in a situation like that I would recommend to configure the maven- dependency- plugin to copy all the dependencies into the lib folder as part of the process-resources lifecycle phase and additionally the clean plugin to delete the file from the lib folder. That way mvn clean will remove the files in the lib folder but mvn compile or mvn install or whatever will pretty much as first step after clean copy the jars of all dependencies (including transitive ones) into the lib folder. Then you just have to configure your ide to look that. I have had good experience with this migrating from ant builds to maven build as well. Maven could at a minimum take over the dependency management with this with a simple mvn call from ant.. manfred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
