Re: endorsing: ToolChain thing or compiler/surefire plugin thing or ....
Yes, then it is probably appropriate for the Maven Compiler plugin to support endorsed libraries. I can't remember if it always forks, but if forking isn't specified, an error should be thrown when endorsed libraries are used.

Re: endorsing: ToolChain thing or compiler/surefire plugin thing or ....
Just to follow up on this, it looks like the two main options are: 1) Add an "endorsed" scope. What would be involved with that? What would happen when a 2.0.10/2.2.1 maven version hits such a scope?This seems to be a "maven core" thing with updates needed to a bunch of core things. Not a BAD thing, especially for 3.0 or something, but increases the complexity. 2) maven-endorsed-plugin - similar to the toolchains thing, but provides special endorsing capabilities. Would be done in parts. The plugin plus updates to surefire and compiler (and others that may need it). (2) can definitely be made to work with existing versions of maven, but (1) definitely seems "cleaner". (1) would also allow endorsements to be handled from transitive deps, although I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. :-) Anyway, what are peoples thoughts? I think after thanksgiving, I may need to start working on bits of this so I'd like to get peoples thoughts and ideas before then.

Re: endorsing: ToolChain thing or compiler/surefire plugin thing or ....
I've done something for the javaee6 archetypes at mojo. I suppose you are talking the same problem. Only compilation now, not surefire. It's a solution within current constraints only. When leaving these behind, I would go for endorsed scope. http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/mojo-archetypes/webapp-javaee6/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/pom.xml Milos On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 10:55 PM, Daniel Kulp wrote: > > While at ApacheCon last week, I talked to Jarek Gawor a bit and then > followed > up with a quick conversation with Brett about a problem that is soon going > to > hit CXF/Axis2/Geronimo. > > Basically, we're going to need a mechanism to easily "endorse" a few api > jars > when we call javac and when surefire runs.

Re: endorsing: ToolChain thing or compiler/surefire plugin thing or ....
9) use a new plugin (let's call it maven-java-plugin) to give us namespacing in the pom. you'd add the plugin to the API pom and its configuration section would annotate the pom with information about what jdk versions the dependency is provided in, what versions it shod be endorsed in, what minimum java version it depends on, etc we'd then provide a component to parse the info for a set of dependencies against a specific toolchain to give, eg endorsed config, filter out unnecessary deps, etc. this would also let us decide on what extended info is needed in pom 5.0.0 Sent from my [rhymes with tryPod] ;-) On 9 Nov 2009, at 22:58, Stephen Connolly > wrote: 2009/11/9 Daniel Kulp : While at ApacheCon last week, I talked to Jarek Gawor a bit and then followed up with a quick conversation with Brett about a problem that is soon going to hit CXF/Axis2/Geronimo.

endorsing: ToolChain thing or compiler/surefire plugin thing or ....
While at ApacheCon last week, I talked to Jarek Gawor a bit and then followed up with a quick conversation with Brett about a problem that is soon going to hit CXF/Axis2/Geronimo. Basically, we're going to need a mechanism to easily "endorse" a few api jars when we call javac and when surefire runs. I'm ok with limiting the endorsing to when those plugins are in their "fork" mode. There are a few options that could be pursued: 1) Require all developers to drop some jars in jre/lib/endorsed. That really sucks. Not exactly viable, IMO. 2) Require all devs to copy the jars someplace and add -Djava.endorsed.dirs=.. to their MAVEN_OPTS.Also sucks. 3) In all modules, configure dependency:copy to copy the artifacts into a dir in target, then add the -D thing as system flags for compiler plugin and surefire.
