I just changed all the maven projects into maven category - or at least all 
the ones that I noticed.

Go into admin screen and do a "viewProject" on each project. The top panel has 
category at bottom of list. Just select maven and you be good to go.

I think it is a good throught but ... I think that it may be a beta idea to 
formalize a version-ing standard before you do this. For example one project 
may assume that anything compiled against 1.1  will work in 1.2 (ie minor 
versions represent forward compatible changes). Another project may assume 
that micro versions represent forward compatability (ie 1.1.2 is compatible 
with 1.1.1 or 1.1). 

That would make dependencys very close to JDK "optional packages"/"extensions" 
ala (except for no separation between implementation and specification).

http://spice.sourceforge.net/extension/
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/extensions/versioning.html

Alternatively you could specify version resolution scheme in the dependency 
declaration via something like


  log4j
  log4j
  1.1
  extension

Sounds good. Can you point me at this - I am quite willing to do the work for 
you. I just prefer to tackle this earlier rather than later.

Repository Code

2003-09-24 Thread Peter Donald
Hi,

I would like to use Mavens repository code in a few other applications. To do 
this what I would like to do is separate out the repository, fetching, 
verifying code into a separate component.

I have had a look at the current codebase and what documentation I could find. 
ie

http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactRepository
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/IdGroupIdArtifactId
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactDownloading

What I want to do is essentially grab what you have now and extend it in a few 
wierd and wonderful ways. Essentially what I want to do is enable alternative 
mechanisms for downloading remote artefacts. I also want to extend the 
mechanism via which artefacts are matched so that you can *optionally* 
support things like "request artefact version 1.1 and get reference to 
1.1.1". This may not be used by Maven but is useful in other contexts.

I want it to be extensively unit tested and will most likely develope it using 
TDD for the most part. However I expect that it will regularly be broken as I 
experiment with different techniques and designs. 

So I guess I was wondering how you want to me to do this. I would like maven 
to eventually use this once it stabilizes but in the meantime it is probably 
best it evolves independently. 

Would the best way to do this for me to just build it independently and then 
either donate it to maven at later stage or something?

Moved Issues From Commons-Attributes Jira To Maven Jira

2003-08-25 Thread Peter Donald
Hiya,

I just noticed a whole bunch of Maven issues reported against the 
commons-attributes JIRA project. So I moved them across to Maven. Some of the 
issues are really old and have been fixed so I then closed them. However 
there are others that I dont know about and someone more knowledgable needs 
to go through and sort the good from the bad. Not subscribed to Maven-dev so 
just CC me if anything more needs to be done wrt these issues.

Sounds good. But it may be better to name the attributes more according to 
what they do or else you would need to consult documentation to figure out 
which gets copied where.



or maybe



where :

As that you could also extend this to allow setting of such properties like

I believe it already exists in beta-8 for maven.xml and is supposed to exist 
in beta-9 for proeprties (though I have not tried).

I would also love to see inheritance of build.properties aswell ... ;)
