Hello all,
I'm a complete beginner to Maven but I have a project that requires it I
think, but I have a few questions (as I cannot figure it out from the
website):
I have a quite complex codebase where I have a series of projects (in
Eclipse), each of which represents a seperate OSGi service with seperate
dependancies. Some of the projects are dependant on each other. Some are
dependant on external OSGi libraries.
I wish to know how I can configure Maven to make my life easier and to take
this config management nightmare away.
Questions (question 1 is the most importand if all the questions are too
daunting):
1) How many .pom files do I need and at what level should they be at, can
someone copy and paste my directory structure and detail where the .pom
files should be?
2) How do I configure Eclipse to build using Maven? Can I still
incrementally compile with Eclipse?
3) Is Maven OK to use with OSGi projects?
4) I need to perform some custom steps in the building on my OSGi jars, do I
need to write my own plugin?
5) The jars that I am using are my own proprietary jars, do I need to setup
a local repository somewhere, if so, how?
6) If I was to solve the same problem with Ant, would it be a better fit? If
so, how?
My current folder structure:
/workspacefolder
/osgiService1
/bin
/dist
/lib
lib1_1.0.0.jar
lib2_1.0.0.jar
/src
/osgiService2
/bin
/dist
/lib
lib2_1.0.0.jar
lib3_1.0.0.jar
/src
/osgiService3
/bin
/dist
/lib
lib3_1.0.1.jar
lib4_1.0.0.jar
/src
/osgiService4
/bin
/dist
/lib
lib4_1.0.0.jar
lib5_1.0.0.jar
/src
Thanks so much,
Chris
