Maven Configuration

Maven Settings

1. Download the following settings file

2. Copy the file to ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml

3. Replace user and password placeholders in the file with their actual values.

Maven Parent

The gCube Maven parent POM (or super POM) is used to avoid redundancies or duplicate configurations using inheritance between POM files. It helps in easy maintenance in long term.

It is not meant to be distributed because it is only referenced from other projects. Therefore, before working with a gCube project, the parent POM must be installed in the local Maven repository as follows:

 > git clone --depth 1 https://code-repo.d4science.org/gCubeSystem/maven-parent.git
 > cd maven-parent
 > mvn install
