Michael Guymon commented on BUILDR-274:
---------------------------------------
The original intent of Naether was to provide dependency resolution for Buildr,
so I am pleased to hear that it is a possible solution.
I like the idea of options that can be determined per project, but the have a
sensible default. I would advocate that the Jarfile.lock (or any way to persist
the results) is good since it allows consistency in the builds. Also, the
dependency resolution can be pokey, so avoiding it on every build would be
worthwhile.
That being said, developing #1 first and then expanding into #2 and #3 sounds
like a good way to get started. I could put something together a proof of
concept as a jumping off point.
One consideration is that Naether is pretty out of date, it uses an older
version of Maven's Aether. It "just works" so I have not had a burning desiring
to upgrade it, but i may be worthwhile to get up to date if this is something
Buildr wants to invest in.
> Support dependency version ranges for transitive dependencies

> It seems that right now dependency version ranges as shown here [1] are not
> supported.
> A version range is e.g. used by ehcache-web ([2]), so that when I use
> transitive('net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-web:jar:1.6.0-beta2')
> buildr fails with this error:
> Failed to download net.sf.ehcache:ehcache:pom:[1.6.0-beta4,], tried the
> following repositories...
> It would be great to have support for version ranges, otherwise some libs
> cannot be used with transitive().
