configure maven
create a simple java project
- check your ~/m2/settings.xml
- create project with archetype plugin
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.lokvin -DartifactId=baseman -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=me.lokvin.example -DartifactId=SpringExample -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
- create a new github repository
touch README.md git init git add . git commit -m "first commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/xxxx/baseman.git git push -u origin master
- make it to eclipse project
>cd baseman >mvn eclipse:eclipse
mvn archetype
mvn download source code

localRepository | Maven 用来存储 plugins 和 dependencies 的本地目录。 默认为 ~/.m2/repository. 可以通过这个属性来指定别的目录 |
interactiveMode | Default is true. Maven interact with user for input |
offline | Default is false. When set true, maven operate in offline mode |
servers | Maven can interact with a variety of servers, such as: SVN, build server, remote repository server. This element specify security credentials. such as username, passwd which connect to these server |
mirrors | specify alternative locations for your respositories |
proxies | http proxy information connect to internet |
profiles | profiles allow to group certain configuration elements, such as: repositories and pluginRepositories |
activeProfile | activeProfile allow you specify default profile to be active for maven use |
maven dependency management

Enterprise Maven repository architecture

Maven Dependency Management

maven create spring example project
- create empty project
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=me.lokvin.example -DartifactId=SpringExample -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
maven dependency scope
- compile
This is the default scope, used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths of a project. Furthermore, those dependencies are propagated to dependent projects.
- provided
This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime. For example, when building a web application for the Java Enterprise Edition, you would set the dependency on the Servlet API and related Java EE APIs to scope provided because the web container provides those classes. This scope is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is not transitive.
- runtime
This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for execution. It is in the runtime and test classpaths, but not the compile classpath.
- test
This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution phases.
- system
This scope is similar to provided except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always available and is not looked up in a repository.
- import (only available in Maven 2.0.9 or later)
This scope is only used on a dependency of type pom in the <dependencyManagement> section. It indicates that the specified POM should be replaced with the dependencies in that POM's <dependencyManagement> section. Since they are replaced, dependencies with a scope of import do not actually participate in limiting the transitivity of a dependency.
