Re: Suggestions for pom.xml?

[Felix Meschberger]

Hi Tim,

This might be somewhat out of topic for this list ...

Anyway, here is, what I usually do - though I do not know whether this
is actually "best practices": For the groupId I use a company-internal
structuring which is adapted to the project hierarchy. For the
artifactId I use short "words" like "commons-logging".

For this special use case of bundling existing third party libraries,
I create a bundle for each library inlining the classes but excluding
all dependencies. As artifactId I use the artifactId of the original
library project.

Generally, I started using project hierarchies to combine common definitions.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Felix

I've written a pom.xml file that bundles commons-logging and all of its
dependencies into a Felix bundle (see below).  I'm about to start
bundling other library-type jar files that I'll need so I'm looking for
any comments/critiques.

I'm still quite the newbie with Felix (and Maven) so I have a few questions.
- I'm still fuzzy on what exact values I should use for groupId and
artifactId.
- Am I doing this the hard (or wrong) way?
- Is there a way to automate this?
- Am I missing anything in my "bundling"?
- Are there any "best practices" issues that I should be aware of?

Thanks,
