[Anthill-pro] Maven build - Dependancy Management

[Jason Schatz]

Curtis,

We are currently in the process of writing a tighter integration with
maven that will allow maven to use codestation as its artifact repository.
 When maven
requests an artifact it will first check
for that artifact in codestation and if found return it to maven.
Additionally you will configure Anthill3 with the locations of any existing
Maven Repositories and these will be searched for your artifact if it is not
found
in codestation.  The retrieved artifact will then be cached and optionally
configured as a codestation project before being returned to maven.
In our current system it is best to
allow maven to retrieve your third party dependencies from its own repository.
If you do want
anthill3 to control some of these dependencies it is possible, but
fairly tricky.  What you would need to do is have Anthill3 populate a
dummy repository that maven would then point to when retrieving its
artifacts.  We can definitely point you in the right direction for this, but
we working
very hard to provide you with an optimal solution to this problem.
Let me know if you have any additional thoughts or questions.

Thanks,
Jason
