new to maven
Hi
I am new to Maven 2. I have been converting an application consisting of 4 eclipse projects, 3 producing library jars the the final one running the application.
I have got to the stage where every thing now compiles and the 3 jar files are deployed in my repository (I am using artifactory).
My application also compiles.
My issues is that despite a lot of reading I still can not work out how to run my application!
There are external jars required, these are set as dependencies in the POM.
What I would like to achieve is to be able to run the application from within the eclipse debug environment. To do this I need to get not only the generated jar files but also the library jars and the XML configuration files on the class path. Ideally also in a directory so that I can copy it and run the application on another machine.
I am sure this is not difficult to do but at this moment in time I am unable to work it out.
Ian

To run from eclipse you would have to look at the Eclipse plugin. [1] Basically, you would run mvn eclipse:eclipse (optional: -DdownloadSources=true and/or -DdownloadJavadoc=true) and create a M2_REPO variable inside Eclipse. This would set up your classpath for eclipse.
To create a runnable version of your application, take a look at the appassembler plugin[2]. This will create startup scripts, copy all your libs, generally just create the right structure in your target directory. After that, you can wrap it up with the assembly plugin[3], to create .zip, .tar.gz or such files.
