Jody, I have 10 jar files containing various suites of application schemas (at this time mostly GeoSciML 2.0 and dependencies) that I would like to have available at GeoTools test time. These are as-published schemas, packaged in an implementation-neutral structure. I'd like to upload them onto the osgeo maven repo, but I thought I'd better ask first.
GeoTools unit tests are supposed to use only data available offline; the idea is that my new app-schema-resolver is smart enough to pick these up off the classpath if they are present. This is much, much, *much* better than the current anti-pattern of storing extended families of schemas in GeoTools svn, and will allow us to readily upgrade our unit tests, and avoid obsolete cruft in svn. We'll keep the cruft in maven repos, where it belongs. ;-) The benefits are: (1) Dependency management for schemas. (2) Assurance that schemas are the published version, not locally modified copies. I am not aware of anyone else bundling schemas in maven artifacts in this manner (other than those shipped with GeoTools, which have often been modified), so I have used the publishers' host-names-reversed for the artifacts. I have identified myself as the packager in the poms. Artifact naming is guided by XML namespaces, to permit coexistence. Any objections? The pom files for these artifacts record the dependencies between them. Here is a snippet of the dependency:tree from a module using org.geosciml:geosciml-2.0:jar:2.0.2-1 in its test phase.
