Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
As usual, |
| 4 |
-----------------Goal----------------- |
| 5 |
The goal of this project is to be easily able to write ebuilds for |
| 6 |
upstream projects that use Apache Maven as the build system. The Maven |
| 7 |
integration allows to natively use Apache Maven in Java packages in |
| 8 |
the main tree. The current system work around the support for Maven |
| 9 |
projects by transforming them to Ant. It generates build.xml via “mvn |
| 10 |
ant:ant” command and sanitizes that. This conversion too has some |
| 11 |
problems and needs to fixed. With this project, developers gains the |
| 12 |
ability to use native Maven support for writing ebuilds and will get |
| 13 |
full support for using maven-to-ant feature. |
| 14 |
|

-----------------Progress----------------- |

* Some details about the progress so far can be found at |
| 19 |
https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Maven_Integration |
| 20 |
* At the end of last week, I was able to install almost all the |
| 21 |
mandatory packages. So, we packaged maven-core with all it's |
| 22 |
dependencies, and finally added the maven ebuild. There were some |
| 23 |
configurations needed to be done to the original mvn script. This was |
| 24 |
to make to it work under the gentoo environment, as well as to handle |
| 25 |
packaging done via maven build tool. These things are complete now. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Well, the script didn't ran in the first run. There were some missing |
| 28 |
component-descriptors which needs to be fixed. Now, I'm on my way to |
| 29 |
fixing these. Apparently, the Debian guys who implemented this on |
| 30 |
their platform faced this problem too. For more details: |
| 31 |
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542162 |
| 32 |
So, now I'm in the process of tracking the error down. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* java-maven-2.eclass bug fix: all the build files should be bsfixed |
| 35 |
at once since java-ant_bsfix_files can only run one time. This is |
| 36 |
because JAVA_ANT_JAVADOC_OUTPUT_DIR is a readonly var that is defined |
| 37 |
java-ant_bsfix_files function. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* Fixed issues with doxia, now it can be emerged successfully. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
* There were another set of ebuild bumps and additions. See |
