Use of Maven 2 and RTC
Hi,
If as a project you decide to use Maven 2 to handle your builds, package, site etc is there ever an appropriate situation where you would use a mix of traditional Ant based builds and Maven at the same time ? I am thinking that some teams would use traditional Ant and publish jars in to Jazz SCM and optionally into the Maven repository for Maven based teams to pick up. Would you even bother to version control jars produced for the Maven repository ? Just trying to get my head around where go all Maven is appropriate or where a mix may fit Cheers, Adrian |

Hi Adrian,
I am in the same boat trying to assess moving to Maven2 and then using the Jazz build. We currently use maven 1.0.2. I haven't found any build tool offering clarity to release management as maven. I would not understand .. why there is a need to publish jars to Jazz SCM. We definitely version jars in the maven repository .. because the jars generated in the project (custom code) is deployed to maven repo and the deploys fetch the jars from the repo to an environment. Hope this answers your queries to an extent .. Cheers Shanthi Hi, |

Hi,
you might want to consider attaching a hyperlink to the build in RTC that connects and points to your generated data in maven. This would allow full traceability from the build to the artifacts. Creating a release from the build would make it possible to file work items against this build and allow to know every role working in it to access the right data across RTC, Maven and other tools you might use. Just some thoughts. Ralph |
