I have a Netbeans Ant project that uses a Jar file generated from a Netbeans Maven project. I would like to "include" the Maven project directly in the Ant project to be able to proper debug both projects. The Maven project was converted from an Ant project and before the conversion this include was possible. I have control over both projects, but converting the Ant project to a Maven project is not really an option at this point. What is the best approach to make an Ant based project and a Maven based project "work" together i Netbeans?
Thanks
it should work if your ant project includes the maven local repository jar as dependency. Maven support does automatic binary->open project source conversion for local repo artifacts.

I can't understand Gradle and Maven in Eclipse. I know that Gradle, Maven is a build automation system.
In Android Studio it uses Gradle and I can see the files to configure them.
But I can't find them in Eclipse? Does Eclipse use Maven or Gradle? Where can I confige it.
There are Maven and Gradle plugins in Eclipse, which usually come preinstalled. You can generate Maven or Gradle projects in your workspace.
I know how to add maven dependencies in eclipse. But I am looking for organizing them.
After issuing
eclipse:eclipse
and importing the project in the eclipse, all the dependency library appears.
Now from what i have experience all the dependent jar were all under the "Maven Dependencies". But i see all the jar are loose - just under the project name.
Basically what i am interested is from
to this :
Rather than using mvn eclipse:eclipse and importing as existing project, got to
File-> Import-> Maven-> Existing Maven Projects
and select your project from there. If you do it that way, your maven dependencies should come up under Maven Dependencies section.
I have setup a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse using Maven. The Web Project has a lot of dependencies to other JARs. The JARs are properly added to the WEB-INF/lib folder in Maven/Eclipse. Many of the JARs though are results of other plain Java projects. I want to have the JARs represented by their resepective Java projects in Eclipse from time to time (but not for all of them).
So how do I quickly replace a normal Maven Dependency JAR by its Eclipse project?
Currently I:
Remove the Maven Dependency (Right click on the JAR, Maven -> Exlude Maven Artifact)
Edit the Build path and add the corresponding Eclipse project
Mark the project also in the "Export and Order" section of the Build path
Edit the Deployment Assembly properties and add the Eclipse project there as well (so it goes into WEB-INF/lib at runtime).
If your web projects is a maven project (little "m" in the upper left corner) and you have installed the M2E-WTP plugin (included in the Keplar JavaEE package), this will happen automatically, i.e. when the dependent project is open in the workspace, it will be a project link, if it is closed, your web project will use the jar file as dependency.
If you are using M2Eclipse, I gess you should enable Workspace resolution.
Both projects should be maven projects.
If you're using mvn eclipse plugin, make sure, they both have a pom.xml and call :
mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse
When I use Maven compile, it will automatically download the depended java packages for me. Now, to debug the project, I import the project into Eclipse, but in Eclipse, the depended package is still missing. How can I get the packages? Or, can Eclipse use packages downloaded by Maven?
You don't really need to manually add all the dependencies downloaded by maven to the classpath in Eclipse. There is a maven-2-eclipse plugin which integrates maven with Eclipse. Using that plugin you can
import/create a project as Maven project or
convert an existing project into a maven project
Your Eclipse will automatically add all the downloaded dependencies on the class path everytime.
An alternative to the m2e eclipse maven plugin suggested by rocketboy is to use the maven eclipse plugin. This works from the command line (mvn eclipse:eclipse), and generates Eclipse settings for your project by downloading dependencies and putting them onto the Eclipse build path.
I have the project in eclipse with static folder (lib). This folder contains a lot of libraries, also build process of this project based on the maven. Can I automate import(using eclipse maven plugin) all libraries for lib folder to the maven dependencies or I should do it manually?
Thanks.

To strictly answer your question, there is no automated tool, although you could maybe script something in the spirit of Finding the right version of the right JAR in a maven repository.
And see Maven, how to add additional libs not available in repo for the various possibilities to deal with your JARs.
