Maven newbie questions

[srinivas ramgopal <sk...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I am new to Maven.

1) What is the purpose of remote repository (other than ibilbilo) 

2) Whenever a file is modified in a maven project how is the SNAPSHOT jar
updated in the remote repository?

3) Are there two different ways to adding a dependency jar and a project
artifact jar to the remote repository?

4) Is maven 'deploy' goal and actualy copying of a dependency or artifact
jar to remote repository same?


Thanks in advance.

Actually, simply copying the artifact to the repo is *not* the same as
using deploy. The deploy goal will update various metadata files,
create the md5 and sha1 checksum files, and can optionally create
missing pom files etc along with actually copying the artifact file.

So there is a significant difference between the copying the file and
using deploy.

Ok, lemme see if I can do this one - being a newbie myself :)

To store stuff not in ibiblio - for example your own stuff

Using mvn deploy, after inserting proper <distributionManagement/> 
section into your pom

Not sure I understand that one.

Yes, I guess... artifact != jar. an artifact can be anything, but will 
include at least a pom. What the artifact will be depends on your 
<packaging/> setting.
