Scott M Stark updated JBAS-1308: -------------------------------- Assign To: Ryan Campbell (was: Scott M Stark) > thirdparty module needs updating > -------------------------------- > > Key: JBAS-1308 > URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1308 > Project: JBoss Application Server > Type: Bug > Components: Build System > Environment: N/A > Reporter: Charles Crouch > Assignee: Ryan Campbell > Priority: Minor > > > There are a number of issues with the contents of the thirdparty module in > sourceforge CVS: > 1) Jars are duplicated within the module, e.g. commons-logging (v1.0.1-dev) > is in thirdparty/apache/struts/lib/ and also (v1.0.3) in > thirdparty/apache/commons/lib/. If we need to maintain multiple versions of a > single jar then they should be kept in the same folder and clearly > differentiated by including the version in the jar file name. > 2) Not all jars in the thirdparty module are described in > thirdparty/licenses/thirdparty-licenses.xml, e.g. none of the jars in the ibm > folder. Plus it needs to be tidied up to remove stuff like this: > <module name="odmg" licenseType="lgpl" > version="3.8.1" > projectHome="http://www.junit.org/index.htm" > description="Java unit testing framework"> > <jar name="odmg-3.0.jar" /> > </module> > > 3) To quote Scott "The thirdparty and licenses contents needs to be kept > consistent and up to date. If this is not the case it needs to be fixed.". It > would be nice if we there was some automated process we could use to keep > things consistent. At worst we could update the thirdparty/README/README.txt > to include needing to update the thirdparty-licenses.xml. I think the biggest > incentive to get people to follow the README is if more of the existing > projects followed it. hsqldb is a great example but most of the other folders > just contains jars. > Off Topic... This is one of the reasons why I like www.ibiblio.org/maven, it > makes this whole area "Not Our Problem".
