Using Maven to build worldwind

[zolyfarkas]

I am new to this project, I have downloaded the project source and noticed that ant is used to build this project.
Is there a plan to move from ant to maven at some point in time? Anybody created a maven project file so that I don't go ahead and reinvent the wheel.

thanks

From the WW Workshop we had today: "What IS maven?"

[zolyfarkas]

here is your answer:

http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html

I can send you a simple POM file I built today that will build the WW project...

[zolyfarkas]

here is info on how to easily build with maven:
http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html

also all major IDEs have maven plugins, making it very easy for developers to use any IDE ...

only need to put a file named pom.xml(project definition) in project root containing:

Hi zolyfarkas,

Thanks for posting your pom.xml for the World Wind for Java SDK. I had to tweak the java plugin dependency to read

		<dependency>
			<groupId>java</groupId>
			<artifactId>plugin</artifactId>
			<version>1.6.0_13</version>
			<scope>system</scope>
			<systemPath>${java.home}/lib/plugin.jar</systemPath>
			<optional>true</optional>
		</dependency>

Here is another tweak made to get the config and images resources into the worldwind.jar...

    <build>

        <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>

        <resources>
        
            <resource>                     
                
                <filtering>false</filtering>
                
                <directory>${basedir}/src</directory>
                
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.properties</include>
                </includes>
                
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>config/</exclude>
                    <exclude>images/</exclude>
                </excludes>                     
                
            </resource>
