-----------------Goal----------------- |
| 2 |
The goal of this project is to be easily able to write ebuilds for |
| 3 |
upstream projects that use Apache Maven as the build system. The Maven |
| 4 |
integration allows to natively use Apache Maven in Java packages in |
| 5 |
the main tree. The current system work around the support for Maven |
| 6 |
projects by transforming them to Ant. It generates build.xml via “mvn |
| 7 |
ant:ant” command and sanitizes that. This conversion too has some |
| 8 |
problems and needs to fixed. With this project, developers gains the |
| 9 |
ability to use native Maven support for writing ebuilds and will get |
| 10 |
full support for using maven-to-ant feature. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
-----------------Progress----------------- |
| 13 |
Currently, I'm in the bumping process of packages in maven-2.2.1. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
wagon-* ebuilds in the java-overlay is marked as 1.0 though it should |
| 16 |
1.0_beta2. So, for now I've masked those ebuilds. The latest version |
| 17 |
of wagon-* ebuilds is 1.0_beta7. |
| 18 |
the build.xml file generated by mvn ant:ant points to maven local repo |
| 19 |
for dependencies. (var mvn.repo.local=${user.home}/.m2/repository). |
| 20 |
This breaks the purpose of having the system repo. So, fixed this |
| 21 |
issue. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Bumped/fixed/added following ebuilds: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
bumped maven-artifact to 2.2.1 |
| 26 |
added maven-artifact-manager. |
| 27 |
added plexus-interpolation. |
| 28 |
bumped maven-settings ebuild |
| 29 |
added maven-artifact-test. |
| 30 |
bumped maven-plugin-parameter-documenter |
| 31 |
bumped maven-profile |
| 32 |
bumped maven-error-diagnostics |
| 33 |
bumped maven-plugin-registry |
| 34 |
bumped maven-project |
| 35 |
bumped wagon-ssh |
| 36 |
added wagon-ssh |
| 37 |
bumped maven monitor |
| 38 |
bumped maven-plugin-descriptor to 2.2.1 |
| 39 |
bumped maven-plugin-api |
| 40 |
bumped wagon-ssh-common |
| 41 |
bumped wagon-ssh |
| 42 |
added wagon-ssh-external |
| 43 |
bumping wagon-http-shared |
| 44 |
bumping wagon-http-lightweight |
| 45 |
added plexus-cipher |
| 46 |
added plexus-sec-dispatcher |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
-----------------Next----------------- |
| 50 |
Now, I'm at bumping maven-core ebuild. There's enormous number of |
| 51 |
dependencies that needs to be fixed. One of the depend, |
| 52 |
maven-reporting-api needs doxia. reporting is optional for |
| 53 |
bootstrapping maven, but couldn't emerge maven-core with out the |
| 54 |
reporting-api, because it causes compile errors due to missing |
| 55 |
packages. So, to bump maven-core, we need to bump doxia first. It's |
| 56 |
taking a little time. Strangely, the maven-core-2.2.1 tests fail when |
| 57 |
invoked via ant while they pass when invoken via mvn! |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
One more issue: doxia needs itext:1.4 depend, which is no longer |
| 60 |
available to download. Available versions of it are API incompatible. |
| 61 |
Need to find a solution for it. May be we have to download and install |
| 62 |
the jar directly going against the general rules! Any suggestions? |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
After this finishes, I'm going to start looking in to bumping all the |
| 65 |
maven-plugins DEPENDs. |
