Wicket Phone Book and Maven 2

Published by Chris Johnston on January 21, 2008 under Application Development, Java, Java Frameworks, Web Development, Wicket

This evening I tried to download and setup the wicket-phonebook example in Eclipse. The application uses Maven2, something I have not had a lot of experience working with. In the root directory of wicket-phonebook, there is a script called Eclipse.sh which configures everything as an Eclipse project. It also downloads into the Maven2 repository almost all the dependencies.

However, there are two steps that are not done:

  1. Set up the M2_REPO environment variable in Eclipse
  2. Download and install JTA

For the first, I found the following command:

mvn -Declipse.workspace=
 eclipse:add-maven-repo

And for the second problem, I found the answer on JUGPadova website. In short, the problem has to do with Sun’s licensing of some of their J2EE jar files. Once I downloaded the JTA.1.0.1B.jar file, the following command put it in place and took care of all remaining errors in my Eclipse project.

mvn install:install-file \
  -Dfile=./jta-1_0_1B-classes.zip \
  -DgroupId=javax.transaction \
  -DartifactId=jta -Dversion=1.0.1B \
  -Dpackaging=jar
