Wouldn't the simplest solution be to do what I've seen other projects do and just implement some wrapper around Aether ( http://www.eclipse.org/aether/)? I know that Leiningen's 2.x version that they are working towards is using it, and it simplified their API quite a bit in resolving dependencies, handling multiple maven repositories, etc., without forcing them to adopt the entirety of Maven's settings.xml and other configs.
I think the point Kristian's making is that Rubygems shouldn't care about Maven deps, their layout, and Maven-related issues such as pom-only dependencies, transitive dependencies, SNAPSHOT versioning, etc., yet Maven shouldn't have to care about Ruby's idiosyncracies along the same lines, either. I think the crux of this issue is finding out how much one side will end up treading on the other to get the job done, and if there's a clean way to keep them separate. -Nick Klauer On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 07:20, Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas <rr.ro...@gmail.com>wrote: > It was a bit confusing to me too, but I guess he is saying that you > shouldn't try to convert each maven artifact to a gem and let RubyGems > manage the dependencies instead of Maven. > > Honestly I don't know what is the advantage of this approach.
