Thank you Neil and Eric, for your considerations. It is great to hear that there can be Maven artifacts for 12.0u1!
For the 12.0u1 I would choose the simplest solution: e.g. release everything as RELEASE120u1 Once I wrote an essay (but I cannot find it anymore) why to use per release versioning (e.g. everything as RELEASExy in our case) and why to use individual per module versions. It all depends whether you want to simplify "use" or "re-use". Do you expect that people are going to consume the whole set of JAR files at once (that is a "use") or will they pick individual modules up as cherries (that's "re-use")? The NetBeans module runtime versioning prefers "re-use", while the Maven packaging simplifies "use". I can imagine we could have both. E.g. upload each module under RELEASExy as well as its real "OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version". Then updates could just upload new "OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version" JARs as our NBMs do. Such system would remain compatible and it would increase flexibility for those who only need to pick few bugfixes up there and there. Using "OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version" primarily and group the release artifacts by one or more BOMs is an interesting idea. That would probably balance "use" and "re-use" quite fine. It is however likely to be incompatible with the current tooling support in the IDE - e.g. we have to expect things will be broken for a while. Thanks for thinking about the Maven artifact packaging! -jt po 13. 7. 2020 v 15:02 odesílatel Neil C Smith <[email protected]> napsal: > On Mon, 13 Jul 2020 at 13:38, Eric Barboni <[email protected]> wrote: > > Bom pom with dependencymanagement section would be an addition to > clusters. > > Clusters have actual dependencies in them. > > Yes, I know.
