Re: Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
Thank you for the suggestion Bernd, Do you have an example you can share? There are hundreds of jar files in the $TOMCAT_HOME//WEB-INF/lib directory. I need something with no more than 5..10 lines of XML that would include this directory so that it would pick up all jars and add to the class path. Over time I can create an entry for each one, but I just don't have time for that right now, also I would need to determine the version of each and that would be a nightmare. If you can please help with what the question asks. On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 2:38 AM Bernd Eckenfels wrote: > Hello, > > It is really not a good idea to fight maven.

Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
What is the simplest way to specify a directory (and all jars underneath this directory) to be in the maven classpath when it compiles .java classes and builds a .jar? The directory is not in my git repo or any directory under my IDE project files. I have a requirement to create a pom.xml that will reference the current project, and external jars in a /lib/ directory. -- The requirement is to put together a pom.xml for a maven build that depends on jars in: $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps//WEB-INF/lib/ I want to reference that location directly in the maven pom.xml file and not copy the /lib/*.jar files to another directory under my git repo. The .../WEB-INF/lib/ contains .jar files that contains classes that my project imports. The jar that is then built will be put into: $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps//WEB-INF/lib/ to extend the product as per the vendor instructions. -- If anyone has had this exact issue, and has a reference pom.xml that can be pasted here, it would be extremely helpful and get me going quickly. -- Irrespective of the deployment part where I copy the jar to /webapps//WEB-INF/lib/, I would be happy to just get files under /src/com/.../.java/ compiled and put into a jar in the /target/ directory
How to build multiple .jars from a single /src/ tree?
Using Apache Maven, I want to know the simplest way to build mutliple jar files based on the package path from a single src/ directory hierarchy I have src/com/pkg-path-one/.../ and src/com/pkg-path-two/.../ I am required to build one jar from src/pkg-path-one, and another jar from src/com/pkg-path-two/.../ the repo I inherited does not have the typical layout: src/main/java/com and so on, but starts at src/com -- I am assuming two commands would need to be run specifying a target for each jar (maybe - not sure), but having both jars built with a single command would be helpful. I am starting from ground zero with maven, so a full example of a pom.xml would be helpful, if anyone has one around they have used for this in the past. thank you
