It's very useful. Those two methods demonstrate execution vs non- 
execution operations where the we need to make sure that the  
environment and settings are the same. For example just trying to  
read the project with dependencies, which is used to update POMs  
while users are adding dependencies to projects, must use the same  
proxy settings, profiles, and everything else that might be used for  
a project. This is also why we use the index for many purely  
dependency related options because it gives the pure view of the  
dependencies. But the user is definitely interested in the result as  
it applies to what they have set for their projects. At any rate that  
parameter is required, which we have discovered over time, to make  
sure these operations are consistent. Every method in the embedder  
will employ this method to guarantee this consistency.


Maybe what you need doesn't really require the embedder.


Same to return MavenExecutionResult, there's no project or reactor,


Maybe we're not looking at the same code, there is the project and  
reactor manager. Are you looking at trunk?

No.

- the result should be a result of some sort container a Set, you
have to trap exceptions and return a result for useful embedding
- it should follow the conventions of the other methods i.e. using a
MavenExecutionRequest
- the method should be more clear. "retrieveAvailableVersions" of
what it makes me ask, and
- no exposing internal exceptions

So, you should have something like

MavenExecutionResult getArtifactVersions( Artifact artifact,
MavenExecutionRequest request ) throws
 MavenEmbedderException

Look at the readProjectWithDependencies as an example but using the
request makes sure a consistent setup is used for all the method
calls with the embedder. This has allowed us to achieve consistency
between querying and execution so any methods added need to follow
the same pattern.

So we may need to look at a different result type, you can't just
return the data because anything could go wrong during the lookup and
you have to provide information for clients to respond.

That's the rough guide, when you have something in your branch I will
take a look. We can't just jam methods into the embedder. The
ExecutionRequest is mandatory is method calls and a result of some
form. This coincides with what I'm going to be adding so that a
client can query the lifecycle and I will need a new type of result
there too. So hack away and I'll help you sync up.

interface already needs to slim down and I'm adamant about not

If you want up-to-date snapshots then that's a different story but I
can't see the vast majority of people doing production development
work being interested in that.

If you want snapshot support then it would have to be dynamic as the
index is only updated on a daily basis.

This should be abstracted anyway because in the future I think

Re: [embedder] Retrieving available versions of an artifact

2007-04-05 Thread Carlos Sanchez

I need it the same way the cli would do it, for version ranges,
snapshots,... I need the metadatasource

It is already abstracted in ArtifactMetadataSource interface, so if
you want to add the index as another source right now you'd just need
to make a new implementation.

If this is for releases which is probably what the you want there are

If you want up-to-date snapshots then that's a different story but I
can't see the vast majority of people doing production development
work being interested in that.

If you want snapshot support then it would have to be dynamic as the
index is only updated on a daily basis.

This should be abstracted anyway because in the future I think
leveraging the tiny index that can be pulled down locally would
provide an artifact resolution mechanism that is far more reliable
and an order of magnitude faster.

If this is for releases which is probably what the you want there are  
no inconsistencies and the index is actually far more reliable.


If you want up-to-date snapshots then that's a different story but I  
can't see the vast majority of people doing production development  
work being interested in that.


If you want snapshot support then it would have to be dynamic as the  
index is only updated on a daily basis.


This should be abstracted anyway because in the future I think  
leveraging the tiny index that can be pulled down locally would  
provide an artifact resolution mechanism that is far more reliable  
and an order of magnitude faster.

What's the full use case?

  People typically use the search with the index to find all the
available versions to, say, select a specific version of commons-
logging. This is for the IDE and is specific to that environment.

The indexing API will be exposed in a package at Mevenide and not in
the embedder, but that is the way users have generally been seeing
all versions and that's how users interact with the artifact
selection process. It's far easier using the index which is 300k
zipped for the entire repository.

I need this to get a list of versions available for an artifact. I
want to do it the same way maven does to avoid inconsistencies, so the
index is not an option.

[embedder] Retrieving available versions of an artifact

2007-04-02 Thread Carlos Sanchez

I haven't found a direct way to retrieve the ArtifactMetadataSource
instance to retrieve the list of available versions in the repository,
I have to explicitly look it up in the plexus container.

Did I miss something? if not it would be useful to expose the
ArtifactMetadataSource or add a getAvailableVersions method to the
embedder


   public List getAvailableVersions(Artifact
artifact, List remoteRepositories,
ArtifactRepository localRepository)
{

ArtifactMetadataSource artifactMetadataSource =
(ArtifactMetadataSource) mavenEmbedder.getPlexusContainer().lookup(
   ArtifactMetadataSource.ROLE);

   return
artifactMetadataSource.retrieveAvailableVersions(artifact,
localRepository, remoteRepositories);
}
