Generally you don't put any repos in a POM; all dependencies are downloaded from the central repo (repo1.maven.org), which is hardcoded in the code. The checksums are just as hardcoded, but instead of in the client scripts, they are in a files in the repo. As someone else mentioned, all of this dependency management is also available in Ivy, but without all of the rest of Maven. The dependency management bits of Maven might help the Harmony build, but all of the other "conventions" that Maven uses would prevent many other parts of the build; such as running tests on a JRE that you just built. Nothing against Maven, but Harmony's really the edge case that Maven doesn't worry about. > > > > > > > -Nathan > > > > On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 5:12 AM, Tharindu Mathew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > I'm also not familiar with Ivy. > > > > > > I suggested maven because of the dependency management.
