Using Maven

Checking out a project

Please take a look at the 52°North portal, because the location of the svn repositories has changed (more information...).

svn co https://svn.52north.org/svn/swe/main/SAS/

svn co https://svn.52north.org/svn/security/

Please incorborate the instructions into this page Take a look for the walkthrough for Linux (adaptable for Windows as well). Please remind, for the WPS software you'll need additional repositories. Take a look here (under "Installation of the service (CVS and maven instructions)").

After dowloading the files from the remote repository you can continue with loading the dependencies and optionally integrate you local copy into eclipse.

Installing in local repository

You can skip this step if it fails and you just want to get the project into eclipse. mvn install

Deploying to the remote repository

Maven and Eclipse

Once for each workspace, Eclipse needs to know the path to the local maven repository. Therefore the classpath variable M2_REPO has to be set. Execute the following command: mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo |

Now you can run mvn eclipse:eclipse from the root of you you module (e.g. /home/user/52n-repo/sas/trunk/ ).

If maven cannot find the swe-xxx.pom or on of the 52North-xxx.pom files, you need to add the 52North repository to your settings-file. See section configure above. -- JanTorbenHeuer - 02 Nov 2007

generics are not supported in -source 1.3

D:\workspace\common\src\main\java\org\n52\swe\common\types\IAnyNumerical.java:[4
1,30] generics are not supported in -source 1.3
(use -source 5 or higher to enable generics)
public interface IAnyNumerical> {

This means, that you have java code which is not compilable by java compiler less java5. Since mavens default java compiler level is less than 5 you have to add to your pom file the following:

<dependencies>

<!-- your dependencies here -->

</dependencies>
   
<build>
   
   <!-- For annotations and other Java5 stuff -->
   
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.5</source>
          <target>1.5</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Deploy on https://52north.org/maven from behind a proxy

The current stable release of Maven (2.0.9) does not allow to specify more than one proxy server which is a problem if you need to deploy releases, snapshots, and sites from behind a proxy via webdav with https, while other urls need to be accessed via simple http. I created patches for Maven 2.0.10-RC6 (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/tags/maven-2.0.10-RC6) and the maven site-plugin 2.0-beta-7 (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-site-plugin-2.0-beta-7) that allows to specify more than one proxy.
