Maven

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:

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>
