Hi Alex,

yes, you are right about my question. I would appreciate to have a look into the upcoming stuff you are working on for that. We already developed a small jruby build-app that uses ivy to resolve build- artifacts. So there is not a big step of integrating it into buildr. Its more an issue of migrating 30+ Libraries to work with that stuff...

Kind Regards,
Peter

Yes, although the support is still rather basic. transitive() doesn't support version ranges, coalescing versions (e.g. log4j-1.2.14 and 1.2.15),
proximity or priority, etc.

Also, I think Peter was asking whether Buildr publishes Maven poms that
include dependency information.

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't Buildr already support transitive
dependencies?

define 'my-project' do
compile.with transitive('org.apache.wicket:wicket:jar:1.4')
end

Hi Alex,

i joined the list in April and looked at the last Posts in the Mailing
list, wich were quite old.
The same impression on the http://groups.google.com/group/buildr-talk .


The buildr-task mailing list was used before we moved into the Apache
incubator so it hasn't been used in a long while.


But i am quit happy that its not the case! I appreciate the work on
buildr
and i like the style of webseite and especially the pdf-version of the quide! I think its one of the best reads from a apache project i ever
had!


Great to hear! Assaf must be credited for much of the documentation and
doc
infrastructre. I like the result too. It's easy for developers to write
doc and it produces great output.

On the google-groups i found an (old) discussion about a plugin that
generates a maven pom with dependencies for an artifact. Is that
something
that is coming a future release of buildr?


Yes, that's the plan.

We are currently evaluating buildr combined with ivy for
dependency-mechanism, but a built-in maven dependency-support would be
even
nicer!


We're planning dependency management for Buildr 1.4.x. No actual work
has
started yet but ideas have been circulated.    We definitely plan to
support
reading Maven2 poms for transitive dependencies.  Using Ivy is a
possibility.  Do you want to look into that?
