How to set up a JPA project to use Maven? [message #534374]

Hi,

I am looking for advice on how to set up an EJB/JPA project in Eclipse that uses Maven. I have Galileo with m2eclipse and WTP installed.

This is my first EJB3 project, so there's lots of learning happening.

I looked for a Maven archetype, but the only ones I could find were for JBoss/Hibernate and I am using Glassfish.

I created a new simple Maven project and then added these facets to it:

EJB Module 2.1
Java 6.0
Java Persistence 1.0

I was then able to use the JPA Tools to autogenerate entity classes from database tables. So I now have a project with this structure:

EJBProject\EJBProject
EJBProject\.classpath
EJBProject\.project
EJBProject\.settings
EJBProject\pom.xml

EJBProject\ejbModule
EJBProject\ejbModule\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
EJBProject\ejbModule\META-INF\orm.xml
EJBProject\ejbModule\META-INF\persistence.xml
{deleted the ejb-jar.xml file}

EJBProject\src\main\java\my\project\Table1.java
EJBProject\src\main\java\my\project\Table2.java
EJBProject\src\main\java\my\project\Table3.java

EJBProject\src\main\resources

EJBProject\src\test\java
EJBProject\src\test\resources

EJBProject\target\classes
EJBProject\target\test-classes

I'm not sure what to with this project now to manage it with Maven. I came across this blog post:

http://famvdploeg.com/blog/2008/08/building-ejb3-application s-with-maven-2/

which created its project structure from scratch/manually. Would the "ejbModule" directory that Eclipse created be equivalent to the "ejb-jar" directory in the blog? Do I need to create "ear" and "war" directories (and respective pom files)?

Any direction in how to set up my project (directory structure and pom files) is greatly appreciated.

You can take a look at the multi-javaee5-archetype at http://code.google.com/p/open-archetypes/ (screencast available at http://code.google.com/p/open-archetypes/wiki/M2EclipseDemo) and then add JPA support to the generated ejb project

Hi,

I added the Open Archetypes Snapshot remote catalog to my Maven Archetypes, but when I tried to create a project based on the
mulit-javaee5-archetype, I get the message:

Failed to create project.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm using the 0.10.0.201000209-0800 version of m2eclsipse.
