Yep, the artifact-alias entries only work if they are compiled into the CAR....
Since this is a beta release targeted to users wanting to enhance existing apps or create new ones that use JPA 2.0, then I don't see the lack of being able to install existing plugins built against 2.1.2 or earlier servers (such as the 2.1.2 Samples) as veto worthy. But, if anyone has to use the 2.1.2 Samples with JPA2, then they can grab the updated snapshot builds of the plugins that use the latest OpenJPA snapshots, which has the 2.1.2 alias entries compiled in. -Donald ________________________________ From: Joe Bohn <joe.b...@earthlink.net> To: dev@geronimo.apache.org Sent: Wed, February 17, 2010 9:23:51 AM Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release OpenJPA-2.0.0-beta plugins for Geronimo 2.1.3 - 2.1.5 servers - RC3 Thanks for pulling this together Donald. I deployed this plugin into a 2.1.4 server image and attempted to install some of the Geronimo samples (last released for Geronimo 2.1.2). The deployment of the samples failed because of a missing dependency on the openjpa 2.1.2 car. It seems that you included aliases mapping to the new car for openjpa 2.1.3 through 2.1.5-SNAPSHOT ... but for some reason didn't include one for 2.1.2. This is unfortunate because the only released samples we have for 2.1.* have 2.1.2 dependencies and as a result the sample 2.1.2 plugins cannot be installed in a 2.1.* image after upgrading to openjpa2. Would it be possible to spin a new image that includes the 2.1.2 alias entries?
