RE: Retrieving latest version of JAR?
SNAPSHOT But this assumes that SNAPSHOT is the latest one built - it needs to be part of your development process. There is currently no other metadata attached to artifacts.

Re: Cannot get tlds to work from repository.
Ok, for others, I finally figured this out. You cannot have both a tld and a jar with the same artifactId and groupId. When I did it only picked up the jar. When I changed the artifactId to be unique, it picked up both. Brian N.

Re: new idea on maven usage?
I will update the runtime builder to use the maven wagon code when that code is more mature. When that is done a runtime will include a set of jars and poms. If a jar is missing it will be downloaded automaticaly by the wagon code. The repository selection will also improve much with the wagon code too, so many different schemes for dependency downloading can be implemented. Downloading new artifact is another issue because it would be hard to say which versjon a application can be run with. With this scenario it might actually be possible to only send the pom to the client and have a special runtime that downloads the dependencies. But, these types of applications will not be ready untill maven 2.0 is released. After that you will see all cinds of application types using maven pop up all over the place :) -- Trygvis On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 13:00:32 +0100, Christian Andersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: well that is one possibility, but that system (building an installation set which have everything) does not take advantage of the fact that I might already have some "libraries" (jar files) installed/downloaded This is where maven comes in, since if I start te application from maven, maven will look in the "local" repository first for the files, if they are not there it will download them, so If a person already has some jar files (ofr the correct version) he does not have to download them and therfore saving perheps precious network bandwidth and time.

Re: question re. signature plugin
I'm going to forward this to the maven list as well so other know the details. The signature plugin I was working on earlier in the week is based on the BouncyCastle OpenPGP api. I'm since convinced that there are allot of headaches in this approach. 1.) Gpg stores its private/public keys in a separate file format than most of these OpenPGP java implementations use them. If most people are using/generating their keys in GPG this is a usability issue that creates headaches for them. 2.) Cross Verifying signatures between Gpg, BouncyCastle and Cryptix was very disturbing, depending on the algorithm used to generate the key there was allot of failure. So, at this point I've come to the conclusion that these OpenPgp java packages are a little too bleeding edge for this. I've settled on calling Gpg directly using ant exec tasks for the time being. maven.gpg.exec=/usr/bin/gpg called by %maven gpg:sign -Dfile="foo.jar" called by %maven gpg:verify -Dsignature="foo.jar.gpg" -Dfile="foo.jar" ultimately a very trivial wrapper can be written that accepts any gpg argument: called by %maven gpg:exec -Darg="-sb foo.jar" called by %maven gpg:exec -Darg="--verify foo.jar.gpg foo.jar" This will allow the user to work with gpg on windows or *nix and by configuring these parameters in maven, set it up to work on their system. They use the same commands to exec gpg through maven/ant as on the command line. Not very brilliant, but I guess it really doesn't need to be. I'll be authoring up a plugin that will have this stuff in it, but for now, you could just drop the above into your maven.xml/build.properties. -Mark Stephen McConnell wrote: Hi Mark: I finally have gpg installed on my windows box and able to sign jars - and now I want to tie this into the build process I'm using for the Merlin project.

[2nd edition] MAVEN dependencies' mechanism
If I did not miss-understand the maven dependencies' mechanism in
project.xml :
With
DEPEND
1.0
http://address/plugin/
Maven will first try to download "http://address/plugin/DEPEND/jars/DEPEND
-1.0.jar" under $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL/repository/DEPEND/jars/DEPEND-1.0.jar
It should be understand as an unspecified/default repository
attribute.
And with
PLUGIN
1.0
http://address/plugin/
plugin
Maven will first try to download "http://address/plugin/PLUGIN/jars/PLUGIN
-1.0.jar" under $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL/repository/PLUGIN/jars/PLUGIN-1.0.jar and
expand the jar file under $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL/plugins/PLUGIN-1.0
(the mechanism is quite different with tags and )
In my project, Maven is used as a build framework:
... during the development step (step #1) :
- automate the build process of interdependent tools
- build the end-user framework (viewed as a maven-project template + tools)
- make an intermediate distribution with this end-user framework + external
data
... to modelize, configure and build a final product based on the previous
end-user framework
- ordering the build process steps (step #2)
- * download/ask for intermediate dependencies (bin, data, bin + data) as
needed. Binaries should be not only jars.
- make a distribution with a full-functionnal system (understand:
pre-configured and coherent set of applications ready to be installed on
pre-defined - i.e modelized - hosts).
In this purpose, the maven dependencies' mechanism should be an elegant way
to define a generic download mechanism on demand and to provide a very
light weight intermediate distribution (in step #1) for my "multi-purpose
project".
So my questions are...
1. To be a quite more generic (not only java/binary oriented), is there a
way to define other formats available for automatic download with the
attribute. I mean Is there a way to define dependency as a
DEPEND-1.0.tar or, mostly appreciated, as a PLUGIN-1.0.[tar|bz2|tgz|...].
I tried something which works (download in
$MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL/repository/something/jars/DEPEND-1.0.jar) but I lost the
"precious" automatic expand functionnality of the plugin...
2. Should the dependencies be specific of a particular goal in maven.xml.
With these pre-requisites, it should become coarse to distribute specific
data and made its available (question 1.) on demand (question 2.)
All suggestions are welcome...
