Hello,
Longtime listener, first time caller. Seriously, we're getting ready to split our project out into multiple projects. Here's how we'd like to use and build and I believe Maven can support this but I'm not familiar enough to answer authoritatively. 1. Build a root project (say a webapp or other application) will build dependent libraries if necessary. That is, if WebApp depends upon the A and B project libraries, A and B will be built (if necessary) and A's and B's dependencies will also be rebuilt (again if necessary) 2. These dependencies are expressed to Eclipse so that Eclipse will rebuild dependent projects if necessary without having to invoke special stuff (e.g. it's enough that I have the Build Automatically flag checked in Eclipse, I don't have to drop down and do special ANT builds). 3. We also use MyEclipseIDE to do our WebApps. Makes things nice and easy that way. Since it allows one to debug running application servers and hot code replace as you find problems or with to make adjustments, I can't afford to lose that feature. 4. We'd also like to Eclipse plugins from our libraries. I don't think Maven rules this out but I don't see any obvious integration points for working with plugins/features/RCP builds and Maven. Can anyone point me to a canonical set of projects that highlights these techniques as fully as possible? Thanks, greg
