#1 Requesting upload of XMLGen to Maven Central Repository

[jsramos]

Very useful tool. Congrats! It would be nice to have it in Maven Central Repo, though. That way everyone could use it right away without cumbersome classpath setup.

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am not familiar with Maven Repository. I'll have a look.
If you have a hint to do this tell me.

Hello.

Maven is a project lifecycle management tool. It is hosted at apache. It covers some of the functionality provided by ant, but it is definitely not a replacement for ant.

In maven jargon, a JAR a project depends on is called a 'dependency'. Maven has set up a network of servers which include all of the commonly-used dependencies (and some not so commonly used), such as oracle drivers, all apache projects (even some of their incubator), Spring Framework Suite, Hibernate Suite, most JARs from most JSRs, etc; so that when you need to add a dependency, it automatically gets downloaded and added to your project classpath. No more need to download, setup classpath, and update the JAR if needed: Maven does it all for you.

For more info, visit http://maven.apache.org.
And for the artifact upload guidelines, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html.

Thanks again for a very handy tool!

Yours,

J.
