I am new to Maven2, and but am an experienced Ant user. I am trying to write a
pom that will do the following:
1. Export source from CVS repository based on a tag
2. Compile and package the exported source.
I have 2 problems.
1. When I export the source from CVS it creates a duplicate folder structure.
See below...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
<!-- <configuration>
<skipCheckoutIfExists>true</skipCheckoutIfExists>
</configuration>
-->
<executions>
<execution>
<id>fetch-feature</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>export</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<connectionType>developerConnection</connectionType>
<exportDirectory>target\exported-sources</exportDirectory>
<scmVersion>${exportTag}</scmVersion>
<scmVersionType>tag</scmVersionType>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The exported source ends up in target\exported-sources\target\exported-sources.
I would expect that it would end up in target/exported-sources.
The working directory indicated at this time is: Working directory:
C:\Projects\Maven\cimp-app\target\exported-sources (which is now empty except
for a new target directory.
2. What I really want to happen at this point is for the remainder of the
build to operate on the exported sources, but that is not happening. I end up
having to run my mvn package command separately on the pom in the
target\exported-sources\target\exported-sources. With ant, I did not have this
issue, and I think I am stuck in some wrong-thinking about how to use maven2.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
