A few questions about creating archetypes

Hi, I have read the Guide to creating archetypes but I am not sure about a few things: I assume that we create the archetype as a maven-plugin. Then it needs a pom. Do I include the archetype ... /archetype in the archetype plugin's pom.xml? Do I also need to define

[m2] Copying dependencies to target/lib as individual files?

Hi, I need to obtain the individual .jar files from the dependency list and place each of them into a folder target/lib (for further processing). Combining all of the dependencies in one .zip or .jar file does not help. Can I do this with the assembly plugin, e.g. through some special

[m2] How can I register an archiver?

The assembly mechanism has a small problem: It can not be used to just copy plain files plus dependencies into some target directory structure (without compressing/zipping/packing or changing the copied files in any way). In my case, I need this because I am using an unsupported packaging

Guide to creating archetypes

Hi, Two weeks ago I wrote a significantly expanded Guide to Creating Archetypes. It was immediately posted to CVS, but it is still not available on the website. Is there some reason why the Maven2 site is not updated regularly (last update was 10/21). Shouldn't it be very easy using Maven2?

Line-breaks in project description and the jar plugin

Maven2 Website rolled back?

Jason, Thank you for setting up the mavenusers space on confluence. While this solution is certainly better for integrating the documentation with Maven, it has the disadvantage that it significantly raises the bar for anyone who wants to contribute. For example, unregistered users can't

javadoc plugin: Problem with package-info.java

Re: [m2] production ready? any experience?

In my opinion, Maven2 is great and has clear immediate benefits - even if it can not do everything that may be needed for everyone. However, there are many small problems. I have found that whatever I start in Maven that is not 100% standard, I run into problems that cost me hours. Basic
