如何将基于Maven的项目包含到我的非Maven项目中

Question

I have a non-maven app engine project. I need to include the following library/project into it: https://github.com/UltimaPhoenix/luceneappengine . Without using maven at all, how do I make this work? I need step by step details. I have been trying and my code will not even compile. I am using eclipse.

Looking at the pom.xml I have figured that I need to download luceneappengine, which I did at http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cluceneappengine . Do I need any other jars?

Answer 1

First of all, download Maven to be able to build the project. After that, just use "mvn install" to produce the *.jar of luceneappengine (the result will be stored in the "target" folder of the project). However, it will probably need some extra dependencies. To obtain them, use "mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory=$TARGET_DIRECTORY". This command will download all the required jars into the specified $TARGET_DIRECTORY.
