Hudson tends to work well with maven projects in general. > In my personal experience the tooling (specifically IDE integration) > just recently got to the point where I can start using Maven for > everything (thanks to Q4E now Eclipse IAM).

And running nexus for a local proxy is a complete cinch. I've got it set up locally on my laptop, which is great for working away from wifi. The native maven support in NetBeans 6.7 is good, but it still has one drawback relative to m2eclipse. It doesn't recognise that a dependency is already in the workspace, so you have to Build your dependency first. -Dom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
