hi,
i am new to maven and will be using it for a migration project that
i will be working with. i come from a solid Ant background so i am
still coming to gripes with some of the paradigm shift. excellent work
but since the documentation is rather sparse at the moment i will be
scouring the archives and this list for more information. :D
i am currently researching about possible scenarios that we will
encounter on the migration and one such scenario is creating a
self-contained environment that will facilitate the setup of the
development environment. in this scenario, and even if it is
considered a bad idea, the maven plugins needed by the project will be
included and maintained in the version control system. with this i
need to specify that the "included repository" is checked when maven
is invoked.
the problem i have is that either i am not doing this properly or
the <url/> element in the <mirror/> and <repository/> elements do not
support local file URLs (but there is no indication on the
documentation that this is true). i have tried adding this on the
"settings.xml" file:
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>localmirror</id>
<name>Local mirror for development </name>
<!--url>C:/Temp/workdir/repository</url-->
<url>file:///C:/Temp/workdir/repository</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
as well as this in the "pom.xml" file:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>ENV-repo</id>
<name>Local ENV repository</name>
<url>file:///C:/Temp/workdir/repository</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
buth both to no avail. the necessary plug-ins are not being
retrieved from the "included repository" when the plugins fail to be
resolved on the local repository.
the simplest solution would be to just set the <localRepository/>
element to the "included repository" but how is the <url/> element
really used by maven?
thanks.
ciao!
