It's embarrassing that I should have to ask how to make a simple change to a makefile, but I'm finding Maven to be one of the most bewildering, overly complex pieces of software I've run into.
I've added some Java code within dspace-api, in our own package. Maven sees that, with no problem, and tries to compile it. But for it to compile successfully, it needs to use a couple of .jar files which we have previously developed here. I've put the jars into (dspace/target/dspace-1.5.0-build.dir/lib/), but that's not enough to get them picked up. I'm guessing that I have to add <dependency> tags to pom.xml, but can't find any documentation which I can comprehend. The pom reference page (http://maven.apache.org/pom.html) talks about the groupId and artifactId, but neither one of these seems to be the name or path of the jar file. The packaging tag tells Maven that it _is_ a jar file, but apparently nothing more specific than that. Could someone point me at a simple explanation of how to get this to work? -- Gary McGath Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University Libraries, Office for Information Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
