Hello, Christian!
I'm not really good at maven, so your question is really useful for me.
I'll tell you the way me and my fellows did it. I'd like to know
wheather it's right or wrong.
I did all the copy operations manually. Here's an example:
//----------------sample----------------
<j:set var="jar.path"
value="${maven.repo.local}/${reactorProject.artifactDirectory}/jars/${reactorProject.artifactId}-${reactorProject.currentVersion}.jar"/>
<copy file="${jar.path}" todir="${tomcat.dir}/common/lib"/>
//----------------sample end----------------
(I think, you can do it in one line. It's just a sample from my maven.xml)
Here's how dependencies are being copied:
//----------------sample----------------
<j:forEach var="dep" items="${pom.dependencies}">
<copy file="${pom.getDependencyPath(dep.getId())}"
todir="${tomcat.dir}/common/lib"/>
</j:forEach>
//----------------sample end----------------
The way to do it all is to define <postGoal name="jar:install"> or
something like that.
Hope this helps a little, but I'd like to hear the "official" answer too ;)
Sincerely
Igor
P.S.: I think that maven is really what you need... :)

Hello
thanks for Maven. :-) I have always waited for something like this.
As newbie, I have already installed a lokal repository and I am able to
execute Maven from the comandline, e.g. andromeda examples work fine. I
can build jars and execute them with "java -jar .....". I am mainly
working alone, so in fact there is no need for me at the moment to do
anything remotely. I know how to insert dependencies into project.xml. I
have almost no experience with team-development. I used to work with cvs
one day. So far.

I have a ant-based project I am going to convert to Maven. I suffer
heavy problems and I am getting a bit frustrated, as I don't know what
is covered by the existing plugins, goals, properties and what actions
have to be injected as ant-tasks manually into the goals.
My old ant-script does the following via several tasks sequentially:
Part I: Server
a.) It compiles a selfmade (RMI-)applicationserver
b.) It compiles stubs for the applicationserver.
c.) It jars the Applicationserver into a buildServer directory
d.) Start-scipts for (Windows/Linux) are copied to the buildServer
directory.
Part II: Swing Client
a.) Stubs and DataTransferObject.classes (of the AppServer) are copied
to a directory branch of the client-build-directory.
b.) The Client is compiled into another branch of the
client-build-directory.
c.) The client-build-directory is jared into client-deploy-directory
d.) All external libraries are copied to "client-deploy-directory/lib"
e.) Start-scripts (Windows/Linux) are copied to the
client-deploy-directory
After all this I can start the appServer and the client via commandline.
The server does not have any dependencies except for junit but junit is
not required during running.

Problems:
Am I right, that I have to do all copy-actions for the Startscripts and
the rmi-stub generation manually, i.e. do I have to create
jelly-ant-scripts to be injected somewhere, as described in the
maven-docoumentation? Is there an easier possibility to copy files to
the right place in the target folders, i.e. just adding a copy-source
and copy-destination property?
If I run "maven dist -o" on the root of the client directory the goal
says "build successful". Afterwards, my target directory is full of
documentation but I miss my dependency-jar-files which are required to
run the client. First, I would like to switch off the
documentation-generation temporily. It's very nice but confuses me at
the moment. Second, my depedendencies (i.e. the jar-file of the
swing-framework I use) is not copied to anywhere. --- How can I copy the
required dependency-jar-Files from the local repository to the target
directory of the client? The distribution-plugin properties do not offer
any possibilities to "include" dependencies. Shoud I write an
Jelly-Ant-copy-script to copy the jar-files from the local repository to
the target directory? --- "maven dist-o" triggers "site:generate". Is
there an easy way to tempoarily switch it off, i.e. a property setting.?
At the moment I am very insecure, whether I use maven the right way. Do
you have the impression I missunderstood the purpose of Maven? Any
recommendation how you would proced on my project are appreciated.
Thanks for your response in advance.
Christian
