I am using maven with subversion and clearcase for more than 4 years.
My new project is in Jazz RTC with Ant as a build tool.
I want to move from Ant to Maven2 or Maven3.
I am new to Jazz RTC. Please guide me on how to use Maven with Jazz RTC?
This article is a great introduction: "When Maven meets Rational Team Concert"
once the user has chosen to create a Build Definition using the Maven Build template, he needs to specify:
in which folder is stored the pom.xml (Project location) and
which Maven goals to reach during the build. That’s it!
The wiki page on Maven build is quite complete.
The FAQ on How do I use the Jazz SCM Provider for Maven? refers to the Maven SCM Plugin.

Currently I'm working on a Maven plugin that should generate files in all projects (OSGi bundles) that have a certain Eclipse project nature.
How can I access the contents of the projects included in the build and the project natures by using the Maven API?
Maven is a standalone build tool, not an Eclipse plugin. You cannot access Eclipse project settings from core Maven API.
Eclipse supports Maven with the M2E Eclipse plugin. It is possible to write M2E extensions and in the extension you can query the project natures via the functions of AbstractProjectConfigurator class.
However, M2E extensions will not run when you compile your code in the command line. I suggest that you choose one of the followings:
Write an Eclipse plugin that generates the source code into the src folder of the maven project. Code generation should be started by the user manually (selecting a context menu in the project or something).
Avoid using Eclipse project natures and solve your questions based on analyzing the source and pom of your project.
If you need to react on certain aspects in the source code like it looks from the thread with Balazs then you can simply write an ordinary maven plugin and include it in the parent pom. It will then run in every project and can analyze the code and react based on it.
I want to integrate Maven with Clearcase, I am using 7.1 version in UCM mode with dynamic view.
I am new to maven and need to integrate for an existing project. Please let me know what steps I need to follow to integrate Maven and clearcase.
Have a look at the Maven documentation: http://maven.apache.org/scm/clearcase.html
We are using Maven to build our projects and Nexus as repository manager.
Is there a way to know where an artifact is a dependency of another artifact?
For example, we want to know which of the artifacts in our Release repository have a dependency on commons-io 1.2, or version x.y of our framework2, or ...
mvn dependency:tree should help you get this info.
Have you looked at the Maven Site plugin in conjunction with the dependencies and dependencies-convergence report from the Maven Project Info Reports plugin?
This will generate an html report that shows all the artifacts that the project uses and what other artifacts that are dependent on that artifact.
The Maven client will only tell you the dependencies of a single project. I'd recommend using Sonar as part of your build process. It's primarily used for source code analysis, but it will also report usage of a particular library by other projects in the same Sonar database.
I am using NetBeans 6.9 Beta and I would like to accomplish the following:
Set up a project representing the main application using Maven (for instance "Maven Project", "Maven NetBeans Application")
Ideally, the project should only contain the necessary libraries to run in Apache Felix (I would like to be able to right-click the project and select "Run in Felix")
I do not want that the project contains all the NetBean Platform APIs
I would prefer to implement the modules using OSGi. For instance "Maven OSGi Bundle", "Maven NetBeans Module" + OSGi
These are the problems, which I have at the moment:
The standard Maven archetype ("Maven NetBeans Application") seems always to select all APIs and I have not found a way to deselect APIs - in normal NetBeans Platform Applications that can be accomplished by going to the project properties and deselected the platform modules) - I guess it has something to do with the NetBeans repository (http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2)? Do I have to create another repository?
When creating normal "NetBeans Module" with OSGi support, the modules contain both NetBeans Module and OSGi meta data, which is nice. So, for instance the tool support in NetBeans is available for both technologies. But the "Maven NetBeans Modules" have only NetBeans meta data and the Maven OSGi Bundles have only OSGi meta data).
3. I figured out how to add modules to the project by using project / new and then placing the modules in the Maven project folder. However, I do not quite know yet how I could link to modules from other locations (NetBeans uses Maven modules, which have to be in the same directory as the project?).
Below some useful links for Maven + OSGi in NetBeans

(sorry about the missing protocol but couldn't post the message otherwise)
your nbm-application project depends on all platform projects.. just use the regular maven dependency management (adding/removing dependencies, adding dependency excludes to limit your platform
configure the nbm plugin and the bundle plugin yourself to sequentially append content to the manifest file.. I think Fabrizio Guidici's forceten and bluemarine projects do that in some way..
I don't understand the problem entirely. maven modules are a different thing than netbeans modules. you can for sure compose the application from multiple independently build nb module artifacts.
I have a couple of projects that I'm working on in Eclipse (or any IDE, so I don't want to depend on specific eclipse dependency maven capabilities). Some projects depend on other projects. Typically in Eclipse I would add the projects as references to other projects, but I'm not sure how to handle this when using Maven. In the deployment environment, there will be jars created and the maven build can pull the latest jars from the repository. Is there a way to reference another project's source code using maven while in the dev environment? For example...
I have this scenario:
Project A depends on B
I need to make a change to B and that will require an update to A. I don't want to make the change to B and check it in without checking in A since that will break A. And I would like to manage these dependencies through Maven -- any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Jeff
The maven 2 eclipse plugin has 'workspace dependency resolution', where the dependencies are first looked up in the workspace, and then in the repository.
What I do is use SNAPSHOT version when doing my development. Project A depends on the latest SHAPSHOT version of Project B, so when I change Project B, I have Team City recompile and push out a new SHAPSHOT artifact to artifactory. Then I clean and compile project A to get the new Project B.
