Maven Information

This page is intended to provide an insight into basic Maven usage for users that are not all that familiar with Maven projects. It is by no means a tutorial and is designed to be more of a quickstart to get you up and running.

You can find a really good Maven tutorial here: http://books.sonatype.com/mvnex-book/reference/public-book.html

It is assumed that:

• You have downloaded and installed Maven and that you can run mvn --version from any command prompt (or console).
• You have downloaded and installed Subversion and that you can run svn --version from any command prompt or console.

It is also assumed you have downloaded one of the following:

• One of the example projects from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk/examples
• The entire project source from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk

Use Subversion to checkout the example sources from a console like so:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk/examples/[example]

Or that you may of course also be using your own project pom.xml

If you want to use the latest snapshot locate the section in your pom.xml and ensure the following repository exists:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>apache-m2-snapshot</id>
    <name>Apache M2 Snapshot Repository</name>
    <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/</url>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
    </snapshots>
  </repository>
</repositories>
