Hi, I have several maven-based projects that I'd like to create ports for, but our build process makes that challenging.
Maven (for those who don't know) likes to download additional files as it compiles which is a non-starter for our build process. A solution that I have found to work around this is to run maven once, let it cache the files locally, turn them into a tarball which I then place in my "files" directory and make the real port run maven in offline mode from the cached files in the tarball. This process works, but it sure seems awkward. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make this better? Or even better, perhaps I'm missing an understanding of part of the build infrastructure that I could get educated on. :-) Thanks, Bryan
