This

is

...

a

...

"hands

tutorial"

...

for

...

transitioning

...

from

...

Maven

...

1

...

to

Maven

...

2

...

project

...

management.

...

It

...

could

...

be

...

easily

...

a

...

large

...

book,

...

but

...

I

...

will

...

try

...

to

...

keep

...

things

...

short

...

and

...

simple.

...

If

...

you

...

do

...

not

...

understand

...

something

...

please

...

refer

...

to

...

the

...

mentioned

...

literature

...

or

...

feel

...

free

...

to

...

ask

...

me.

...

For

...

the

...

purposes

...

of

...

this

...

document

...

I

...

will

...

be

...

strict

...

about

...

names

...

Maven

...

1.x

...

and

...

Maven

...

2.x,

...

but

...

later

...

we

...

should

...

assume

...

that

...

unless

...

otherwise

...

specified,

...

when

...

we

...

say

...

maven

...

it

...

will

...

mean

...

Maven

...

2.x.

...

The

...

reader

...

is

...

assumed

...

to

...

be

...

completely

...

familiar

...

with

...

Maven

...

1,

...

and

...

not

...

so

...

much

...

with

...

Maven

...

2.

...

I

...

recommend

...

reading

...

at

...

least

...

the

...

User

documentation

http://maven.apache.org/

In

this

approach,

...

I

...

will

convert

one

...

of

the

GLAST

...

projects:

org-glast-groupmanager,

...

that

...

was

built

with

Maven

1,

...

into

a

Maven

project.

...

I

will

also

assume

that

NetBeans

used

...

for

...

building

...

the

project

...

using

Initially

would

using

mvn.

...

Install

In

Appendix

...

One,

...

I  list  typical GLAST Maven 1 project files and give a log of a successful 'maven' (Maven 1.x)

...

run.

...

I  will concentrate bellow only on the significant changes when transitioning from Maven 1 to Maven 2. The changes will be presented in tabular forms bellow.

1.    Default Directory Structure:

The default directory structure is strongly encouraged, as this leads to better project management.  Most of the time you do not need to change the Maven 1 directory
structure, as it usually follows the recommended default structure for Maven 2.

The default directory structure is actually defined in the Maven 2 "Super POM" file, which all Maven 2 POM objects inherit from. Here is the GLAST directory structure for Maven 2 projects:

artifactId/

project directory

|-- .cvsignore

contains files that are local to build: target, profiles.xml, etc

|-- pom.xml

POM file

|-- profiles.xml

local, user and project dependent profile definitions; this should not be version controlled

|-- LICENSE.txt

license of the project

|-- README.txt

welcome to the reader

|-- src/

original src material; this should be version controlled

    |-- main/

the original material for the artifact

        |-- java

root of main Java source; will be compiled into target/classe

        |-- resources/

main Java resources; will be copied into target/classes

        |-- webapp/

web application with standard web application structure

            |-- WEB-INF/

 

            |     '-- web.xml

 

            '-- index.jsp

 

        |-- assembly/

 

            '-- dep.xml

assembly descriptor for maven-assembly-plugin

        |-- filters/

resource filter properties files for main Java resources

        |-- config/

configuration files for the artifact

        |-- bash/

sources in other technologies for the artifact

        |-- python/


        |-- sql/


    |-- site/

project documentation in different formats; mvn site will produce a project website in target/site based on this material and structure (Doxia)

        |-- fml/

documentation in FML format (XML based FAQ format)

            '-- faq.fml


        |-- resources/

 

            |-- css/

 

            |-- img/

 

            |-- js/

site resources; will be copied into target/site as-is

        |-- site.xml

site descriptor: description of site structure; this will generate menus

        |-- xdoc/

 

            '-- xdoc.xml

documentation in Xdoc format (XML based HTML generation; maven 1 legacy)

    |-- test/

original material to test the artifact

        |-- java/

root of Java source for testing the artifact; usually JUnit test classes; will be compiled into target/test-classes

        |-- resources/

resources for testing the artifact; will be copied into target/test-classes

        |-- filters/

resource filter properties files for resources for testing the artifact

        |-- python/

sources in other technologies for testing the artifact

|-- target/

generated material; this should not be under version control

   |-- artifactId-version.jar

generated artifact

   |-- classes/

result of compilation of src/main/java and copy of src/main/resources

   |-- exported-pom.xml

consolidated POM

   |-- javadoc/

javadoc of src/main/java

   |-- site/

project site generated by mvn site

   |-- surefire-reports/

test reports

   |-- test-classes/

result of compilation of src/test/java and copy of src/test/resources

   |-- announcement/


       '-- announcement.vm

...

|--

...

denotes

...

subdirectory

...

'--

...

denotes

...

file

...

in

...

the

...

directory

(a)

...

Where

...

to

...

begin?

...

For

...

simpler

...

projects

...

one

...

can

...

simply

...

start

...

with

...

converting

...

project.xml

...

to

...

pom.xml

...

(after

...

saving

...

all

...

the

...

project

...

Maven1

...

build

...

files

...

into

...

maven1

...

subdirectory.

...

For

...

more

...

complex

...

projects

...

the

...

rule

...

of

...

thumb

...

is

...

to

...

produce

...

one

...

artifact

...

(JAR,

...

WAR,

...

etc.)

...

per

...

Maven

...

project

...

file.

...

That

...

means

...

that

...

it

...

is

...

prudent

...

to

...

create

...

a

...

maven2

...

(or

...

m2)

...

directory

...


where

...

all

...

the

...

existing

...

code

...

is

...

copied

...

and

...

than

...

rearranged

...

into

...

several

...

subprojects

...

(modules).

...

A

...

parent

...

pom.xml

...

and

...

subproject

...

pom.xml

...

files

...

are

...

than

...

created

...

and

...

each

...

module

...

built

...

separately.

...

I

...

will

...

give

...

an

...

example

...

later

...

in

...

section

...

...

...

When

...

you

...

are

...

finished

...

with

...

migration

...

you

...

can

...

easily

...

remove

...

the

...

old

...

Maven

...

1

...

build.

...

In

...

the

...

m2

...

directory,

...

you

...

will

...

need

...

to

...

create

...

a

...

parent

...

POM.

...

You

...

will

...

use

...

the

...

parent

...

POM

...

to

...

store

...

the

...

common

...

configuration

...

settings

...

that

...

apply

...

to

...

all

...

of

...

the

...

child

...

modules.

...

For

...

example,

...

each

...

module

...

will

...

inherit

...

the

...

following

...

values

...

(settings)

...

from

...

the

...

parent

...

POM.

...


?

...

groupId:

...

this

...

setting

...

indicates

...

your

...

area

...

of

...

influence,

...

company,

...

department,

...

project,

...

etc.,

...

and

...

it

...

should

...

mimic

...

standard

...

package

...

naming

...

conventions

...

(for

...

GLAST

...

this

...

is

...

just

...

'glast'

...

,

...

but

...

in

...

general

...

it

...

will

...

be

...

com.yourcompany.projectname).

...

Maven

...

2

...

will

...

than

...

install

...

the

...

files

...

under

...

/.m2/repository/glast

...

or

...

(

...

/.m2/repository/com/yourcompany/projectname)

...


?

...

artifactId:

...

the

...

setting

...

specifies

...

the

...

name

...

of

...

this

...

module

...

(for

...

example,

...

org-glast-groupmanager).

...

The

...

convention

...

here

...

at

...

GLAST

...

is

...

that

...

all

...

the

...

top

...

projects

...

should

...

be

...

prefixed

...

with

...

org-glast-

...


?

...

version:

...

this

...

setting

...

should

...

always

...

represent

...

the

...

next

...

release

...

version

...

number

...

appended

...

with

...

-

...

SNAPSHOT

...

-

...

that

...

is,

...

the

...

version

...

you

...

are

...

developing

...

in

...

order

...

to

...

release.

...

During

...

the

...

release

...

process,

...

Maven

...

will

...

convert

...

to

...

the

...

definitive,

...

non-snapshot

...

version

...

for

...

a

...

short

...

period

...

of

...

time,

...

in

...

order

...

to

...

tag

...

the

...

release

...

in

...

your

...

SCM.

...


?

...

packaging:

...

the

...

jar,

...

war,

...

and

...

ear

...

values

...

should

...

be

...

obvious

...

to

...

you

...

(a

...

pom

...

value

...

means

...


that

...

this

...

project

...

is

...

used

...

for

...

metadata

...

only

...

-

...

when

...

it

...

is

...

a

...

parent

...

project

...

of

...

several

...

subprojects)

...

In

...

this

...

parent

...

POM

...

you

...

can

...

also

...

add

...

dependencies

...

such

...

as

...

JUnit,

...

which

...

will

...

be

...

used

...

for

...

testing

...

in

...

every

...

module,

...

thereby

...

eliminating

...

the

...

requirement

...

to

...

specify

...

the

...

dependency

...

repeatedly

...

across

...

multiple

...

modules.

...

The

...

other

...

possible

...

addition

...

to

...

the

...

parent

...

POM

...

files

...

is

...

specifying

...

build

...

properties

...

that

...

are

...

common

...

to

...

all

...

the

...

modules,

...

for

...

example

...

JDK

...

settings,

...

etc.

...

This

...

will

...

be described later.

2.    Maven 2 project file pom.xml

The most reliable way to convert from project.xml to pom.xml is to follow the respective XML schema:
1.    http://maven.apache.org/maven-v3_0_0.xsd

...

for

...

Maven

...

1.1.

...


2.

...

    http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd

...

for

...

Maven

...

2.0.

...

Note:

...

The

...

simplest

...

thing

...

to

...

do

...

in

...

transition

...

from

...

Maven

...

1

...

to

...

Maven

...

2

...

project

...

building

...

is

...

to

...

rename

...

project.xml

...

file

...

into

...

pom.xml

...

file

...

first.

...

However,

...

there

...

are

...

slight

...

differences

...

that

...

need

...

to

...

be

...

addressed

...

and

...

they

...

are

...

presented

...

in

...

the

...

table

...

bellow.

...

I

...

recommend creating  subdirectories in the project directory called maven1 and maven2, where project files from both versions  are kept (under the version control) until you are comfortable that your project is fully converted to a Maven 2 project.

You can start by moving project.xml to pom.xml, change pomVersion to modelVersion in the table bellow and than follow some of the mappings (bold letters denote elements that need to be changed. The following table resulted from conversion of project.xml in pom.xml of the org-glast-groupmanager project. Mappings between project.xml and pom.xml elements:

Maven 1.x 

  Maven 2.x  

Description

<project>

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

...


  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

...

...

">

...

Keep

...

more

...

extended

...

version

...

of

...

project,

...

so

...

you

...

can

...

visit

...

the

...

schema

...

and

...

validate

...

document

<pomVersion>3.0.0</pomVersion>

...

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

Differentiates

...

between

...

different

Maven 2 profile files

Profiles are Maven 2 way of letting you create environmental variations in the build life cycle to accommodate things like building on different platforms, building with different JVMs, testing with different databases, or referencing the local file system. Typically, you try to encapsulate as much as possible in the POM to ensure that builds are portable, but sometimes you simply have to take into consideration variation across systems and this is why profiles were introduced in Maven 2.

Profiles modify the POM at build time, and are meant to be used in complementary sets to give equivalent-but-different parameters for a set of target environments (providing, for example, the path of the application server root in the development, testing, and production environments).

As such, profiles can easily lead to differing build results from different members of your team. However, used properly, you can still preserve build portability with profiles. You can define profiles in one of the following three places:

? The Maven 2 settings file (typically <your -home-directory>/.m2/settings.xml)

...


?

...

A

...

file

...

in

...

the

...

the

...

same

...

directory

...

as

...

the

...

POM,

...

called

...

profiles.xml

...


?

...

The

...

POM

...

itself

...

In

...

terms

...

of

...

which

...

profile

...

takes

...

precedence,

...

the

...

local-most

...

profile

...

wins.

...

So,

...

POM-specified

...

profiles

override

...

those

...

in

...

profiles.xml,

...

and

...

profiles.xml

...

overrides

...

those

...

in

...

settings.xml.

...

This

...

is

...

a

...

pattern

...

that

...

is

...

repeated

...

throughout

...

Maven

...

2,

...

that

...

local

...

always

...

wins,

...

because

...

it

...

is

...

assumed

...

to

...

be

...

a

...

modification

...

of

...

a

...

more

...

general

...

case.

...

settings.xml

...

profiles

...

have

...

the

...

potential

...

to

...

affect

...

all

...

builds,

...

so

...

they're

...

sort

...

of

...

a

...

"global"

...

location

...

for

...

profiles.

...

profiles.xml

...

allows

...

you

...

to

...

augment

...

a

...

single

...

project's

...

build

...

without

...

altering

...

the

...

POM.

...


And

...

the

...

POM-based

...

profiles

...

are

...

preferred,

...

since

...

these

...

profiles

...

are

...

portable

...

(they

...

will

...

be

...

distributed

...

to

...

the

...

repository

...

on

...

deploy,

...

and

...

are

...

available

...

for

...

subsequent

...

builds

...

originating

...

from

...

the

...

repository

...

or

...

as

...

transitive

...

dependencies).

...

Because

...

of

...

the

...

portability

...

implications,

...

any

...

files

...

which

...

are

...

not

...

distributed

...

to

...

the

...

repository

...

are

...

NOT

...

allowed

...

to

...

change

...

the

...

fundamental

...

build

...

in

...

any

...

way.

...

Therefore,

...

the

...

profiles

...

specified

...

in

...

profiles.xml

...

and

...

settings.xml

...

are

...

only

...

allowed

...

to

...

define:

...

?

...

repositories

...


?

...

pluginRepositories

...


?

...

properties

...

Everything

...

else

...

must

...

be

...

specified

...

in

...

a

...

POM

...

profile,

...

or

...

in

...

the

...

POM

...

itself,

...

or

...

not

...

at

...

all.

...

For

...

example,

...

if

...

you

...

had

...

a

...

profile

...

in

...

settings.xml

...

that

...

was

...

able

...

to

...

inject

...

a

...

new

...

dependency,

...

and

...

the

...

project

...

you

...

were

...

working

...

on

...

actually

...

did

...

depend

...

on

...

that

...

settings-injected

...

dependency

...

in

...

order

...

to

...

run,

...

then

...

once

...

that

...

project

...

is

...

deployed

...

to

...

the

...

repository

...

it

...

will

...

never

...

fully

...

resolve

...

its

...

dependencies

...

transitively

...

when

...

asked

...

to

...

do

...

so.

...

That's

...

because

...

it

...

left

...

one

...

of

...

its

...

dependencies

...

sitting

...

in

...

a

...

profile

...

inside

...

your

...

settings.xml

...

file.

...

For

...

example,

...

GLAST

...

specific

...

m2

...

repository

...

should

...

be

...

specified

...

in

...

profiles.xml

...

file

...

(thus

...

allowing

...

developers

...

outside

...

GLAST

...

to

...

refer

...

to

...

some

...

other

...

repositories),

...

and

...

developer

...

specific

...

m2

...

repository

...

(if

...

the

...

developer

...

keeps

...

its

...

own

...

repository)

...

can

...

be

...

specified

...

in

...

settings.xml

...

file.

...

(c)

...

Profile

...

file

...

You

...

can

...

define

...

the

following

elements

...

in

?

...

...


?

...

...


?

(not

...

Activating

...

profiles

...

Since

...

you

...

build

...

profiles

...

for

...

specific

...

tasks

...

(like

...

debug

...

build

...

or

...

test

...

build),

...

you

...

need

...

to

...

have

...

mechanism

...

to

...

identify

...

and

...

activate

...

the

...

profiles

...

in

...

different

...

situations.

...

There

...

are

...

several

...

ways

...

that

...

you

...

can

...

activate

...

profiles:

...

1.

...

Profiles

...

can

...

be

...

specified

...

explicitly

...

using

...

the

...

mvn

...

-

...

P

...

command

...

line

...

option.

...

This

...

option

...

takes

...

an

...

argument

...

that

...

contains

...

a

...

comma-delimited

...

list

...

of

...

profile-ids.

...

When

...

this

...

option

...

is

...

specified,

...

no

...

profiles

...

other

...

than

...

those

...

specified

...

in

...

the

...

option

...

argument

...

will

...

be

...

activated.

...

For

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
mvn -Pprofile1,profile2 install
{code}

2.

...

Profiles

...

can

...

be

...

activated

...

in

...

the

...

Maven

...

settings,

...

via

...

the

...

activeProfiles

...

section.

...

This

...

section

...

takes

...

a

...

list

...

of

...

activeProfile

...

elements,

...

each

...

containing

...

a

...

profile-id.

...

Note

...

that

...

you

...

must

...

have

...

defined

...

the

...

profiles

...

in

...

your

...

settings.xml

...

file

...

as

...

well.

...

For

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
<settings>
[...]
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>profile1</id>
[...]
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>profile1</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
[...]
</settings>
{code}

3.

...

Profiles

...

can

...

be

...

triggered

...

automatically

...

based

...

on

...

the

...

detected

...

state

...

of

...

the

...

build

...

environment.

...

These

...

activators

...

are

...

specified

...

via

...

an

...

activation

...

section

...

in

...

the

...

profile

...

itself.

...

Currently,

...

this

...

detection

...

is

...

limited

...

to

...

prefix-matching

...

of

...

the

...

JDK

...

version,

...

the

...

presence

...

of

...

a

...

system

...

property,

...

or

...

the

...

value

...

of

...

a

...

system

...

property.

...

Here

...

are

...

some

...

examples:

...

3.1.

{
Code Block
}
<profile>
<id>profile1</id>
[...]
<activation>
<jdk>1.4</jdk>
</activation>
 </profile>
{code}

This

...

activator

...

will

...

trigger

...

the

...

profile

...

when

...

the

...

JDK's

...

version

...

starts

...

with

...

"1.4"

...

(e.g.,

...

"1.4.0_08",

...

"1.4.2_07",

...

"1.4").

...

3.2

Code Block
 	
{code}
<profile>
<id>profile1</id>
[...]
<activation>
<property>
<name>debug</name>
</property>
</activation>
</profile>

This will activate the profile when the system property "debug" is specified with any value.
         3.3 
{code}
<profile>

<profile>
<id>profile1</id>

...


...

...


<activation>

...


<property>

...


<name>environment</name>

...


<value>test</value>

...


</property>

...


</activation>

...


</profile>

{
Code Block
}
This last example will activate the profile when the system property "environment" is specified with the value "test".


h3. (e)	profiles.xml  file for org-glast-groupmanager

Based on the general discussion above of profiles, I  have chosen initially the following profiles.xml file. 

Note: settings.xml file in my Maven2 repository directory (~igor/.m2) is just:

{code:title=settings.xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
</settings>
{code}

The

...

profiles

...

file

...

will

...

initially

...

point

...

to

...

project

...

specific

...

repositories

...

that

...

are

...

needed

...

to

...

complete

...

the

...

dependency

...

resolution.

...

In

...

the

...

transition

...

period,

...

when

...

some

...

of

...

the

...

files

...

are

...

in

...

Maven

...

1

...

repositories

...

(both

...

GLAST

...

and

...

developer

...

)

...

and

...

only

...

some

...

of

...

the

...

files

...

are

in

is

to

define
