Maven

The most usefull Maven goals (to be executed from root directory) are :

• maven multiproject:goal -Dgoal=eclipse
• create Eclipse project files (.project and .classpath) for all modules
• maven multiproject:install
• compile, test and build jar for all modules
• maven multiproject:site
• generate the documentation
• maven site:deploy
• deploy the generated documentation to the web site

For site deployement the following configuration build.properties file located in the user home directory can be used :

maven.username = user
maven.scp.executable = pscp
maven.ssh.executable = plink
maven.scp.args = -pw *******
maven.ssh.args = -pw *******

Note that under Windows the executables are overloaded in order to use PSCP and Plink from PuTTY instead of Cygwin.
