如何在Maven应用程序中包含非Maven Netbeans模块？

Question

I found the opposite version of this question here: How to include maven-based project into my non-maven project but didn't give me any light on the issue.

I know the long road to do this:

1. Mavenize the module in question.
2. Add as a dependency.

But this only works if:

1. You have access to the source of the original module.
2. The project is well structured as this would complicate mavenizitation.

All this seems unnecessary, there should be a better way. Any idea?

Answer 1

if you have an ant-based module you want to consume in your maven based platform, you will need these artifacts.

• module .jar file
• module's .nbm file

without these, you are out of luck.

If you have them, create a basic pom file, invent the Maven GAV for the module and use mvn install:install-file or mvn deploy:deploy file to upload the pom, jar and nbm file to a place where it can be consumed by the maven build.
