Hi Craig!
Here is a short example which copies dependencies to a certain path. You
need to modify it for your purpose.
It works, as soon as the dependency is located in the local repository.
<j:forEach var="a" items="${pom.getArtifacts()}">
<ant:copy file='${a.getPath()}'
todir='${maven.dist.bin.assembly.dir}/lib' />
</j:forEach>
Best regards from (today grey) Black Forrest,
Mattin

Subject: How to reference a dependency by filename?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have two projects (A and B) that use Hibernate, so they contain
*.hbm.xml files for their persisted classes. Up to now, they've been
mutually exclusive, but I'm trying to add a dependency on a class in A
to a class in B. (The class in B is to have a collection of the class
in A.)
Adding a dependency in project.xml is straightforward. However, we also
generate our database schema using Hibernate's schema export tool, and
it needs to know the path to the *.hbm.xml *files*. I haven't seen any
way to tell it to look in the classpath.
So, I figure I can unjar the *.hbm.xml files from the jarfile for A
into an appropriate place in B's maven.build.dir and reference them
from there. Now, the stumbling block is telling the unjar task where to
find A's jarfile in the local repository.
maven.repo.local gives me the path to the local repository. I don't
mind hardcoding the groupId and artifactId, but I don't want to
hardcode the version.
Is there some way to do something in maven.xml akin to "find the
dependency with groupId == 'mycompany' and artifactId == 'A', and
return version"? Alternatively, can someone suggest a better way to
accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish?
