Maven 2 instructions

[danielmeyer]

I think the instructions for using pre-release versions of BTM with Maven 2 are a little wrong: They show that you should put this in your pom.xml file:

<remoteRepository>
    <key>codehaus-snapshots</key>
    <handleReleases>true</handleReleases>
    <handleSnapshots>false</handleSnapshots>
    <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</url>
</remoteRepository>

But that is not valid syntax for the pom file (I think it's the format you would use for an Ant task). I think this is what needs to be put in the pom file:

<repository>
    <id>codehaus-snapshots</id>
    <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</url>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
</repository>

I tried this and it brought in the btm-1.3-RC2.jar as I hoped:

Downloading: http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/org/codehaus/btm/btm/1.3-RC2/btm-1.3-RC2.jar

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what the instructions were trying to tell me? :)

Honestly I never tried the instructions I documented as I'm not using maven 2 personally. I think I got that somewhere online, probably it was unrelated or outdated documentation.

I've changed the documentation to the syntax you proposed as this worked for you.

Thanks for the report.

Ludovic,

In the updated Maven 2 instructions, both slf4j artifacts in the examples are slf4j-log4j12.  I think you meant for the first one to be:

<artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>

And thank you, I think the extra example helps!

You're right, that now fixed.

Thanks,
