So thanks to the users of this list ive now gotten up the learning curve of:-
Creating maven projects Converting existing java project to maven Integrating with Subversion Creating a maven repository Releasing via maven-release-plugin from Subversion into the Maven Repository So thanks very much for that - its been an education I'm coming from a non-java background so the next question is quite newbie I feel. Now I have my artifact in the maven repisitory whats the best way for getting it to the server it needs to be used on. I asked this a similar question to this a few days ago and someone mentioned an Ant script - I can see there are Maven tasks for Ant - but not having used it before the example (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/ant-tasks/trunk/sample.build.xml) seems more complex than I need. Does someone have a simple example of using an Ant script to pull from a Maven repository? Or can someone recommend other approaches for moving released artifacts from a Maven repository to target UAT,Staging,Production servers. Thanks once again for your help.
