I have played around a little bit with Maven and I think I can see some
benefit to migrating our builds over to it. My question now becomes ³How do
I migrate our ANT scripts over to Maven?²
Our build.xml is rather lengthy and we have 3 frameworks, 2 web apps, 1 set
of cayenne based web services, and some command line utilities that all get
build when we do a release. We have multiple developers working on the code
and a remote QA and testing team doing the build and releases. Half of our
team uses CVS the other half (the WebObjects/Cayenne guys) uses Subversion.
I want to just try converting the WO side first. We use TestTrackPro for our
issue tracking.
I get the impression that I need to do the following:
* Create a remote maven repository
* Add all of our dependent Jar files to the remote repository
* create separate Maven pom.xml for each framework, application that all
inherit from a higher level pom.xml
* Somehow convert what we do during our ANT build to maven stuff (we do some
XSL transforms, moving files from place to place, generate WSDL, build
woapps and woframeworks)
* Somehow tie in our release numbers into everything
Any thoughts or advice are welcomed.
