build-process

I'm relatively new to the Maven mantra, but I'm trying to build a command-line runnable jar with Maven. I've setup my dependencies, but when I run mvn install and attempt to run the jar, two things happen. First, no main class is found, which is correctable. When I've corrected this, I get errors on run stating that classes cannot be found. Maven is not packaging my dependency libraries inside of the jar, so I am unable to run the jar as a stand-alone application. How do I correct this? Pascal Thivent The easiest way to do this would be to create an assembly using the maven-assembly-plugin and

I need to get a hold of every flag, every switch used in the build process by the Visual Studio binaries. I tried to obtain a verbose output by using vcbuild , but I wasn't able. What do I have to do to see everything performed by Visual Studio for me? It's not necessary to obtain the output in the build window. Anywhere would be fine. Tim Dowty Open the project properties dialog, then choose Configuration Properties → C/C++ → General Change the setting for Suppress Startup Banner to No The cl command line(s) will be shown in the output window.

What are the main benefits of using maven compared to let's say ant ? It seems to be more of a annoyance than a helpful tool. I use maven 2, with plain Eclipse Java EE (no m2eclipse), and tomcat. Supporters of maven believe that Maven lets you get your package dependencies easily Maven forces you to have a standard directory structure In my experience Figuring out package dependencies is really not that hard. You rarely do it anyway. Probably once during project setup and few more during upgrades. With maven you'll end up fixing mismatched dependencies, badly written poms, and doing package

Disclaimer: I've been using Git for a while but still find it confusing. I'm setting a build process for a project and am running into a problem updating the git repository. I created the repository on the server, lets say C:\MyProject. I connected my computer to the repository with SourceTree. Do a pull and get all my code, everything is great so far. I go to make a commit but get an error saying: "refusing to update checked out branch... By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository is denied" Use Google a bit, and I realize that the git repository on the server shouldn't

Our build server is taking too long to build one of our C++ projects. It uses Visual Studio 2008. Is there any way to get devenv.com to log the time taken to build each project in the solution, so that I know where to focus my efforts? Improved hardware is not an option in this case. I've tried setting the output verbosity (under Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / Build and Run / MSBuild project build output verbosity). This doesn't seem to have any effect in the IDE. When running MSBuild from the command line (and, for Visual Studio 2008, it needs to be MSBuild v3.5), it displays the
