Roo & Maven

[avspring]

Dear ,

Does Working of Roo require Maven in Online Mode ie net connectivity or just installaton of Maven is enough. How does it work(Roo & Maven) in STS ? does STS include Maven?

Thanks in advance
Abe

Abe,

Maven commands can be used with the -o flag which indicates that it will be used offline. This will however only work after you have run the maven command at least once in online mode beforehand so your local repository contains all necessary artifacts which are used by Roo.

STS ships with the m2eclipse plugin which offers the same functionality as the standard maven shell install.

HTH,
Stefan
