Maven eXist plugin

>
> Hi,
>
> I wonder if there is need for an eXist maven plugin todo database  
> operations
> from the build process. As such I wrote it (I needed it) and am  
> willing to
> share it. It runs under maven-2.0.9 and java-6 and is capable of doing
> create,delete operations. The plugin can be extended to support Xquery
> operations (so that update scripts can be written as well), but  
> thats for
> later...
>
> Oh, not unimportant, the plugin makes use of the xml-rpc protocol  
> and is
> intended for interaction with standalone installations of eXist.

> Hi Erik,

> The plugin does exactly that, populate the database with data, or,  
> if you
> like, delete data from it. All you need to do is to specify the  
> location
> (URL) of a running instance and activate the maven goal. For  
> example, I am
> using a profile called recreate-database which sets it up. Find the  
> source
> attached, and an snippet example (profile) of how to use it.
