Maven support

[okapies]

Adds Maven support for the project. It allows us to manage dependencies more easily and, in the future, can remove binary jars in lib/.

Commands

There are mvn commands corresponding to the ones that available by using ant:

• mvn package (=>ant jar)
• mvn package -P jnlp (=>ant jnlp, requires Maven 3.0.3 or later)
• mvn javadoc:javadoc (=>ant javadoc)
• mvn assembly:single (=>ant dist)
  • You can build distribution package automatically by configuring src.xml and bin.xml under the src/main/assembly.

Update(2013/08/18): Now the command equivalent to ant jnlp is also available. (Requires Maven 3.0.3 or later to ensure that it works correctly)

Note

The project's directory structure is not compatible with Maven's standard layout. The recommended layout is below:

• src/ow => src/main/java/ow
• src/resources => src/main/resources
• src/jnlp => src/main/jnlp
• test/ow => src/test/java/ow

Currently build-helper-maven-plugin coordinates them with maven.
