About Maven,
I tried to mavenize the xmldb block and I can't get it to build
because some POMs cannot be fetched. Can someone go into
cocoon-xmldb and try to build?
Also, I did not import the xmldb samples for now, I'll do it
later when the implementation builds. So there is still a
src/blocks/xmldb. It's half-baked because I had a lot of problems
with Maven:
1) I had to download a snapshot because Maven 2.0.1 does not work
I have no problems with 2.0.1. What specifically doesn't work.
2) I had the error with XSD schema
The cocoon-deployer and cocoon-plugins must be disabled in the top level
POM, if you refer to the problem that have been discussed earlier in
this thread.
3) Many POMs cannot be retrieved I have to restart build 20 times
The Apache local Maven repositories doesn't work that well, and
generates intermitent cannot connect errors, IIRC. The solutions for
this is:
1. Help moving artifacts that we use from the Apache repository to the
much better and mirrored ibiblio repository, see
http://maven.apache.org/project-faq.html.
2. Reduce the use of snapshot POMs. If you start building all of Cocoon
from top level rather than from a specific block, you will use your own
snapshots of the needed block instead of those from the snapshot
repository. Especially if you change the top level POM or several blocks
at once, this might be needed as the snapshot in the repository doesn't
contain your latest changes (not completely sure about what policy maven
has for downloading snapshots from the networked repositories rather
than from your local).
3. Joining the infrastructure group and work for making the snapshot
repository more stable ;)
