Take some time and read through the user's guide (http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html) It will help give you a conceptual understanding of how things work (the section on "Properties Processing" answers your questions about setting properties). There is also a section in the user's guide on "Starting a New Project".
Once you understand the concepts it is easier to "fill in the blanks" and use maven in your own project. - Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Vikas Phonsa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 4:48 PM > To: 'Maven Users List' > Subject: RE: How to start projects with Maven > > Hi Paul, > > Your email shows direction.
