So, as far as Maven is concerned, Red5 is scope "provided".
You want it to reference it for compiling but should not put its classes
in the jar or war since you are going to sneak it into the package
without Maven noticing.
Pretty standard problem. We make a lot of aggregation jars that are used
in the same way.
http://blog.artifact-software.com/tech/?p=121 describes how we handle a
similar need to produce skinny wars that use libraries in Tomcar/shared
or tomcat/lib to avoid copies of the same code in multiple jars. Our LMS
project has over 80 Maven projects that produce a variety of jars and
wars. Many of these share the use of large libraries such as CXF, Spring
and Apache commons that can be shared through Tomcat's classloader
rather than duplicated in each war.
There are some other notes about Maven on our blog that you might find
interesting.
I would prefer an installer to get the shared libraries into tomcat/lib
but that is another issue.

Here is the structure:
"Openmeetings Util" project has compile time dependency "Red5 server"
Almost all other projects are dependent on "Openmeetings Util" and "Red5
server" (compile time)
But When I'm creating war file in "Openmeetings Web" project I need to
remove "Red5 server" and all it dependencies from the WEB-INF/lib folder
since all these jar files will be placed into tomcat/lib folder.

Hello Ron,
I'll take a look at izPack as an alternative to assembly plugin (which
seems to be able to create artifact similar to the current being created
by
ant)
Currently I'm trying to build all jars/war/swf files need to be packed
(by
assembly plugin or izPack)
Here is the stripped output of my current maven build:
http://pastebin.com/XvbA9yGM
As you can see, after normal build all projects are being forked:
1. [INFO]

2. [INFO] Forking Openmeetings Util 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT
3. [INFO]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
4.
etc.
if I'm building single project using:
mvn clean install -pl openmeetings-web -am
I see no forking
Will appreciate any help on this

Can you describe the "forking" Maven problem in more detail.
What does it do that you don't want and what does it not do that you
need.
Is there anything about your build that is different from the thousands
of projects that use Maven to build Tomcat applications?
Have you looked at using Maven to build an installer with izPack.
This will let you use Maven to build the components and use the maven
izPack plug-in to build a user-friendly deployment tool that lets a
system
admin install all of your components in the "right" places with the
required permissions, initialization, etc. that may be required.

Thanks Russ!
I was hoping there is a way to avoid specifying parent version in every
sub-project.
But it seems to be "Maven way" :)
Maybe you know how to manage project forking? My projects are being
build
several times and the result of building parent project is
unpredictable
for whatever reason :(

HI Maxim,
Here is how I do child projects:

<groupId>com.meterware.totalizer</groupId>
<artifactId>totalizer</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<relativePath>..</relativePath>
</parent>
<artifactId>server</artifactId>
Note that I am specifying the parent project, but neither the group
nor
the version for the child project - just the artifactId. The others
are
automatically inherited.

Hello All,
sorry for the keeping silence too long :)
finally I was able to start migration and more questions are come up:
:)
1) Is there any way to use parent project version in child projects?
I
currently use variable for this [1] but it results too many warnings
2) I have lots of "Forking PROJECT VERSION" and same tasks are
performed
again and again :( is there any way to disable forking?
3) somehow task in phase "process-test-resources" is executed even if
"-DskipTests=true" is specified:
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DskipTests=true
Or in case of eclipse:eclipse it is expected behavior?
4) While running "mvn site" I get lots of

Well, though I agree Maven isn't designed to be an end-user tool,
using it
to build the end-user distribution is actually totally supported.
IMO, if what you're trying to do is building your product from some
sources
and binaries, then Maven can obviously do it.
If what you need for production is an installer, then creating an
installer
using izpack is indeed a good idea, but you would just build that
installer
during your Maven build (http://izpack.codehaus.org/
izpack-maven-plugin/e.g.).
You seem to actually have two kind of phases:
* the first one, typically compile and package your sources using
binaries
coming from a repo manager (be it a corporately managed one, or
directly
from Central)
* the second one, creating the end-user distribution, is typically
done
with Maven using maven-assembly-plugin.
Don't hesitate to ask questions, because I don't think we've gone
so
far
until now to understand your building steps.

Thanks Ron,
I'll take a look at it, but I'm afraid distribute application in
"partially
compiled state" is not an option.
Currently it works out of the box and this is the requirement.
Will try to study maven and postpone the migration for now

You might find that your life will be a lot easier with IzPack as
the
tool
to create your installer.
It will allow you to package up your maven artifacts with other
resources
into different OS-specific installers that can be distributed
easily.
It supports install time execution of your procedures so that you
can
start RED-5 or execute the flex processes required to build and
install
the
Flash assets.

Hello Baptiste,
Thanks for your quick reply!
Red5-server is "custom tomcat" (zip/tgz with scripts, libraries,
configs
etc.).
We need to pack it in our distribution, not sure if it can be
done
"Maven
way" :(
2) tgz contains flex based Flash compiler with all necessary
libraries
and
binaries necessary to build Flash part of our application.

IIUC, your project openmeetings depends on red5 libraries.
About your questions:
1) Not actually a Maven issue, but you seem to think the way to
go
it
to
build that dependency. As the project is ASLv2, you would far
better
make
sure/ask it be uploaded to Maven Central. Then just just the
<dependency>
in a normal way/
Maven is actually very straightforward if you follow the Maven
Way
(yeah,
sounds like a sect somehow, you may think ;-)).
2) Once again, what does contain that tgz? If it contains jars
and
so
on,
then forget about downloading and decompressing it during your
buil.
Or
you're gonna a world of despair. Just upload those libs under
some
sensible
coordinates in a corporate (or better, in Maven Central if the
project
is
OSS), and add the dependency.
Please ask more questions/give more precisions if you want more
precise
help.

Hello All,
I'm new to maven and not very familiar with all its plugins.
I need to move project [1] from ant+ivy to maven
The problems are:
1) this project is build on top of [2] maven project (we need
the
exact
structure and all libraries from this project) *[first
problem: i
don't
know how to do it]*
I did it using ant as follows:
a) using SVN download the project sources
b) build it using maven
c) unpack artifact and use it's structure in my build
Currently this project was moved to git and I was hoping it
will
be
possible to using maven scm:git for this, not sure how :(
2) this project need to download tgz file with required
framework,
extract
it somewhere and use extracted file to perform the build
*[second
problem:
is this possible?]*
Any help is highly appreciated
