We could use maven to automatically generate some Ant build files for folks who are maven averse. Though there is such rich tooling support now in Maven for working with JBI (e.g. creating JBI archetypes, creating JBI deployment units) so anyone working with ServiceMix should try to use Maven as the build/deploy tool (unless using the Eclipse tooling which is using Maven internally anyway ;-).
Maybe if the examples were just downloadable as pre-built artifacts you'd not have to use Maven to run the examples, you could just drop them into a running server? On 8/24/06, Jeppe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It seems a bit contrived to have to use maven to build the examples. Maven might be used to build the release, but it seems strange that the distribution should be dependent on Maven. With Maven there is alot of "magic" going on in the background which doesn't add to the clarity of the examples and facilitates a low threashold of entry into servicemix. This was not the case in M2, but has changed sometimes after. Or maybe it's just this way when building the SNAPSHOT package? I believe that the examples are usually the entry point for beginner (like mysellf) in getting to grips with a new platform. What is the reason for this? Any possibilities to revert this course? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Why-do-examples-need-maven-to-run-tf2157824.html#a5961238 Sent from the ServiceMix - Dev forum at Nabble.com.
