Instead of jumping full bore into Maven and Continuum with an existing (perhaps complicated) project, resulting in tons of questions and emails to this list etc, I'd suggest that you simply:
1. download and install Maven2 and Continuum 2. download the Better Builds With Maven and Maven: The Definitive Guide free PDF books 3. read both of the PDF books, following all the examples 4. create your own small sample project or projects (including checking into SCM and using Continuum to build etc) to better understand how all of this works, and how you can apply these tools in your situation Then *maybe* you can start talking about trying to implement these tools for your existing builds. Many of your questions are already answered in the various documentation provided by the Maven team and Mergere, Sonatype, etc. Wayne On 5/23/07, Ashwin E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If I undestood your answer correctly.Continuum checks out sources from the cvs location provided in the <scm> section of the maven project's pom.xml..just a side question,why do i need to specifiy the <scm> section,can't continnum decipher where to check out the files from the location of pom.xml, does it need to know where to checkout the sources as well. i mean isnt the repeating the location again... i've a second doubt.my project already has the files in cvs,now how do integrate so that I can use Maven from now on? Also, since Maven project resides on CVS and the files are currently either java or jsp files..is it possible to check them out...and then do the necessary tasks of compiling,packaging after the checkout has happened also where do the checked out files go to?and how do i deploy on it on my application server? finally,yeah my team is working on different branches...here whenever team submits new patches, they specify the branch and then the tag of the patches..tags can be anyhting the team wants..how do i allow Continnum to extract the files from cvs depending on the tags -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Basic-Questions-tf3803512s177.html#a10763485 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
