Subject: Re: running project
Maven (like ant and make) depends on a build descriptor - project.xml -
that it expects to find in the base directory of your project. e.g. if
you have a file named:
~/myproject/src/com/foo/Example.java
... then its very likely the directory '~/myproject/' is where you want
to place your project.xml. If you want to compile the current project
from anywhere at or below this directory, you can just do:
maven -f project.xml java:compile
the '-f' tells maven to look for the first available 'project.xml' in
this dir or any of its parents, and use that as the project.xml for the
build.
The best way to see how this works isn't to start with an existing
project, but to get maven to generate a project for you. In an empty
directory, type:
maven -Dpackage=com.example.foo genapp
maven will generate a project.xml for you, and an example directory
structure, including examples of how to use unit tests with maven. Now type:
maven test:test
This will compile the sample code and its tests, and run the tests.
As for the site:deploy problem: by default maven will try to 'deploy' to
a secure server using scp, which requires a username and password. This
is used for deploying to remote live sites. Look at
<http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/site/properties.html>
especially at the "maven.site.deploy.method" property which should help
you do what you're after. You set this in a properties file called
project.properties - again in the project root.
You don't need to use the maven folder structure, but it helps. You can
configure maven to look elsewhere (in a *single* source folder, though),
see the manual:
<http://maven.apache.org/reference/project-descriptor.html#build>
(sourceDirectory is the thing you're looking for - its in your
project.xml). You can set up multiple source dirs for code generation
and the like, but you'd be better coming back and asking about that once
you have simple projects working.
Hope this helps

I've modified an example file but now how do I execute it, what is the call statement
I should use?
