Stephen, Thanks VERY much for that clarification.. it helped greatly!! I found the Maven HowTo somewhat confusing.. so here's my summary of what I did to get it to work. I mention a few problems I'm having... most notably that I can't get it to work unless I create a lib directory in the project root with Torque and all its deps. (I'm sure I'm doing something wrong) One day when I figure out how to commit patches (or updates or whatever the proper term is) I'd be happy to update the doc on the site, after I work out the kinks.
Any comments, corrections etc. are more than welcome. _________________________________________________________________________ I am using this command to test the installation: maven torque:om I made the changes as stated on: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/torque/maven-howto.html NOTE THESE CHANGES: =============================================================================== BUILD.XML SECTION =============================================================================== This section talks about making changes to the "build.xml" file. These changes should instead be made to the "maven.xml" file. (As pointed out by Stephen Haberman) Create a maven.xml file if there is not already one in your project. The project open tag in the example is as follows: <project name="yourproject" default="maven:war" basedir="."> however, maven will complain about the "name" and "basedir" attributes. So instead you must use a project open tag like this: <project default="maven:war" > if you are copying straight from the HowTo.. note that there is no closing project tag. =============================================================================== PROJECT.PROPERTIES =============================================================================== just a warning to be very careful with these settings. I had copied from a previous file I was using (with a few crucial differences) and it would NOT work at all. If something goes wrong, double-check the settings in this section. Also, make sure you remove any build.properties files to avoid confusion. =============================================================================== LIB DIRECTORY =============================================================================== I had to put an ANT style lib directory in the project root with the torque jar and all of its dependencies. I thought Maven's project.xml was supposed to take care of this... but I could be doing something wrong. In the project.properties example, there is this line: torque.lib.dir = ${lib.repo} however, when I run it the ${lib.repo} doesn't resolve to a value.. it shows this error: [ERROR] C:\test\projects\maven-torque-test\${lib.repo} not found. =============================================================================== PROJECT.XML =============================================================================== I copied all the dependencies to project.xml as well, but I imagine that's irrelevant as it is currently using the lib directory. Although, it will be necessary once I figure out what I'm doing wrong and can delete the lib directory. end. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:turbine-torque-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:turbine-torque-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
