I'm finally switching form ant to maven - maven is new to me, so please bear
with me if the question below sounds idiotic ;-)
I need to build an off-line maven repository for the cxf modules. As a
first step, I used the assembly task to build a repository packaged as a
jar.
Most of the cxf the poms in the generated archive (and in .m2/) contain a
parent reference like:
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<relativePath>../../../parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
If you're actually working with the cxf sources, you'll find parent/pom.xml.
But that might not always be the case - you might want to use a different
directory structure.
Interestingly, the repository structure for cxf also contains the module
"cxf-parent", whose cxf-parent-2.1.pom is identical to the parent/pom.xml
found in the source distribution.
Can anyone shed some insight as to why cxf modules contain that parent
dependency? Could I instead just declare a dependency on cxf-parent (and
thus not having to rely on the relative path that might not exist)?
Cheers,
