I attempted to create a version compatibility plugin such that plugins
with dependencies on 2.1 artifacts could attempt to be installed in a
2.2-SNAPSHOT server image (mapping 2.1 car artifacts to 2.2-SNAPSHOT car
artifacts). However, thus far I'm not having any success.
The plugin is fairly simple. Just a bunch of entries for artifact
aliases and no other content:
<plugin-artifact>
...
<artifact-alias
key="org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper//car">org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car</artifact-alias>
<artifact-alias
key="org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.1/car">org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car</artifact-alias>
...
I also verified that after installing the compatibility plugin that the
entries are added to the artifact-aliases.properties file in var/config:
...
org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper//car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car
org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.1/car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car
...
Yet, even with these entries, I still get essentially the same error
attempting to install samples created for 2.1 in a 2.2-SNAPSHOT server
as I had without the artifact-alias entries. I showed the jasper
entries above because that is the missing dependency when I attempt to
install the Tomcat JSP example plugin created for 2.1 on 2.2-SNAPSHOT
(see error below). I had similar results on a 2.1.1 server when I
attempted to use a another compatibility plugin mapping 2.1 cars to
2.1.1. Am I missing something obvious?
