[14:21:30 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> greetings
[14:21:37 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> JA-SIG Jira looks down
[14:21:50 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> anyone working on this or should I hop in there and restart it a couple times?
[14:26:07 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> please do

[15:09:39 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> question, who here uses Maven 2 for their portlet projects?
[15:10:06 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> me but you knew that
[15:10:17 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> lol, I almost said besides grimesp
[15:10:21 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> lol
[15:12:28 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I'm wanting to create a parent pom for all portlets...wondering if anyone had done that
[15:13:19 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> I have been toying with that idea myself. Every time I make a new pom that is an awful lot like the previous ones I made.
[15:13:36 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ya ya, exactly why I want too
[15:13:54 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> hoping to put repository information in there too instead of in settings.xml
[15:14:15 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> I've done it for another set of projects that I have been working on.
[15:15:02 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I've been reading about it but it looks like the parent is part of the project ... I wouldn't want to have one project with all the portlets in it
[16:01:03 EDT(-0400)] * holdorph is a little late to the discussion.
[16:01:15 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> why not just create a new maven archetype?
[16:01:28 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> to build the standard skeleton you want to start from?
[16:04:42 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> I have done that and I am pretty sure Dustin has too. However, the benefit to having a parent pom would be that it is a single place to store common elements like distributionManagement and repository settings. Then you would just have to update the parent pom instead of dozens of project specific pom files.
[16:32:16 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> So as it turns it, it's just a matter of installing the parent pom to the repository if you don't want to have it in the same project
[16:32:44 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I actually haven't got to archetypes yet...I need too though
[16:33:50 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> I was going to ask if you tried that cuz I couldn't think of why it wouldn't work that way
[16:34:13 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> well I wanted to get the repository settings out of settings.xml but that isn't going to happen
[16:34:43 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> they will have to be there for it to find the parent pom in our repository
[16:34:58 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> ah yes it would
[16:35:22 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I was hoping that ideally a person could just checkout a project and run mvn commands but they'll need to adjust settings.xml before
[16:35:57 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> me still <3 Maven
