The migration from Maven to Gradle isn’t as easy as from Ant to Maven (at the least at the moment). You can easily reuse Ant scripts and make them first class citizens in your Gradle build. There’s a task on the Gradle roadmap for deep import of Maven builds as well. So far I migrated … Read more
You need to add an ivysettings.xml file with the following repositories listed (resolvers in ivy speak) <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver=”chain”/> <resolvers> <chain name=”chain”> <ibiblio name=”central” m2compatible=”true”/> <ibiblio name=”example” m2compatible=”true” root=”http://example.com/m2/”/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> In my opinion it makes more sense to separate the dependency declaration (ivy.xml) from the mechanism of retrieval (settings.xml). This is not needed … Read more
I don’t think this is a problem in either Maven or Surefire plug-in. Else the surefire is behaving differently. It looks like now, when Surefire forks the JVM, will not take all the system properties from the parent JVM. That’s why you should pass whatever system properties you want for the tests, using argLine. So, … Read more
It is more related to <fileset> Ant convention upon which Maven is built. **/* : all files in all subdirectories: see Ant Patterns. When ** is used as the name of a directory in the pattern, it matches zero or more directories. For example: /test/** matches all files/directories under /test/, such as /test/x.java, or /test/foo/bar/xyz.html, … Read more
A flexible way to set poms versions, multi-modules projects included, is Versions Maven Plugin. mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=your_new_version It will adjust all pom versions, parent versions and children versions in a multi-module project. then mvn versions:commit or mvn versions:revert
To use a specific snapshot version of a dependency, the referenced artifact should be installed/deployed with a unique snapshot version number. See the uniqueVersion element in the POM reference/Repository. In this case you can reference it like: … <dependency> <groupId>groupid</groupId> <artifactId>artifact-id</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-20090610.041042-5</version> </dependency> … Maven repository manager servers may have additional related features, like overriding … Read more
I don’t think there is a way to configure it as a logger but mvn -q hides the [INFO] lines and mvn -X shows the debug messages. Update in 2015: newer versions of maven have added a config file where this is finally possible although as a global per install configuration, check on your $mavenInstallationDir/conf/logging/simplelogger.properties … Read more
Thats the down side of external links in an accepted answer. Codehaus shut down and thus the solution is gone. For reference here’s the content behind the link – you basically only need to copy the <dependencies>…</dependencies> block to your antrun plugin… The maven-antrun-plugin runs ant with JAVA_HOME set to the jre subdirectory of the … Read more
You can use the maven-antrun-plugin to invoke the ant build. Then use the build-helper-maven-plugin to attach the jar produced by ant to the project. The attached artifact will be installed/deployed alongside the pom. If you specify your project with packaging pom, Maven will not conflict with the ant build. In the example below, the ant … Read more
If you want to download maven dependencies into your lib directory use the dependency plugin with the copy-dependencies function. mvn -DoutputDirectory=./lib -DincludeArtifactIds=commons-logging,commons-io dependency:copy-dependencies Without the -DincludeArtifactIds part you’ll download every dependency. If you want to download a an artifact without having a specific project *see below** : mvn -DgroupId=commons-io -DartifactId=commons-io -Dversion=1.4 dependency:get Resources : maven.apache.org … Read more
