Eclipse integration#

I installed the Eclipse QE plugin by adding http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-iam/ to the list of software sites and check the Core features plus the Eclipse IAM editor

Create maven project

By hand it can be done with : 

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

Of use Eclipse New Project....

Dependencies#

I have a dependency on x.y.z., how do I know the artifactid, groupID and version of it ?
A very brute way would be to search for pom files in the repository : 

metskem@gneisenau:~$ find .m2/repository/ -name *.pom|wc
    384     384   32808
In a pom file you will find what you need : 
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
  <name>Lang</name>
  <version>2.1</version>
  <description>Commons.Lang, a package of Java utility classes for the
    classes that are in java.lang's hierarchy, or are considered to be so
    standard as to justify existence in java.lang.</description>
  <url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/${pom.artifactId.substring(8)}/</url>

Create repository entry#

I have a project that requires WebSphere jars for compile, how do I arrange that with maven dependencies, I could not find a dependency for that (of course).
You can make it yourself with the install plugin : 

metskem@gneisenau:~$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/metskem/java_libs/com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar -DgroupId=com.ibm.websphere -DartifactId=admin.client -Dversion=7.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

war plugin#

If you want a war file to be generated by maven, you need the (default supplied) war plugin.
I had to add the webXml and containerConfigXML attributes to specify the location of the web.xml and context.xml (Tomcat) file, and also the warName attribute, this can be done in the pom.xml, see the following snippet:


      <plugin>
      	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      	<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
      	<version>2.0</version>
      	<extensions>false</extensions>
      	<inherited>true</inherited>
      	<configuration>
      	  <webXml>WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml</webXml>
      	  <containerConfigXML>WebContent/META-INF/context.xml</containerConfigXML>
      	  <warName>WebTest</warName>
      	</configuration>
      </plugin>

The war file then contains the following : 

metskem@gneisenau:~/workspace/WebTest$ mvn war:war
