Thanks Leif,

Some of the other jars although open source are not in a repository as such. 
Some are stored in a local version control system. I am working on getting 
everything into repositories and versioned. I plan to pack all the .java source 
files into the jars in the hope that this will allow for debugging in my Maven 
project.

When developing in my Maven project, I expect that often I will have a need to 
change something in one of the dependencies. To do this the workflow I am 
considering is:

1.       Make that change in the dependency (modify the source code in another 
Netbeans project, recompile the dependent library, run the unit tests, commit 
this to the repository)

2.       Delete the jar from my local maven repository

3.       Try to run again (hopefully Maven will then download the new version 
of the dependency)

I am not sure if that is a good workflow, but that is what I was thinking to 
try.

Thanks again,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Maybe you've done this already, but try looking for your "other jars" in Maven 
Central ( http://search.maven.org ), most FOSS projects deploy there. If you 
have other proprietary jars then yes you'll need to host them in a local 
repository so Maven can find them.

Hi,

I am using GeoTools to develop some geographical maps for a project. I have an 
existing code base, but I'm not sure how best to use this with GeoTools and do 
my development in Netbeans. I am a Maven novice and would appreciate some good 
advice.

The existing code based has a number of dependencies (other jars).

I am using Netbeans 8.0.1. (there does not seem to be a way to use maven 
projects in non-maven projects and vice versa).

I am trying the following:
Move existing code base into the maven project I got up and running following 
the tutorials (http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/).
Move all the jars that are not in a repository into one.
Add the repositories to the pom.xml.

Is this a sensible way forward? Is there a better way?

Thanks for your help.

Andy
