RE: Restlet 1.0 RC2 released
Hi Vincent, Could you share this script or the generated POMs on this bug report? http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91 That would help me fix this RFE more quickly.

There isn't any deep documentation covering this important topic yet. But, we are currently working on filling this gap. For now, you can check this related FAQ entry: http://www.restlet.org/faq#15 Also, there is a sample application that was written by Chris Winters (based on beta 18) doing content negotiation with multiple representations on a resource, see: http://wiki.restlet.org Finally, I've illustrated a request processing flow, from the connector to the domain object: http://www.restlet.org/images/application > Anyways, great work, looking forward to trying RC2. Thanks! Let us know how it goes. Best regards, Jerome Louvel
RE: Restlet 1.0 RC2 released
Hi all, Thanks for pushing this issue up again. As there is a strong need to support Maven, I would like to provide a solution for 1.1 and ideally for 1.0 too. Converting the build from Ant to Maven was tried in the past but failed due to the way Eclipse organizes plugins, in a flat structure, preventing the nesting of projects naturally used by Maven. However, the dynamic generation of POM descriptors is definitely something feasible, especially if I get help defining the ideal POM templates. As the distribution contains 16 JARs with dependencies between them and with third-party libraries, that should make 16 POM files. Could those already having private POMs attach them to the RFE report? http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91 Once we get a good set of samples, I'll adjust the Ant build script to generate them dynamically and provide them either via the Web site for each release.

RE: Restlet 1.0 RC2 released
Hi Ryan, I think this was attempted awhile ago, Jerome actually tried to move the entire build process to Maven2 but I don't think it fit well and he ended up reverting back to Ant. I use Maven2 myself, so whenever a new release comes out I just have a series of basic poms that I edit and deploy using a simple script. It's hacky but it works. I'm sure at some point in the future when the dust settles a bit (and 1.0 is finally released) then maybe we can get restlet uploaded to the various Maven2 repositories out there. However, I think it might be worthwhile to post some POMs to the mailing list...even if the project isn't built using Maven2, then maybe the POMs can be included in the source distribution and modified as part of the release process to include the appropriate version numbers. That way the POMs are "standard"...

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention it, but have you considered either switching your build to use Maven 2 or else at least providing Maven 2 friendly jars and POMs? I ask this because I had to generate my own (not very good ones) in our local repository, and now I'm going to have to update again... It might be something to consider for the full 1.0 release, to encourage wider adoption... BTW, are there any pieces of documentation on the representation & resource portions of the library?
