How to use andengine with maven?

Question

I downloaded the source using

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/andengine/ andengine 

And I would like to know that the next step is to use andengine with maven.

Answer 1

You must first create andengine to create a jar file that will be used as a dependency in your project. It seems that andengine uses ant to create a project for it to work. (You could also put andengine in your own maven module, use maven's ant mojos to complete the build and put the jar in the local repository. But there will be a new version that could turn into a migration job, I would separate this task from an andegin and yours project).

From there, you can use the groupId / artifactId parameter that you selected above (to save .jar in a local repo if your project does not have a repository proxy).

Answer 2

You get AndEngine from the wrong place, the project now lives on GitHub: https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine The Google Code repository is now probably very old and buggy!

Having received it from GitHub, see this thread .
