Maven Dependencies

[suikast42]

Hello,

I'm running currently on JBoss 5.1.0.GA . I develop an EJB Application with JPA( Hibenate ) with ant. But I have an eye on maven. One of the great thing on maven is as you know the dependency management. So I'll not add any library references to my projekt ( so far as possible).

Bu I'm not so familar with the maven stuff an need help about the dependecy management. What for dependendies I need ?

The only one I found is

<dependency>

    <groupid>org.jboss.jbossas</groupid>

    <artifactid>jboss-as-client</artifactid>

    <version>5.1.0.GA</version>

</dependency>

My problem is I don't know  where I can find the nedded dependencies for example for JPA or Hibernate only or where. Where I can collect information like this.

And what is if I decide to switch to Jboss AS 6 or JBoss AS7

<dependency>

    <groupid>org.jboss.jbossas</groupid>

    <artifactid>jboss-as-client</artifactid>

    <version>6.1.0.Final</version>

</dependency>

is that enough ??

Thnaks in advance.

Peter thanks for reply. The link is only the configuration of the repositories if I'm not wrong. I need information about the dependenies that I need in my pom.xml. For Example for an EJB prohect, hibernate project or a client project.

Try running:

mvn archetype:generate

and try a few of the many JEE options.

Thanks Stephen.

I forget to say that I use maven with Eclipse 3.7. This use maven in emebbeded mode. Can I run maven commands from eclipse or must I download install maven in standalone version?

Can you explain me what the command mvn archetype:generate does ? And where can I find the JEE options ?

[sfcoy]

Yes. Download and install the standalone version. It's a whole 3MB.

Then have a look at http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/.

And this page http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html is your friend. Maven is a plugin rich environment, and you will need to learn how to configue them.

I also just remembered that you can create a new "Maven" project using a wizard in Eclipse. This will use the archetype mechanism if you want too.
