Re: Why Maven is Hard?
Isn't this sort of a catch-22? People are saying I don't get maven, it's too complex. Now it's time for them to give something back and document it? How do you propose they do that? Start at the source and pore through it to explain it? Saying that is sort of a cop-out, IMO. I think that the problem is that we have maven in 5 minutes and then the rest of the docs assume that people are experts with it - the 2 books mentioned earlier are useful, but I think people want something more approachable and contextual. One other thing is the navigation - I find it very difficult to get around the maven site in any meaningful way. There are many inter-dependent concepts and components, and each area's documentation assumes that the reader understands the other areas. For a beginner, that is rarely if ever the case. I'm not trying to add the rants, just provide some constructive criticism.

Re: Runtime dependencies in Eclipse classpath
Eclipse is not Maven, and Maven is not Eclipse - you are kind of comparing apples to orangutans. Eclipse makes no differentiation between compile time and run time, but Maven is different - it's a build tool, not an IDE. As I understand it, compile time means what I need to compile this thing, but runtime means what I need to run the beast. An example would be JDBC drivers. I don't need the Oracle JDBC driver jar to compile my application (unless I did something really deeply profoundly wrong) but I do need it to *run* my application. Larry On 5/16/07, lightbulb432 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So runtime seems very similar to the compile scope type. Could somebody please explain the difference?

Re: Using the assembly plugin to build a stand-alone application
Hmm, no, not really. I have dependencies on oracle (ojdbc), spring, mail, activation, commons-net, log4j, ibatis-common, and ibatis-sqlmap in my project. I want to have my jar, and all of the jars required to run it somewhere in the target directory. Larry On 11/20/06, pjungwir [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Larry, I believe the descriptorId is required. You must also reference assembly.xml from your POM by giving the assembly plugin a configuration like this: configuration descriptorassembly.xml/descriptor /configuration But the 4 files result is correct, I think. What's in them? The jar should contain only your current project's classes. That is not the result of the assembly plugin, but of the jar plugin (probably running automatically on account of jar packaging). The other three files are coming from the assembly plugin. What's in them? You should see your jar plus your dependency jars. That's what you wanted, right?
