I had the same headache, and finally spent an hour reading java docs and experimenting with the classpath. It's straightforward once you do that. Learning maven on the other hand ... :/
- runevault 17y agoYeah Maven has been a tough road to say the least. Some time soon I want to just sit down and go through some of the maven tutorials/docs out there and lock in on getting comfortable with it, since it seems so popular.
- tomjen2 17y agoThrow Maven the hell away - ant is more than powerful enough for your needs and really simple to extend.
- locopati 17y agoI would advise staying away from both Ant and Maven. Use Rake or some other scripting based build system and cut out the XML middleman (this from a long-time Java coder who's fed up with the impedence mismatch of 'I want to do X, but XML lets me do Y, and I don't have time to write my own Ant task to do it'). But, if you must, use Ant and forget about Maven - way more complex than it needs to be. And, again, if dependency management is a must, look at Ivy.
