== Overview ==
In Bolsena hacking event 2009, we decided to move from ant build to maven.

=== Maven structure ===

[[Image(maven.png)]]

 * GeoServer : no more embedded in GeoNetwork
 * CSW client : removed
 * jetty : via Maven (see Run the application) 

=== Maven build ===
==== Build the application ====
{{{
mvn clean install
}}}


==== Packaging the application ====
GeoNetwork is distributed as WAR files (intermap.war and geonetwork.war) packaged by maven process.

==== Run the application ====
Maven plugins for Jetty or Cargo allows to quickly start the application after build.

===== War files =====
Publish war files created by maven to your favorite webapp directory (Tomcat, Jetty).

===== Maven plugin / Cargo =====
See : http://cargo.codehaus.org/
{{{
mvn cargo:start
mvn cargo:stop
}}}
===== Maven plugin / Jetty =====
{{{ 
mvn jetty:run
}}}
Current issue with jetty plugin is that we cannot run more than one application at a time (only geonetwork.war is started, not intermap.war).

==== Deploy the application ====
 * TODO

==== Create an eclipse workspace ====
{{{
mvn eclipse:eclipse
}}}

=== Major changes ===
 * OAI-PMH dependencies
 * GAST : 
  * Gast was using only the application path to load both resources and libs (from WEB-INF/lib). Add a libPath and an appPath.
  * Remove jetty and mckoi startup (see Open issues)
  * Current status : GAST could be used to create db (not mckoi ones) and load data once the catalogue is started.

=== Open issues ===
 * GAST :
  * hardcoded classpath in MANIFEST
  * Gast start jetty to start mckoi and setup all.
