Hi Brian, Good to hear from you! I believe these jars were posted several years ago by Chris Sterling as part of the Maven Jini Plugin: https://maven-jini-plugin.dev.java.net/ At the time things were different in both the Maven and Jini worlds--a little more free-for-all in posting artifacts to Maven and no one in the Jini world thinking too much about Maven. I think it would be better for Apache River to manage its own artifacts now (and I don't think Chris plans to maintain the plugin).
I posted a Jira issue for exactly this issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-317 and as a result someone posted the poms I provided to svn but no process was put into place to apply those poms to the artifacts and deploy them to the Central Repository. I was going to raise the issue again after the current vote completed. Meanwhile, Dennis Reedy had some very reasonable comments about the poms I posted. A little more discussion is probably warranted prior to releasing the artifacts as Maven artifacts. Dennis has some experience now with using Jini jars and Maven with the latest Rio builds. Perhaps he'll reiterate his suggestions to the list? I'd be glad to help out but we'll need someone on the inside to assist in getting things deployed once we work out the pom details. By the way, mvnrepository.com is an ad site that scrapes the real Maven Central Repository. Helpful for searches, perhaps, but not definitive. The real repo is at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ and can be searched via http://repository.sonatype.org. Finally, the service jars (reggie, outrigger, etc.) are under the services dir (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/river/jtsk/trunk/poms/services/) but that's an interesting point about jini-core and jini-ext. Are these still artifacts of the build? -jeff On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 2:31 PM, Brian Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > It appears that someone has uploaded a number of > the River jar & zip files as artifacts to the mvnRepository > site (http://mvnrepository.com/search.html?query=jsk-platform). > That is, > > jsk-platform.jar, jsk-lib.jar, jsk-resources.jar > jini-core.jar, jini-ext.jar, > jini-starterkit.zip, jini-start-examples.zip > > Thanks to that person/people, by the way. > > Although poms corresponding to each of the jar files > that are produced by a river build were created and > checked in to the river repository > (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/river/jtsk/trunk/poms), > it appears that many of the other jar files from the > build were not uploaded.
