[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: Maven 2.0 - single module and minimal server build

Hi guys,

If I may, what's not supported is the following:

  |     /root
  |         pom.xml
  |         /module1
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module2
  |             pom.xml
  | 
This is the standard Maven 2 layout, but if you run mvn eclipse:eclipse at the root, it will generate the following which is not supported by eclipse:

  |     /root
  |         .project
  |         .classpath
  |         pom.xml
  |         /module1
  |             .project
  |             .classpath
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module2
  |             .project
  |             .classpath
  |             pom.xml
  | 

That's the nested kind of projects that eclipse doesn't support.

Whereas, the following alternative (known as "flat" in the M2 doc) is a safe layout:

  |     /root
  |         /root
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module1
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module2
  |             pom.xml
  | 

Because if you run mvn eclipse:eclipse at the root, it will generate the following which is supported by eclipse:

  |     /root
  |         /root
  |             .project
  |             .classpath
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module1
  |             .project
  |             .classpath
  |             pom.xml
  |         /module2
  |             .project
  |             .classpath
  |             pom.xml
  | 

For more information, here is the Maven 2 documentation:

By the way, I'm really glad that you guys are looking into migrating the JBoss build system to Maven 2. As a long time Maven (1 and 2) user and a JBossAS afficionados, it has always been tricky to use JBoss libraries from a Maven 2 project (and before Maven 1). Such a move will make things a lot easier !

Is there a road map regarding that migration plan ?

Cheers
