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----------------- |
| 15 |
This week has been spent on working on ebuilds related to maven plugins, and |
| 16 |
native eclass implementation. |
| 17 |
Packaging maven plugins turned out to be a little heavier than the |
| 18 |
maven dependencies I've packaged earlier. This is mainly because of |
| 19 |
the inabilities of ant. My earlier plan was to package the plugins |
| 20 |
natively. But there were few plugins where I had to follow the ant:ant |
| 21 |
approach. The needed plugins include maven-compiler-plugin, surefire, |
| 22 |
maven-jar-plugin, etc. |
| 23 |
I have changed the java-maven-plugins eclass to make it work with |
| 24 |
current ebuilds. Mainly the dep fixes has been done. In the meanwhile, |
| 25 |
I have started working on the java-maven-2 eclass. src_compile is |
| 26 |
complete. src_install needs to be done, which is somewhat challenging. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Current plan is to have the basic plugins packaged by next Monday. |
| 29 |
And then, have the native eclass working by Friday in the coming week. |
| 30 |
This plugins requirement is unexpected. It could be bigger than what I |
| 31 |
have aimed. Because of this, I'm getting a bit late on the schedule. |
| 32 |
Will catch up soon. |
