The representation is great, it will be perfect with the proposed enhancements.
My in first experience with maven projects, I had to create all the folder structure, with some errors. Then I discoved the genapp plugin. The plugin provides a sample POMS that provides a really great start. I think the plugin should be introduced in the "getting started" section to allow user not to start from scratch. This would remove lot of questions like resouces in jars, jars creation, JUnits, what to include in the file, and malformed project files as you start with a working pom. Then the section you're working one would become an advance topic, as people getting there would already have something working for most of the cases, instead of getting there to create new pom sections. > -----Original Message----- > From: Erik Husby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 10:31 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: More visual project descriptor documentation > > > Definitely a step in the right direction.
