[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-438?page=comments#action_78892 ] Natalie Burdick commented on MNG-438: -------------------------------------
just a follow-on to this (randomly) -- but Maestro does include an GUI-based installer for Maven 2.0 (created in May 2006) > conf for dummies (install wizard) > --------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-438 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-438 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-3 > Environment: i am using linux, but same applies to wintendo > Reporter: Bill Parducci > Assigned To: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0-alpha-3 > > > the environment here requires a proxy be setup. maven requires web access to > grab the goodies. myself and one other user started an m2 install from linux > and wintendo. both of us--starting from the install guide--ran into the same > problem: needing to modify the m2 configuration very early on in the install > process. the method that we both chose was to look in all the 'usual places' > for the conf file (assuming it would be there with all the default values) > whereby we could look for the proxy config and make the changes. yes, we > could find the properties reference and cut & paste that info over, but this > was not intuitive to either of us (no, i don't read instructions on building > kids' toys either ;o). > anyway... this lead to a discussion with jason where i believe i understood > that future versions of m2 will allow for a 'global' conf file (overriding > built-in defaults) and a 'user' conf file (overriding global conf file). to > do this, however, will require some sort of install wizard (on win) and/or > packace (rpm?) in linux so that the location of (at least) the user conf is > known. seems like the global conf could reside in a conf dir where m2 is > installed (next to the bin dir), but if there is a wizard to handle this it > can be anywhere. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
