RE: new maven goal

I have a related question to SNAPSHOTs, now that we have a thread on this. I notice that SNAPSHOT jar file names substitute the version for the word SNAPSHOT. How does this behavior work for projects that have multiple branches? Our Platform project at work has many branches to it, there is a v1

RE: new maven goal

2003-12-19 Thread Steve Garcia
Ryan I think that a great point. When you state one has a dependency on a branch of a project, as opposed to a stable release of a project, then you might encounter times that building your code against a snapshot from that branch might break your build. That is the reason why following a branch

RE: Deprecation of POM interpolation in properties

2003-12-11 Thread Steve Garcia
I thought that the POM, being an "immutable" entity (once instantiated) and one with a well known layout, should be safe to use as a reference in other contexts. When would a plugin script ever be executed without having a POM pushed to it? I guess it can happen but I don't know when. -Origi

http://maven.apache.org Wow, a few CSS stylistic changes and Maven looks much better than before! One thing I found weird is the upper Maven banner - it says the "Apache Maven Project" and even gives a link "http://maven.apache.org"; yet it's anchor points to "http://www.apache.org";. I think

RE: install_repo scripts?

2003-11-24 Thread Steve Garcia
I believe they copy over all of the maven jar dependencies to your local repository (there are over 10). I presume this is so you don't have to wait several minutes to attain a goal the first time you use Maven because those jars are used by so many plugins. I don't think they are especially us

Curious, what was the problem with maven-new? Is there not enough support for it? Or are the main features going to be added to the existing Maven (therefore obviating the need for maven-new?) > -Original Message- > From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November

Just to clarify, where are the non-core plugins being moved to? Are they no longer going to be part of the maven src tree? Thanks! > -Original Message- > From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 1:09 PM > To: Maven Developers List > Subject: Moving

Thanks for the response Brett, I thought at first when nobody responded that my request was not well received. :) I was browsing through the bugs and there are some that I can definitely help with. Is the procedure just to attach the patch to the bug defect? I'm on the mailing list now so I'll

RE: project inheritence

2003-09-28 Thread Steve Garcia
I would anticipate that Maven should permit inheritance of the three files below (project.xml, project.properties, maven.xml), and in this case there is true inheritance...all properties defined by the child override the parent definition. But I would suggest it is the aggregete of the propertie

Hello there - I've been using Maven on and off for the last year, and I've recently downloaded the source and been playing around with it on my local machine. Thus far I have been impressed with Maven, and I'm really excited about where it can go in the future. Based on what I've seen, I am inter
