Hi all,
I am new to Maven. I am trying to do build using maven in my RAD workspace. I have one lib project and 1 portlet project (jsr 168) . The lib project built the first time i ran maven buildAll and genereates a jar file. I deleted the jar file and tried to build the lib project again, but this time it says the following:

(PGMLib is my lib project)

Attempting to download PGMLib-2.0.jar.
WARNING: Failed to download PGMLib-2.0.jar.

Here is my Maven.xml:

${lib_projects}

“${lib_projects}”

${lib_projects}

In lib Projetcts

${portlet_projects}

In portlet Projetcts ${portlet_projects}

–>

deploy

Deploying portlet ${pom.id}

Starting portlet app

Stop Server

Copy libraries

Start Server

Copy documentation

The above sample I got it from Managing websphere applications and maven article. I modified the project names thats all.

the link to the artice taht has actual the maven.xml: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0503_boog/0503_boog.html?ca=dnp-413#N1021F

I really appreciate any replies.

thanks

I think those that spend so much time on build systems are loosers. A build system is something that you put in place once and shouldnt tinker around with. Moth of these things like ant/maven are fluff for use instead of a shell script or a python or perl script. Yes, may be they make things a bit easy, but falks, really look at what you need to do… compile some files, copy it to a distribtion directory, replace some text, etc… why this crap like maven and ant shit? Just get on with what is more important, which is your product.

Maven is all about designing project structure. I’ve posted some comments at http://jroller.com/page/eu/20050221#one_maven_s_feature_that

Mr Pirsch,

What amaze me, is that you say that it’s a cool thing that a ’smart guy’ can write a maven plugin if you have a special need…well in case you did not realize…you can do it with Ant too !

I find amazing that many people actually need to write their own maven plugin, while they did not feel the need to write their own with Ant… is that a limitation ?

btw, if you do some serious job, don’t rely on external repo. Use your own where you have sources, binaries and docs available for all your third party as well as your build tool, you probably wrote some maven plugin that no one will be able to build after v 1.0.4 ;)

By the way, Maven (or should I say jexl/jelly) treats hyphens in property names as an expression. See http://www.jroller.com/comments/ras_shadow/Weblog/maven_properties_and_anomalies_replace

Is this documented somewhere. I’m going to start documenting all this as I keep working on Maven. Maybe even write some articles if time permits :)
