Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Goal: |
| 4 |
The goal of this project is to be easily able to write ebuilds for |
| 5 |
upstream projects that use Apache Maven as the build system. The Maven |
| 6 |
integration allows to natively use Apache Maven in Java packages in |
| 7 |
the main tree. The current system work around the support for Maven |
| 8 |
projects by transforming them to Ant. It generates build.xml via “mvn |
| 9 |
ant:ant” command and sanitizes that. This conversion too has some |
| 10 |
problems and needs to fixed. With this project, developers gains the |
| 11 |
ability to use native Maven support for writing ebuilds and will get |
| 12 |
full support for using maven-to-ant feature. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Progress: |
| 15 |
* Got plexus-ftp emerged successfully after several number of ebuild |
| 16 |
changes bug fixes . |
| 17 |
* added some dependencies to the POM file because the released |
| 18 |
version is lacking some dependencies needed for the test phase. Then, |
| 19 |
generated the release-pom based on that. |
| 20 |
* created a patch to make dnsjava ebuild work with >=jdk-1.5. It |
| 21 |
only worked with =jdk-1.4* before. |
| 22 |
* bumped wagon-provider-api to 1.0_beta7. Current ebuild at |
| 23 |
java-overlay is named as 1.0, but it's actually 1.0_beta2! |
| 24 |
* removed unnecessary DEPENDs from cornerstone-connection |
| 25 |
* added working SLOT to avalon-framework |
| 26 |
* fixed IUSE in tomcat-jasper |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* Fixed build problems in wagon-ftp. But there's another issue in it |
| 29 |
with regard to DEPEND plexus-utils, which needs to be fixed [1]. Real |
| 30 |
testing of how wagon-ftp builds can be tested after that. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Next: |
| 33 |
* debug java-pkg_getjars to pinpoint where the error comes. |
| 34 |
* Get wagon-ftp ebuild to work. |
| 35 |
* The ultimate goal is to get building maven from source fully |
| 36 |
working/bootstrapping maven. |
