I am SO DONE with mucking around in dependencies that I am about to scream!
Until recently, I thought "real developers" were in control of jars and the
classpath, but as another year passes me by, I'm starting to rethink this
whole deal. I installed the Maven 2 plug-in for Eclipse this morning and
should begin by telling you that beyond appreciating the idea of Maven, I
don't understand it intimately well! Create new Maven Project is prompting
me for bits and pieces I don't fully understand. Moreover, I'm only
guessing that http://mvnrepository.com is the place I should specify to have
my dependencies resolved in building a Struts-2/Tiles-2/Spring-2 web
project. I have been reading about the archetypes and this must be a fancy
name for "what kind of sandwich do you want." Can someone please tell me
how to decode these prompts so I can get about the business of writing code?
I realize some of the inputs are my web-app name, but several others must be
version and contents values.
P.S. Cloning my last know Struts 2 sandwich and making the necessary build
path tweaks for a bump to 2.1.6 no longer passes the tummy test.
You shouldn't need to define a repository under normal circumstances; at
least I haven't had to. AFAICT 2.1.6 has been seeded, although I'd have
to purge my local repo to be sure to avoid getting a local install.
I'm about to check in a new struts2-blank archetype and update the wiki
(probably this afternoon) but if you use the normal Maven project
structure and use reasonable version numbers in your dependencies as
someone else pointed out it'll work fine without generating an archetype.
