Hi all, |
| 2 |
-----------------Goal----------------- |
| 3 |
The goal of this project is to be easily able to write ebuilds for |
| 4 |
upstream projects that use Apache Maven as the build system. The Maven |
| 5 |
integration allows to natively use Apache Maven in Java packages in |
| 6 |
the main tree. The current system work around the support for Maven |
| 7 |
projects by transforming them to Ant. It generates build.xml via “mvn |
| 8 |
ant:ant” command and sanitizes that. This conversion too has some |
| 9 |
problems and needs to fixed. With this project, developers gains the |
| 10 |
ability to use native Maven support for writing ebuilds and will get |
| 11 |
full support for using maven-to-ant feature. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
-----------------Progress----------------- |
| 14 |
During this week, I have bumped the basic set of maven plugins that |
| 15 |
are needed for offline operation of maven. These were done via mvn |
| 16 |
ant:ant approach. These include maven-compiler-plugin, |
| 17 |
maven-resources-plugin, maven-jar-plugin, maven-clean-plugin, etc. |
| 18 |
In the meanwhile, I have started looking in to the java-maven-2 eclass |
| 19 |
to understand what are the missing bits that needs to be filled. I |
| 20 |
fixed some bugs associated with local repo. |
| 21 |
In the meanwhile, I've fixed eselect-maven to contain our maven dist maven-2. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
During past few days, I've been looking in to a proper implementation |
| 24 |
on specifying the installed plugin versions to make mvn see it. There |
| 25 |
are several solutions for the solution but neither are optimal. [1] |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As discussed with mentor (kiorky), I'm switching from plugin impl/pom |
| 28 |
rewritings to native eclass work from today. The idea is to finish up |
| 29 |
eclass thing and then put full focus on parent-pom resolution, |
| 30 |
setting plugin or dependency versions,maven local repo structure. |
