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 |

-----------------Progress----------------- |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
As I noted in the last report, the milestone for the mid-term is |
| 16 |
complete. So, I'm on schedule of the project if not a little ahead of |
| 17 |
it. |
| 18 |
Last week has been spent mainly on quality testing and fixing the |
| 19 |
small glitches I found on the way of the emerging of outcome, |
| 20 |
maven-from-source. sera and my mentor, kiorky helped much on quality |
| 21 |
testing. |
| 22 |
I've already started the work on next milestone. that is, working on |
| 23 |
the native part of the eclass. One of the main task in it is to |
| 24 |
continue the pom rewriting feature. Pom rewriting happens by the maven |
| 25 |
helpers in the package javatoolkit. It turned out that it wasn't that |
| 26 |
much hard. I have added the vital functionalities. Further needed |
| 27 |
changes will be decided along the course of the project. |
| 28 |

-----------------Next----------------- |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Next term is to finish up the native part of the eclass to support the |
| 32 |
ebuilds of maven based projects. Along with that, I need to rewrite |
| 33 |
the maven plugins ebuilds to conform to the newly written eclass. In |
| 34 |
the last meeting with the mentor, we have decided to use our eclass to |
| 35 |
build the plugins instead of work arounding by converting them to a |
| 36 |
ant project. This to be done after verifying that maven itself doesn't |
| 37 |
depend on the core plugins. |
