appFuse2.x第八篇--Maven2

Knowledge of Maven is not required to use AppFuse because the tutorials explain how to use it. If you're interested in learning Maven in-depth, please download the book Better Builds with Maven or Maven: The Definitive Guide ( zip). Both books are free - the first requires registration, the second is available without registration.

For a brief introduction to Maven see Building Web Applications with Maven 2 or The Maven 2 POM demystified. Other articles are available from the Articles on Maven page.

See Maven Plugins for information on plugins used in AppFuse.

Below is a list of commonly-used helpful Maven commands.

Command	Description
mvn clean	Deletes all files in target directory or directories (for multi-module projects)
mvn jetty:run-war	Packages and deploys your application to Jetty, reachable at http://localhost:8080
mvn -Dcargo.wait=true	Packages and deploys your application to active Cargo profile (Tomcat 5.5.x by default), reachable at http://localhost:8080/yourapp-version
mvn test	Runs all tests in src/test/java. Use "-Dtest=ClassName" (not fully-qualified) to run individual tests.
	Use -Dsurefire.useFile=false if you want to see test failures in your console (like Ant) and -Dmaven.surefire.debug if you want to open a debugger on port 5005 w/ suspend=y.
mvn package	Creates a WAR or JAR depending on your project type
mvn integration-test	Runs UI tests in Tomcat using Cargo
mvn install	Installs generated artifacts in your local repository
mvn site	Creates project site and reports
mvn -U	Checks for updated plugins and downloads if they exist
mvn -o	Work offline
mvn --help	See full list of optional commands

Ant vs. Maven

If you used AppFuse 1.x in the past and have taken the time to memorize its useful Ant commands, the following table should help you convert to using Maven.

Ant command	Maven command	Description
ant setup-db	mvn hibernate3:hbm2ddl dbunit:operation	Creates and populates your database
ant test-all	mvn integration-test	Runs unit and integration tests
ant clean	mvn clean	Deletes the target directory
ant compile	mvn compile	Compiles all source files
ant war	mvn package	Creates a WAR file
ant deploy	mvn jetty:run-war	Deploys a WAR to embedded instance of Jetty and starts it
ant test-dao	mvn test -Dtest=*DaoTest	Runs all DAO tests
ant test-service	mvn test -Dtest=*ManagerTest	Runs all Manager tests

Installing a local Maven Repository

If you're using Maven 2 in your organization on multiple projects, it's often a good idea to setup a local Maven repository on your intranet. There's a few different strategies for doing this:

• Artifactory - a Maven2 proxy repository based on JSR-170. Started with maven-proxy's codebase. See Setting up a Maven repository with Artifactory for installation instructions.
• Dead Simple Maven Proxy - DSMP is a proxy. It can be used as a repository server but it's main purposs it to act as a filter when Maven accesses the internet. If you need a repository server, use Archiva.
• Maven Archiva - still under development.
• Maven Proxy - See Sanjiv's blog entry titled Using maven-proxy to setup an internal maven repository for more information.
• Proximity - Proximity functions somewhere between http-proxy and proactive-mirror. One of its primary uses is as Java web application to serve as a Maven proxy on your company's intranet.
