questions about maven2

[debuti <so...@hotmail.com>]

Hi and happy new year!

I have two questions about maven2.

1) How to make a unique jar with all the dependencies, resources, etc. by
configuring maven? I tried the assembly plugin but i cant get it running :S

2)What would happen if one day the remote repo go offline? Our applications
can't be compiled again, i wonder if there is a way to save all the
dependencies of the preoject to a lib directory, each time you recompile..
is it?

Thanks :)

It sounds like the Assembly plugin's jar-with-dependencies option
might be what you need.  If you still need help, start a new thread
with more info about what you tried and what happened.

For an open source project, depending on the central repo is
preferable, but for anything else, especially corporate development,
you need a remote repository under your own control, backed up, etc.,
so that it can't just disappear.

You can start with a simple filesystem or webserver, then take a look
at the various repository managers such as Archiva, Nexus, and
Artifactory which have more features you'll need.

Take a look at the Dependency plugin for this, but it wouldn't be very
useful wrt being able to compile your project again.  A better choice
would be the Assembly plugin to create a zip file in remote repository
format (with poms and metadata) for all the dependencies.
