3.3. Maven Configuration File
To use Apache Maven for building and managing your JBoss BRMS and JBoss BPM Suite projects, you need to configure your projects to be built with Maven. To do so, Maven provides the Project Object Model or a
pom.xml file that holds configuration details for your project.
The
pom.xml is an XML file that contains information about the project (such as project name, version, description, developers, mailing list, and license), and build details (such as dependencies, location of the source, test, target directories, and plug-ins, repositories).
When you generate a project in Maven, it automatically generates the
pom.xml file. You can edit this file to add more dependencies and new repositories. Maven downloads all the jar files and the dependent jar files from the Maven repository when you compile and package your project.
The schema for the
pom.xml file can be found at http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd.
For more information about POM files, see Apache Maven Project POM Reference.
