This must be mostly a newbie Maven question.
Since SwingX migrated to Kenai, there are warnings all over the website that many links are broken.. so here is my best attempt.
- I went to https://java.net/projects/swingx/downloads/directory/releases
- Clicked on "SwingX 1.6.4 All - Sources" (really a non-intuitive, hit-or-miss choice for me, but perhaps it's a naming convention other people understand?)
- This downloads swingx-all-1.6.4-sources.jar (why is it even a jar and not a zip?)
However, this source jar does not contain POM.XML.
So, I downloaded swingx-all-1.6.4.jar from the same link, renamed it to .zip, inflated. It does contain
META-INF\maven\org.swinglabs.swingx\swingx-all\POM.XML:

When I change to the above directory where POM.XML is located and do mvn install, it certainly builds a lot of stuff.. but also says:
[INFO] skip non existing resourceDirectory
F:\swingx\swingx-all-1.6.4\META-INF\m
Maven\org.swinglabs.swingx\swingx-all\src\main\resources
That's because the src directory is nonexistent. Which makes sense, because the .jar files in question is said to be binaries only, but I was hoping some Maven target would download sources or something... and if it's binary only, why does it need to be built? Confused.
At that point, I could probably either copy the src directory from the first zip file to the second, or copy the pom.xml from the second file to the first.. but I am having a feeling I am missing something, and there has to be a more straightforward way.
BTW, there is a third file at the same web page, swingx-mavensupport-1.6.4.jar
So I downloaded that, renamed it to .zip, inflated, found this file:
META-INF\maven\org.swinglabs.swingx\swingx-mavensupport\POM.XML:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>swingx-project</artifactId>
<groupId>org.swinglabs.swingx</groupId>
<version>1.6.4</version>
<relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
<artifactId>swingx-mavensupport</artifactId>
<name>SwingX Maven Support</name>
</project>
Changed to its directory and ran mvn.install
However, that complained at the lack of a whole lot of files.
I must be getting it all wrong. What's the right way?
