you'll need to start googling problem own your own now.

Sir....i jus want to understand if maven is of some use to me :[Real world situation sir]


i have free style project[No maven] yet.
Am suppose to run project via bat file[For jenkins integration]

Faced issues where during build of this project: in eclipse it BUild: success
But via cmd prompt Build-Failed with manyn errors.....

Now i want to make sure build does not fail via command prompt..before i checkin to this jenkkins specific folder in svn[svn-jenkin plugin will take it]

i want to build once via command prompt...[ or like in cmd prompt.....]
Query: can i convert my free style project -->maven project-----> build ->do dry run------->[b:2atqil2o]get the project back to freestyle...?[/b:2atqil2o][@ work no maven project used yet]


Am not sure sir.... if am thinking right.....or this serves my issue of achieveing build-success via cmd prompt before svn checkin...
Pls suggest.....
