I recommend reading some of the books http://maven.apache.org/articles.html If you are doing anything besides just building a plain old jar file, then you need to up skill a bit to make sure you do things right. There is too much complexity in your build to read a of couple pages and hack away and get a correctly working build. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
