I have reviewed the previous posts about moving to a Maven model. My question is, how would we go about activating the Application Simulator for debugging purposes from a Mavenized AAOD project?

The same as always switch to the speech perspectice and run the application.

Thanks Ross. However I get alot of errors on the Avaya jars when I attempt to use mvn install on that pom. They likely just need to be registered to the local repo and added via dependency. Can you advise?

package com.avaya.sce.runtime does not exist

Here is what I did,

I created a new project (or use an existing one) Using Eclipse 4.6. I switch to the java perspective. Then select the project, and use the context menu to select Configure -> Convert to Maven Project.

Open the pom.xml and replace

<build>

    <sourceDirectory>WEB-INF/src</sourceDirectory>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

        <version>3.1</version>

        <configuration>

          <source/>

          <target/>

        </configuration>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </build>

with

<build>

		<plugins>

			<plugin>

				<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>

				<version>1.7</version>

				<executions>

					<execution>

						<phase>install</phase>

						<configuration>

							<tasks>

		                       <ant antfile="build.xml" dir="." target="deploy.project.war" />

							</tasks>

						</configuration>

						<goals>

							<goal>run</goal>

						</goals>

					</execution>

				</executions>

			</plugin>

		</plugins>

	</build>

Now switch back to the Speech perspective and export the project and on the "Specify Deployment Parameters" page od the export wizard select "Save build file after exporting the project". This creates the build.xml. No you should be able to run a maven install or (mvn install) and the ant script is invoked and the war built.

I guess I should clarify. I'm looking to use Maven not just for deploying the war file but for compilation and dependency management as well. We are getting to the point where the built in WSOP don't really work for us (custom objects, etc) and it is easier to just use things such as Jersey/Jackson for consuming web services, and likewise much easier to use Maven to manage those dependencies instead of manually downloading JARs adding to classpath, etc.

When I use your method I am able to create an exported war file, but using application simulator does not allow for complete compilation since the required jars are not available.

This is the pom I am currently using, but I believe what needs to happen is that the app simulator needs to trigger the maven build.

Can any one provide Avaya build.xml, while create POM.xml classes folder not getting included. need list of repo to be used to downloans the Avaya dependencies

There's an option within OD to save the generated build.xml file.

You can find this option during the export phase. Ensure that you tick the highlighted check box.

Please also comment on whether you achieve success in porting to Maven as this is something we would like to do as well to ensure our OD projects are in alignment with the rest of our code base.
