Jars in new maven structure

[Travis Reeder <tr...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Can someone please fill me in on this new maven structure with regards to
jars, excuse my ignorance, I've never used Maven before.

I decided to start from a fresh new checkout since so much has changed and
I've run mvn install with no problems.  So now I'm trying to set things up
in Idea, but it's not quite a smooth process.

My questions:
1.  Where are all the required jars??  The only jars I see are in the
exploded examples directories.  What about jsp-api, servlet-api, porlet,
junit, struts, and the other jars that are required?  Shouldn't each module
have it's own /lib directory with the jars it requires?
2.  How is maven runnings tests if junit isn't there?
3.  How is maven compiling things if the required jars aren't there?
4.  How is anybody working on things with all these strange things going
on?  ;)

Or are we just waiting for this maven stuff to blow over for now?

Travis

I had done this, and after 'mvn idea:idea' i need to setup the
dependencies and order for the modules. Otherwise changes in other
modules are missed until a 'mvn install' in the other module.

No.  Maven handles the dependencies and will download them into your
"local repository".  Usually that's in your home directory,
~/.m2/repository (I think) unless you move it by configuring a new
location in ~/.m2/settings.xml .

See above. :)

If you're using IDEA, execute:
   $ mvn idea:idea

and Maven will generate the project files for you.  (I haven't
actually tried this with MyFaces, or a complex multi-module build
though... )
