1. Maven & NetBeans Platform

2. Agenda ● Maven NetBeans Platform Project Types ● Three NetBeans RCP project types ● Differences with Ant project types ● All dependencies are artifacts ● Build system: Maven + NetBeans mojos ● Hudson build server ● Artifactory as a repository manager

3.  Maven RCP Projects Project types for Maven based Platform Projects (archetypes)

4.  Maven RCP Projects Maven NetBeans Application > The basis for NetBeans RCP Applications > Maven App Builder Project  MultiModule reactor project  packaging = pom > Application configuration project for platform dependencies  packaging = nbm-application  parent is pom reactor > Additional pom for branding  packaging = nbm  parent is pom reactor > Optionally a starting module  packaging = nbm  parent is pom reactor

5. Maven vs. Ant Projects No library wrapper modules No project.properties, project.xml, and other NetBeans-specific configurations Resources separated from Java files More work in XML files, though more and more UI support is being added Branding separated from application Dependencies set completely differently

6. Maven vs. Ant Projects The Way of Maven: > Pom.xml for projects > Separation of sources from resources > Build system consists of plugins (mojos), loaded from a repository > More than a build system, Maven is a project management system: > CI-System, Issue-Tracking, Repository-Management, Plugin- Management, Dependency-Management > Maven is not a scripting language like Ant, but is based on standard structures in projects.

7. Alle dependencies are artifacts Unknown dependencies found from repositories > Search dialog for classes and > packages in all registered repositoriess

8. Alle dependencies are artifacts Unknown dependencies found from repositories > New hint in source code

9. Alle dependencies are artifacts

10. Build system based on plugins Plugin management in main pom

11. Build system based on plugins Plugin usage in modules & suites

12. Hudson Build Server Hudson for continuous integration

13. Hudson Build Server Hudson for continuous integration

14. Artifactory for Managing Repositories Artifactory > Provides company repository for non-public builds, artifacts, and projects. > Artifact provider for legacy JAR files. > Provides a mirror: > for repositories that are hard to reach > as a stable basis for artifacts from third party repositories or those that are under development > Combines multiple repositories under a single URL. > Provides a user interface for managing repositories.

15. Artifactory for Managing Repositories Artifactory > Direct connection from/to Hudson

16. Artifactory for Managing Repositories Artifactory > Repository Browser

17. Enhancements NetBeans 7 with Maven 3 (since m²) > Maven3embedder by default. > "Build with Dependencies" automatically locates the root aggregator project for even deeply nested modules. There is no need to manually define a "reactor location". > If your project's classpath includes annotation processors registered for use by default (i.e. in META-INF/services), they will now be run by the IDE's editor.
