Trouble Getting Going with 1.4.0

I used

    * npanday-repository-builder-1.4.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz
    * npanday-installer-1.4.0-incubating.msi

to set up NPanday, and I was able to set up my POMs ok.

I'm trying to get NPanday to work with Visual Studio 2010, but when I 
try to add and artifact I get



Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Cheers, Eric

Is your local repository set to the Maven Default? <UserProfile>/.m2/ ?
There are extra procedures you have to make if this is the case.

Thanks,

OK, I'm beginning to understand - I have been spoiled by m2e and Java ;-)
I need to lower my expectations until the .NET world catches up.

So, in the mean time it's up to me to find other people who have 
repositories I can tap into? Fair enough, I've had to do that a few 
times with Maven. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a Maven 
repository (via Google) for log4net, at least it seems Apache don't have 
one.  Does anyone have any advice on how to find external repositories 
for .NET artifacts (i.e. DLLs)?

OK, hopefully someone will respond. It's a little frustrating that I 
cant' even get a simple build to work.

This is years ago :-) 
http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/How-to-make-manual-artifacts-using-classifiers-td328342.html

We do not maintain a repository with all open source artifacts, like 
Maven Central. This had to be done by each individual project, as it is 
been done in Java.

Again, adoption is not broad enough.

So we find ourselves deploying things we need in our private enterprise 
repository (Archiva, Artifactory or Nexus). Then we can decide ourselves 
on group ids, e.g.

Visual Studio/MS just released Nuget, which already has quite some libs 
online. It also comes with dependency management. We plan to integrate 
with the nuget Gallery in some future version. (like Sonatype Tycho 
integrates with Eclipse p2-Repos)

I have no idea where this is located - I thought the point of Maven and 
having a central repository was I should not have to care.

I took the XML from some place I found on a Google search, hoping that 
if someone else had used it, then it might work for me.

Where would I find the stack trace?

By the way, whenever I start Visual Studio I keep getting the following 
message

Re: Trouble Getting Going with 1.4.0

Posted by Josimpson Ocaba <jo...@maestrodev.com>.
+1 on 1.4.0

Although I'd like to note that there is a build failure on building wpf
projects missing error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Automation' does
not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)

I think this could be a potential blocker since this is a regression. It
fails to build on VS2008 and VS2010 WPF project types.

We could open this on a different issue and note it as a regression and work
on it on the next follow up release.

Thanks,

to my POM, but if I try to do a build I get

    Error in Starting Maven Process: Value cannot be null.
    Parameter name: path1

I still cannot believe how hard this is to get working.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should try next.

Cheers, Eric

Yes, I found that page already, but it does not give me a URL for any 
remote repositories. How am I supposed to know where they are?

For example, how am I supposed to know how to find log4net?

You can add that dependency by configuring the remote repository.  Here's
the documentation for that ->
http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/docs/1.4.0-incubating/guide/vs/configureRepository.html

The npanday directory is located in /repository/releases/org/apache/npanday.

Truly I see the value in NPanday, and I understand it's bleeding edge 
technology at the moment. It's just that I'm tired and frustrated after 
so many hours of trying to get it working. I would really appreciate it 
if someone could get me to the point of being able to bring just one 
dependency into my project, preferably log4net.

I do agree with you that this is the way to go with .NET, so please keep 
working to improve NPanday and some-day I hope it will be as easy to use 
as m2e.

NP - it was just confusing for me as I was struggling to understand why 
I could not get things working properly.

I'm really sorry for the trouble you encounter. And we appreciate your 
interest in NPanday.

Though, you can't really compare NPanday and Visual Studio with Maven 
and Eclipse (yet). Allthough NPanday is in use by many, it is far from 
the broad adoption Maven has in the Java space. Hopefully this will not 
stay like it is. That is, what we work for.

Especially the NPanday VS Add-in serves very specific tasks (Project 
import, Reference sync). We hope to engage more users, contributors and 
committers to help us build a better NPanday.

I personally joined the project in late 2010, because I belive this is 
the way to go for building in .NET. But we have still much work to do.

So far, it's been worth it.

As liit already mentioned, we changed the group id to 
org.apache.npanday. This change was nessecary in order to comply with 
apache rules and to get npanday into Maven Central.

Re: Trouble Getting Going with 1.4.0

Posted by Eric Kolotyluk <er...@gmail.com>.
OK, there was no settings.xml in my ~/.m2 so I added the default one.

I have been using Maven and m2e for months never needing to do that, so 
I don't understand why NPanday needs it there? I would consider that a bug.

Now when I try to add an artifact it complains



How am I supposed to know where that is?

I've been struggling with NPanday for hours just because I want to try 
to add a dependency to log4net, and I still cannot see any light at the 
end of the tunnel.

It is so much easier to use the Sonatype plugin for Eclipse.

By the way, the file 
npanday-repository-builder-1.4.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz had no npanday 
directory in it, so I'm using the one from the 1.3.1 release.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,

The message from the pop-up was just a warning, so you should still be able
to add an artifact. What happens afterwards when you click OK?

The settings.xml file btw, is a configuration file used by Maven where you
can set the repositories that you want Maven to look for
artifacts/dependencies of your project when you build it. It is also used by
NPanday in a similar way during project import, artifact re-sync and when
building your project.

Thanks,
Deng
