Update on this: After talking to the gump guys, the solution was to check in wiser and subethasmtp into email's svn and have gump reference those prebuilt jars as dependencies. This way is a good compromise between commons-email's needs and gump's. If for some reason subethasmtp and wiser become dependencies of another project, I'll do all the effort to get them checked out and building every night; in the meantime, this will work fine.
Sorry for upsetting the apple cart in the first place :) --Ben On 6/15/07, Ben Speakmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
argh, what a can of worms I have opened :) It seems like using maven 2 in the gump descriptor is unsupported and sort of defeats the purpose, so I don't think that's a good idea. It does strike me a little silly to make metadata for a testing library, but it's not some onerous task that will block me for weeks. And it'll be a decent learning experience. I'll email the gump devs for some help; I think I can set up the descriptor myself, but I bet retroweaver is going to cause some grief.
