Maven setup for Nasa Worldwind 4 Java (WWJ) 1.5.

As WWJ is currently not available in public maven repositories and in general does not provide a maven-managed project setup, I decided to create a maven project skeleton to allow wwj to be included into your local maven repository.

This could also be used as a basis for a migration to Maven (3) by the official WWJ project.

Instructions

No .jar files are included in this project, but the POM consists of a comfortable way of dealing with this situation. You only need to place the worldwind-1.5.0.zip into the root of this project and run mvn clean install.

Insights

Using the maven-antrun-plugin, the worldwind release archive is extracted and all .jar files are copied to a dedicated local library repository (nasa-wwj/lib-repository). Additionally, some natives are downloaded form jogamp mirrors. Check the pom.xml for insights.

Include in your Project

A dependecy would look like:

<dependency>
	<groupId>gov.nasa</groupId>
	<artifactId>wwj</artifactId>
	<version>1.5.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Example pom.xml

This POM can serve as a skeleton for a project. It includes unpacking of native libraries (e.g. jogl and gluegen) and creating executable scripts.
