Maven repository - Confusing (any ideas?)

[Th...@stpaul.com]

I had sent this message last week.  Did anyone have any thoughts or require
further explanation?

What is the future preferred direction of the deployment mechanisms in
Maven?  I see the Artifact plugin and the Deploy plugin.  When doing
multiproject:deploy, it uses the Artifact plugin for the ejb and ear stuff.
But for deploying the jars within that multiproject, it uses jar:deploy,
which in RC2 uses the Deploy plugin.  I modified my jar plugin jelly to use
the Artifact plugin, then it works using the Artifact plugin.

Shouldn't the deployment mechanism be consistent among the plugins?  Which
plugin is the preferred method?

Also, is there a document that tells someone how to setup a maven
repository within a company (something similar to the ibiblio.org
repository), that the Maven build machine can use for dependencies and
deployment and the developers can point their WSAD/Eclipse towards.

I have been struggling with this.  I do have the following in my
multiproject project.properties, which seems to work with deployment of the
generated artifacts, but not for the multiproject:site goal.  Am I on the
right track?
maven.repo.list=R4
maven.repo.R4=file:////<machinename>/c$/Inetpub/wwwroot   (W2K share)
maven.repo.R4.directory=maven

Thank you for your help.

- Tom

We will be using Wagon which has been integrated into maven2 already and
will be easy to integrate into maven1 too. Currently Wagon supports
getting and putting of artifacts via http(s)/ftp/scp and simple files.

The artifact plugin was the beginning of the work that Michal did for a
general mechanism. The ideas have been rolled into Wagon which will be
released in alpha form over the next few weeks. Alpha more because we
need feedback on the API the code itself is stable and tested.

It definitely should and will be once Wagon is integrated.

In short you simply have to setup your repository in the same format as
you see at ibiblio.

We'll try to integrate Wagon asap as this has been the intention. But
you'll have to wait a bit because Michal just went on vacation for 8
days and he's generally pretty busy anyway :-)
