Re: [m2] depend on version-less jars?

2005-08-04 Thread Brett Porter
Hi Joe,

http://maven.apache.org/faq.html#unversioned-jars

Basically, unless the JAR will never change, it doesn't make sense to
have it unversioned in the repository. I've never seen a product that
only ever had one release :)

I'd be giving these version 4.0 by the sounds of it.

 that the jar tag for dependencies has been removed in m2?
 
 Apologies if the answer is staring me in the face.

Re: [m2] depend on version-less jars?

This is unfortunately a common issue.
Two cases I usually have:
- library is not created versioned
- I have to customize something and need to keep a local copy.

What I usually to in order is: try and find the version I'm using, and
add it to the JAR. Create a bogus version (can be any text). append the
project name to the existing version number if there is one, and I have
a local modification.

It's completely flexible so I don't think you need to worry to much...
best thing to do is create a private repository where you can dump all
this stuff, maybe use a version of 0.0.CHECKME or something to make it
easy to identify libs that will need later review.
