Hi Joakim,

Note, Archiva couldn't use the DependencyTree component, as it made
assumptions about repository access, availability, search order, and
layout that simply were not true. (actually, this is a problem mostly in
maven/components, but it still affected Archiva).
So, we wrote our own dependency graph / tree routines. It's more
flexible, more reliable, faster, uses less memory, and more accurate
than the ones in maven components (and the shared dependency tree
component too). I even utilized a local version of select classes from
plexus-graph (that Jason wants to eventually use for dependency management).
Check it out: archiva-dependency-graph

Ah thanks, I wasn't aware of that - I had assumed archiva used
dependency-tree, although I haven't got around to looking at archiva
yet. That certainly looks like the kind of code I was heading towards
- I'll have a proper look and get back to you. I'm just wondering how
it could be more accurate than the resolution process that Maven core
uses itself?
I welcome you to look at it as a potential PoC for dependency handling
in maven 2.1.
It needs better non-javadoc documentation, but that'll come.
Cool. Jason was talking about committing some artifact resolution
code this weekend, so hopefully we can start to converge these efforts
towards 2.1.
BTW. I wrote a VersionComparator that uses logic version sorting too in
Archiva. I didn't realize it was a tough thing to do, until I read
Kenney's email about versioning
<http://www.nabble.com/versioning-tf2842865s177.html#a7938087>.
Check it out: VersionComparator.java
<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/archiva/trunk/archiva-base/archiva-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archiva/common/utils/VersionComparator.java>
Nice, I'd definitely like to see Kenney's versioning become the default.
Cheers,
Mark
