Hi,
These are the problems I came across while setting up my current
projects to use the tasks:
1. ant-optional has problems (can't decide if it belongs to the group
ant or ant-optional). Actually, as a general question, would it not be
better to have all the commons downloads in the group commons, rather
than duplicating the actual library name
(commons-logging/commons-logging)?
2. javassist 3.0 and commons-codec 1.3 have no pom.xml (and some others
too, but I forgot to note them down)
3. mysql-connector-java has the wrong jar name (xx-stable-bin...)
4. commons-configuration has all kinds of problems, with the
mockobjects:mockobjects... dependency and a lot of others besides -
apparently secondary dependencies - I can't be bothered to list them
all, there are just too many (in the end, I just hacked the local
pom.xml to get rid of them).
Is there any way of providing an 'at-least' definition? For example, I
could specify that my project required at least version 2.2 of xerces,
and maven/ant would make sure I had that version or later. It would be
great to avoid having 73 versions of xerces in the local repository just
because developers don't upgrade to the latest dot version in their pom
(or in their projects). If project owners really think there will be
compatibility problems, perhaps they could specify a general version
(for example xerces-1.*, xerces-2.*) or a range (xerces-1.4:xerces-1.6).
This might reduce the flood of downloads that seems to accompany every
maven project I build.
I don't want to be negative - I love this feature of maven and I am very
happy that it is now available to us ant users.
Best wishes
John

This is just a warning, and can be ignored for now (as you can see, it
has been disabled due to bad data in the repository).

They should have been converted over - please give us a list of the ones
that are causing your problems (or file them here
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV) and we'll look into correcting
them. I can see that commons-codec is definitely missing data..
Cheers,
Brett
