Silly newbie question
Hi
Just getting starting with Maven (as a replacement for Ant) and I'm
attempting to use the Cactus plugin, but without much success. My
Cactus tests aren't compiling (the Cactus imports can't be found), but
if I look in Maven's repository, there are the Cactus jars. I don't
have a dependency entry in my project.xml file (I looked at several
Jakarta project files--like the Turbine project.xml--and they did not
reference cactus there). I've also attempted to add a reference to
cactus in the dependency list, but each time Maven can't download the
jar file. What am I missing?
TIA

Thanks. I was trying to fool Maven, because the Cactus jars were in the
repository (albeit with longer dev release names), and I couldn't get
Maven to see those jars. But, I simply replaced those jars with the
jars I was using with Ant (simply named cactus-1.5.jar and
cactus-ant-1.5.jar) and updated my project.xml and everything is working
fine.

You don't need to add any dependency for cactus. This is handled by the
Cactus plugin itself.
Maybe you can have a look at the sample application in
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/src/plugins-build/cactus/sample/
Thanks

Brian,
I haven't run Cactus but typically you need to tell Maven what JARs you
want even for activities unrelated to simple compilation. You mentioned
that you tried to add a <dependency> for Cactus but it didn't download.
You should probably look into why that is happening. If you can't get
that to work, you can at least "short-circuit" the JAR download and
simply put the Cactus JAR in your Maven repository. BTW, another handy
trick with Maven is to run it with the '-X' option which will print out
in great detail exactly what it is executing and, more importantly
perhaps, the CLASSPATH it is using.
Hope this helps.

Hi Brian,
Have you solved your problem? If not I would suggest you have a look at
the cactus sample project at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/src/plugins-build/cactus/sample/
Hope it helps,
