To whom it may engage...
Leo, Having looked at Gump a couple of times, I am still confused over how it works and basically have no clue.
1. Why doesn't it pick up Maven project descriptors instead, since to me it seems that most is available in that? Does it have to use Ant?Adam Jack and/or Stefan Bodewig will answer this one better than me. O:-)
2. Can you give some pointer which explains the rationale instead of the details, and "how to go about" getting it to work?The aim of gump is to check that a number of projects can build against the head revision of each other,
For instance, in the nag email that is coming, there are references to non-existent directories. Is that a declaration in Avalon Gump descriptors or is part of something else?
in order to avoid a "jar hell" situation.
I sent an email earlier to the list with a patch to a descriptor which should be able to help. On the gump side of
things, we are wondering whether we should not repatriate all the gump project descriptors in the gump
CVS. Even then, we will always need from time to time some cooperation from individual projects.
Particularly when new dependencies are being added to a project, or sometimes to find creative ways
of bridging situations when one of your dependencies has built in an incompatible change in CVS HEAD
(happens unfortunately sometimes), and there is no released version yet that you could check in
in your lib directory reflecting the new API, or ... plenty of special cases I am not thinking about
but could happen.
Now for all practicall purposes, could you try to check in my patch ? :-)
Cheers,Cheers, Niclas
