Question about snapshots?
Hello, I have a project which has a dependency (jersey) on a -snapshot version. The publisher does *not* publish versioned snapshots, so I can't just override the dependency to use the version snapshot and then roll my own release. What are my options for turning this dependency into a versioned snapshot? I'm thinking about just downloading the source and changing the pom to deploy it to my own nexus repo where it will create a versioned snapshot.. Will requirement me to change repo path in pom and keep my own copy but this isn't a bad thing. However, I was thinking if there was another way via proxy? Can I setup nexus to proxy to the other repo and grab a snapshot and create a versioned snapshot at that time? So I can use a versioned snapshot from my own repo, but it really would have originated from the java repo as an unversioned snapshot? The version information would be added at time of proxy? Is this possible? thanks, -james - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: Question about snapshots?
Justin, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will take your suggestions and go that route. thanks, -jr On Apr 16, 2010, at 10:03 AM, Justin Edelson wrote: There's a few ways to do this, but I would... 1) check out the source at a known revision number. 2) check it into your own SCM. 3) modify the POM to have your own version number 4) mvn -DaltDeploymentRepository=your own repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true deploy The syntax for altDeploymentRepository is id::layout::url (layout is default 99.999% of the time). See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html You could alternatively go through the full release process, but that's unnecessary IMHO unless you are patching the original source and would require making more changes to the original pom. BTW, you mean timestamped snapshots, not versioned snapshots. All artifacts are versioned. I don't think Nexus can do what you're describing, but that's probably a better question for the Nexus list.

Re: properties in settings.xml
Hello,
Yes, it is. I've found that putting the real path in the pom.xml
works fine, but I can't use a variable as the path. The problem I
have with putting it in the pom makes the pom very specific rather
then the settings.xml.
I'm open for other suggestions on how to accomplish the same thing.
Basically a profile which defines the build rules for NSIS installer
should only be run when a path to NSIS is defined in the settings.xml
file for the environment.
thanks,

Activate the nsis profile in your settings.xml and use the same profile id (without an activation element) in your POM. Perfect. I'm going to go this route. -jr
obtain latest snapshot to put on website for auto-update?
Hello, I have some auto-update functionality built into an application, but I am looking to integrate it a bit with maven. I'd like to be able to export the latest snapshot to a location on our website where the updater can download it. I use nexus as my repo manager, but I have that locked down to require a login and I don't want to open this up. I want a simple public download URL. Any suggestions on how I accomplish this? Can I just do a 'wget' against nexus to grab the latest snapshot and copy this to webserver? Is there a special latest snapshot link available in nexus or must I download the process the metadata to determine the latest one? Perhaps I should just setup a simple no artifacts pom file which lists the artifact as a dependency and let that maven grab it for me?

properties in settings.xml
Hello,
I have a project which uses nsis to create an installer, but NSIS
isn't available on all of the platforms which I build the project, and
I'd like it to skip making the NSIS when the makensis isn't available.
I'd like to make the path to NSIS be configurable in the ~/.m2/

So, I have a nsis.path defined in there. However, I am trying to
activate the profile in my pom and neither way works. I've tried to just
activate the profile in the pom based on presence of nsis.path
variable and that doesn't work. And then I've also tried to do:
fileexists${nsis.path}/exists/file
and that doesn't work either.
How can I accomplish this? I could activate it manually with -P, but
I'd rather just have everything in the settings.xml file since I need
to visit that to setup the environment anyways.
thanks!

Re: [Fwd: Threads in a plug-in]
Hello, Actually it is the other way around. Daemon threads will not hold up JVM from exiting, but non-deamon threads will. Marks this thread as either a daemon thread or a user thread. The Java Virtual Machine exits when the only threads running are all daemon threads. The daemon flag will be set if the creating thread is a daemon thread. Maybe force the setDaemon to false on the newly created thread and that may give you desired effect. -jr Brian Fox wrote: Maven just exits when it's done and then the jdk pulls everything down.

Right, so on deploy it gets renamed. But when I try and do an operation which requires this dependency it is attempting to get just -SNAPSHOT and getting 404 from the repo.

My installer artifact is of type pom and depends of my war. Then I use

Hi,
Funny..., this morning, a guy on the maven irc just told me that a nsis
plugin (1) exists for maven 2.
today I use :
assembly plugin to download dependencies
maven exec (2) to run NSIS with some properties during package phase
and build-helper-maven-plugin to attach generated .deb to my artifact
(so that I can donwload the install from archiva (5))
but all these plugins could be replaced by a single call to that nsis
plugin. (see extract from my pom in (4))
I will give it a try next week (well I will try to find some time...)

3 : http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/howto.html

Hello, What I am not clear on is how one would reference artifacts required for this module which creates the installer. (it's dependencies?). For example, my NSIS script will need a path to a common.jar and a client.jar file which are artifacts of other maven modules. These other maven modules will be specified as dependencies in the pom.xml for my nsis module.

question re: CI builds and maven.
Hello, This is likely more of a software engineering related maven question. With the concept of snapshots and versioned artifacts where would a continuous build system come into place? How do others use it? I guess you really have two options, the CI system can produce snapshots or it can produce version'd releases. I would imagine that you would want to have the CI server publish these artifacts back to your local internal repository..

Re: question re: CI builds and maven.
Thanks, I guess it really could work either way. I've normally used to having some type of automated build which eventually gets released as you move it forward (ie: v2.0.1.xyz, the xyz build of 2.0.1 is what ships), but what you are saying is just get things tested/integrated/refined by way of the snapshot artifacts from CI and then perform the release what that is all good. I still need to read-up on the standard way of doing maven releases. Haven't gotten that far yet.. -jr Todd Thiessen wrote: CI I believe would use SNAPSHOTS. CI and SNAPSHOTs are a great match.

Re: question re: CI builds and maven.
Thanks Wes, I understand. I guess for me, I'm really looking to automate the release portion of things. So, when I fix something or commit a change (to a version already released and deployed), I can just wait at the end of this big machine (build server) for a new release to be created with a new build number on it ready to go. I would think you would want to post snapshots from the CI server to the repo so that all other developers would be constantly getting the snapshots of dependent artifacts without someone having to do a deploy. The CI server is doing the deploy each time there is a SCM change. Any good place to read more about this stuff? Like how to organize svn in a way which permits you to fix bugs and create features at the same time..What version do you leave on the trunk, are you working on new versions/features in branches, etc. I'd be interested in hearing about what convention and assumptions maven uses in this regard with the release module. thanks, -jr Wes Wannemacher wrote: I use CI to make sure that unit tests all still pass in other artifacts. For instance, I make changes in artifactA and somewhere down a dependency chain, artifactB is affected... I may not realize that my change breaks artifactB, I may not even know that artifactB exists, but if the CI build shows test failures, someone knows where to start looking (the changes the initiated the build?). The CI does push to our nexus repo, but to me the fact that it can do that is irrelevant. -Wes On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 4:20 PM, James Russo j...@halo3.net wrote: Hello, This is likely more of a software engineering related maven question.

Re: Getting Maven project resources (Eclipse)
Hello, I just started with Maven also, but it appears that when you are running your test case the classpath will be set to both testproject/target/classes and testproject/target/testclasses. Are these resources you need for a test or something and you won't know how many are there? ie: you need to run all of them? Tell us more about what you are trying to accomplish. I think I would maybe have a directory off test and put them in there and access them not as a resource but as a file. Then you can get a directory listing and be done with it. Otherwise you need to specify the name of the resources to fetch somewhere.. thanks, -jr zagu2 wrote: I'm using Eclipse and m2eclipse. Say I have a project like this: testproject - src -- main --- java MainClass.java --- resources 1.txt 2.txt -- test --- java TestClass.java --- resources 3.txt Now, I can have some code in TestClass doing something like: this.getClass().getResource(/n.txt) where n = 1, 2, 3 and it will fetch the appropriate file correctly - I can get to each of the above text files, which is expected. However, I don't seem to find a way to fetch any text resource (i.e. *.txt), tried the following: - Use getResource and alikes - cannot do *.txt since the resource must be fully named (asterisks don't work) - Use getResource to find where compiled TestClass.class is stored and find *.txt from that folder, since Maven separates these into target/classes and target/test-classes, so I can only find 3.txt - Get directly to source (i.e. src/main/resources and src/test/resources, since I know their location), since I don't know how get to the project's root (i.e. get path to the testproject) I know I can do the absolute /a/b/.../z/workspace/testproject/..., but that's very unportable. Another way would be to make a file with a known name which would list all the resources, but that's lame (non-DRY), too.

Subject: Re: inject version into source?
I have done this by setting up a properties file that gets
filtered at
build time. Then, I use that properties file in a Spring
PlaceholderConfigurer to get the value injected where I need it.

Hello,
New maven user here. Really am liking it, just trying to get
project back online and running after switching from ant.. Is there
any standard maven way to inject maven variables (like version)
into
source code, prior to compile? Is this maybe were I should just
leverage my existing any scripts to accomplish the task?
thanks,

Hello, Trying to use buildnumber and tomcat:deploy. In my parent-pom, I've defined buildnumber. In my application-webapp (war), I define the tomcat deploy configuration. However, when tomcat deploy tries to install it, for some reason the buildnumber variable comes across as null. [INFO] Webapp assembled in[120 msecs] [INFO] Building war: /Users/jamesrusso/Documents/workspace/project-maven/project-webapp/target/web-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.3533.war [INFO] [tomcat:deploy] [INFO] [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] [INFO] Cannot find war file: /Users/jamesrusso/Documents/workspace/project-maven/project-webapp/target/web-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.null.war I've tried pushing eveything down into the module pom, but same results? Any reason why the tomcat:deploy isn't picking up on the buildnumber variable? thanks, -jr - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
