> maven documentation crippled and braindead as what a newbie needs to see. nine months ago, it took me a couple days to get my first maven to work. and this week, almost as long to get my first multiproject to work.
> there're tons of examples of newbie documentation for other tools in the world, so I just don't get why the most simpliest of concepts are lost such as an examples using the code ...
> so my rant includes the observation of "many hours" to first multiproject:install would have been avoided if:
> 1. the example maven project.* files depicted on the wiki CreatingJ2eeApplications actually worked. they do not!!!!! When I run it, maven does not detect any of the subprojects. It prints a short few comments, basically shugging its shoulders in a big "ah, I dunno. nothing to do. you win!" in short, the maven.xml files screw everything up. nice to know you can drop a maven.xml into an subproject tree, but maybe a simpler example -- or 2 or 3 -- would build some confidence up before trying that maven.xml stuff......
> 2. Someone actually documented what command lines to run, starting with 'multiproject:install'. Plus, some example goals that you might want OTHER than 'multiproject:install'. Like clean. (I wasn't too crazy that it dumped my jar into my local maven repository, so like describing what will happen when you run these goals would have been nice.)
> 3. someone update the CreatingJ2eeApplications wiki page to reflect KevinRoss source code (hidden away in the small print). THAT actually works out of the box.
> end rant
