Re: Compatibility with Ant 1.6?

2004-10-14 Thread Earl . Hokens
I don't want to overstep my bounds but even with significant compatibility 
issues I think that it would be crucial to keep up with the progression of 
Ant. Eventually, you'd have to abandon Ant or incur an even bigger 
compatibility problem.  Not keeping up may encourage people to abandon 
Maven.

Yep, as Arnaud and Dion have said.

It's targetted for 1.1, but is also on the chopping block if it causes
significant compatibility problems.

Set yourself to watch the JIRA issue if interested. You'll find it on
the Roadmap for 1.1

Re: Compatibility with Ant 1.6?

2004-10-14 Thread Earl . Hokens
Again, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers so please do not take it 
personally.  I really do like the concept of Maven and I am trying to get 
it incorporated into our environment.  We also have people here that are 
currently using Ant and are on 1.6 version. I think Maven is a next 
natural step beyond Ant but getting people to switch from Ant 1.6 and move 
back to something utilizing Ant 1.5.3 would make it harder for me to 
convince people to switch.

Furthermore, as Ant continues to progress relying on an old version opens 
up Maven to risk whether real or perceived.  The perception risk is Maven 
uses old Ant = not current, not good.  Regardless of how well Maven may 
function perception counts.

I don't see how any of your points are logical conclusions of not using 
the latest and greatest version of Ant. Whichever version of Ant is 
currently used in Maven, will continue to work in Maven. Ant going to 
version 1.7, or 2.0, won't suddenly cause Maven to stop working. And if 
Maven is still working, why would I abandon it? Certainly not just 
because there's a newer version of Ant available.

 Is Jelly still the scripting language for Maven 2.0?

The short answer is no. 

The long answer is that there will be several options for scripting
plugins: the XML scripting option is something called Marmalade which is
something like Jelly except it actually works and doesn't result in the
operator pulling out his own teeth trying to get it work. Jelly is a
guaragantuan piece of crap and I made the dire mistake of incorporating
it into Maven which I will always regret. Marmalade is written by John
Casey who has been long involved in Maven, he's heavily involved in
Maven 2.x and is committed to the long-term maintenance of Marmalade.
He's got all the core Jelly tag libs working as well.

Some other options are Beanshell, Janino and possibly JRuby. Don't even
ask about Groovy because I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.

Re: maven war problem

2004-09-17 Thread Earl . Hokens
No question is ever silly!  I thought I had run maven clean but apparently 
I did not.  Works like a charm now. 

As for the jar files in the lib dir, we use WebSphere Studio and do our 
testing on the embedded server in the tool.  They are needed somewhere in 
the class path for running it local.  Some of us put things in the lib 
directory, other put them in a separate project and refer to them as 
external jars.  We haven't decided which is better both have pros and 
cons. 

Thanks a lot Nathan.

Subject:Re: maven war problem

looks ok to me,

this might be a silly suggestion but have executed maven clean since you 
modified the 
maven.war.src.excludes?

is your source directory [project]/WebContent
or
[project]/src/WebContent
if the latter, you'll want
maven.war.src=${maven.src.dir}/WebContent

you might want to check there is no overriding maven.war.src.excludes 
entry in 
[user_home]/build.properties

One more thing,  you probably don't want jar files in your maven.war.src 
dir these should 
probably be identified with dependency elements in your project.xml

hope this is useful

 maven.war.src.excludes=**/*.jar,**/*.gph,**/*.xmi
 
 The files matching these criteria are still included in the war.  I've 
 tried various permutations of the exclude files to no avail.  What I am 
 doing wrong?
