Paolo Castagna commented on HADOOP-6629:
----------------------------------------
There is another place where dependencies and version numbers are "duplicated",
it's .eclipse.templates/.classpath used to "generate" the Eclipse .classpath.
One possibility is to do:
{code}
<target name="eclipse-files" depends="init"
description="Generate files for Eclipse">
<pathconvert property="eclipse.project">
<path path="${basedir}"/>
<regexpmapper from="^.*/([^/]+)$$" to="\1" handledirsep="yes"/>
</pathconvert>
<copy todir="." overwrite="true">
<fileset dir=".eclipse.templates">
<exclude name="**/README.txt"/>
</fileset>
<filterset>
<filter token="PROJECT" value="${eclipse.project}"/>
</filterset>
<filterset begintoken="{" endtoken="}">
<filtersfile file="${ivy.dir}/libraries.properties"/>
</filterset>
</copy>
</target>
{code}
... and have in the .classpath template:
{code}
[...]
<classpathentry kind="lib"
path="build/ivy/lib/Hadoop-Core/common/avro-{avro.version}.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib"
path="build/ivy/lib/Hadoop-Core/common/commons-cli-{commons-cli.version}.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib"
path="build/ivy/lib/Hadoop-Core/common/commons-codec-{commons-codec.version}.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib"
path="build/ivy/lib/Hadoop-Core/common/commons-el-{commons-el.version}.jar"/>
[...]
{code}
I had a few problems with JUnit, Jetty, JSP APIs and Slf4j dependencies.
It seems to me that the libraries.property file, as it is right now, is killing
the benefit of having a dependency engine such as Ivy to transitively resolve
dependencies.
I had not time to replicate Avro's approach to generate Eclipse files, but IMHO
it's better.
By the way, with Maven, once you have your pom.xml file, to generate Eclipse
files you run: mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true.
> versions of dependencies should be specified in a single place

> Currently the Maven POM file is generated from a template file that includes
> the versions of all the libraries we depend on. The versions of these
> libraries are also present in ivy/libraries.properties, so that, when a
> library is updated, it must be updated in two places, which is error-prone.
> We should instead only specify library versions in a single place.
