Hi George,
I guess, if u r being assigned to a maven project,,u must be having some
idea abt Ant build tool.....so here i m sharing something with reference to
ant script.
Piloting from Ant to Maven
1. A file build.properties is stored in the users home directory. This file
contains the location of the proxy host and its port number plus the
location of the local as well as remote repository. The remote repository
can be set to the closest ibiblio mirror. The repository contains the
different dependencies to be used by any project.
2.To pilot the build.xml file in Ant, we create the following three files in
maven under the project's base directory.
project.xml
plugin.jelly
plugin.properties
3. The project.xml file comprises of three main sections,
The project management section includes information such as the
project's organization, the developers list, source code location, and the
bug tracking-system URL. The project dependency section includes information
about a project's dependencies. Currently Maven implementation supports only
JAR file dependency.The project build and reports section contains project
build information such as a source code directory, a unit test-case
directory, and the reports to generate in the build.
4. The plugin.jelly file is written in Jelly script and contains the
definition of the different goals. Goals in Maven are replacement of the
targets defined in a Ant build file. A plugin can have its own resources and
dependencies.
5. The plugin.properties is an optional file, that defines the different
property's values specific to a plugin. These values can be accessed from
inside any goal.
when u r done with writing all these files,
go to the maven's install dir on command prompt and run maven plugin:install
then run as maven goal_name
ur goal will be achieved.
Hope it helps u
bbye
