How to package final complex multi language distribution with Maven?
Hi all, we are trying to understand if we can take advantage of maven to totally replace our mega ANT script which produces the release of our multi language and multi module project. Our project is a mix of Java and C++ code and it is a very complex system composed by sub systems running on different machines. Our final release(which is done for example each six months), is a directory containing other directory of jar, dll, sql script, installer of other external applications and other kind of resources. Some of those directory will be put to a machine, some other to another machine etc... At this time, all the necessary steps to create that release are accomplished through an ANT script very very big, it does many many different things in one shot, that is, I execute the setup.xml, and after some time I obtain my maxy installable folder which I pass to the sysadmin who take care to copy each folder in the right place. Finally, the release of my project is not only deploy a jar containing one hundred sub-modules jars, but it is a big assembly of many projects (some Java and some C++ and in early future .NET). I took a look at the assembly plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/) but I need a tool not bound to a project (bound to a single pom.xml) like assembly plugin. In your experience, is it possibile replace that ANT script with maven? In your projects, how do you perform the creation of the installable items? Thanks, I hope to have benn quite understandable!

Public remote repository
Hi all, a very simple question, in many tutorial I read that the default public remote repository is http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/ But if I run in my pom, mvn help:effective-pom I see in the repository tag this url: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ I believe that those ulr, those repository are a bit different, but which sould be the default public remote repository?

RE: NoClassDeFoundError running unit test
The class in project A is in src/java (I'm not using the default maven tree, but I have override those properties in my pom don't worry) I tried with either test scope either compile scope in the dependency from project B to project A. The default scope is compile, is that true? I've also tried mvn install but the error remains and it is practically the same as mvn test, that is project B cannot see a class of project A. Thanks.

Where is this class in Project A? Is it in src/main/java or src/test/java? If it's in src/test/java you'll have to create a test jar: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html What is the scope of the dependency from Project B to Project A? Have you tried mvn install on Project A first? With maven, code in src/test can only see the code in src/main, but not the other way around. With eclipse your code in src/main/java can see src/test/java. HTH Jim On 9/11/07, GAMBELLI Raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm using Maven 2.0.7 I have two project, let's call them A and B.

RE: NoClassDeFoundError running unit test
My dependent class is a test class, that is, in my unit test I do a new of a class located in project A, it is a class which contains only static methods, and so, my unit tests in project B want to use those static methods to test the classes in project B. I believe is quite normal what I'm doing... In eclipse, I've compiled the pom of both the project by hand, then I've also isntalled the m2plugin per eclipse, but I wrote the dependencies without using other tools. However I haven't ever used mvn eclipse:eclipse Any other hints? However my projects are only very simple projects created only with the aim of learning and using MAVEN because in my company we would like to employ maven. But as you can see I immediately found a big block in my evaluetion. Thanks to all, any other hints?

In eclipse, are you importing project A or you have used 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' to generate your dependencies? Eclipse does not distinguish between test classpath and compile classpath so that could be part of the issue... -Original Message- From: GAMBELLI Raffaele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 7:26 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: NoClassDeFoundError running unit test I'm using Maven 2.0.7 I have two project, let's call them A and B.
