WOProject Wiki, Sections on Maven, especially QuickStart and the guide
on
using maven archetypes for WebObjects.

Can't seem to find it again. :-? I've read so much documentation on
Maven these
past days, must have confused something. My apologies.

I understand. However, somehow this does not work for me. When
generating the
archetype, maven seemed to wantin' downloadin' something (for the
archetype) and
could not find it. That is why I added it to the local repository's
settings.xml. I was
creating the archetypes from the command line, if that makes any
difference.

I did not start setting Maven up from the WOLips side of things. I'm
integrating XWiki
into a WebObjects project. So my first contact with the Maven setup
was the Xwiki's
guide, and that included this section. I found that when I got
multiple profiles and do
not add them to the list of active profiles, they are not used. Maybe
that only applies
if you actually have that section. I'm still quite new to the Maven
business.

No, thank you. :-P
