-party libraries. My setup will be something  
like this:

MyProject
   - Launcher module
   - AppCore module
   - Libraries module

Is it possible to generate this as output? I think I should write my  
own Maven-plugin?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Eidhof

Just make sure you specify -DgeneratePom=true when running mvn
install:install-file on those 3rd party jars. This is missing from
that webpage and will save you some headache.

And you should use packaging=jar for any of those 3rd party artifacts
which are jars -- if you have any wars or ears you're installing, you
should specify =war or =ear.

As for the project, I would just jump in head first with the help of
the free "Better Builds with Maven" book from Mergere
(http://library.mergere.com/) and this email list, and figure things
out while you're working, not afraid to radically restructure your
project when/if you realize you've got it set up wrong, etc.

Good luck...

Wayne
