Re: [cbi-dev] Unifying p2 & maven
|
Hi Jan,
Thanks for mentioning that. I believe there are a few places this might
be useful. I'd really love to hear other people's thoughts given the
breadth and depth of experience we have on this list.
This would be very useful to buffer dependencies between projects. e.g.
EGit & JGit for example. There may be potential for the platform build
to avoid building parts one isn't interested in building by downloading
it instead.
Artifacts need to flow into the working groups like LTS & Polarsys.
Nexus would be a nice way to have them do so.

as you stated, the maven and p2 repository formats are too different to unify them or even to convert them.
what we can still do though is use nexus as binary exchange hub for (zipped) p2 repositories produced by tycho builds [1].
That's a black box approach as far as Nexus is concerned (for nexus the zipped p2 repo is just another zip artifact), but at least you would have a single place for projects to publish and consume their (versioned!) repo binaries.

Hi Everyone,
We're getting very close to cutting over the Eclipse platform to CBI.
There will be a bit of cleanup stuff to be ready for Juno SR2 to
cut-over as well.
I'd like to get people thinking about our next big challenge... figuring
out and implementing a good solution for maven.eclipse.org.
Please read this for background & some thoughts I have on the matter:
http://42aross.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/my-take-on-mavenp2-unification-at-eclipse/
I'd be grateful for some feedback to help make sure I haven't overlooked
something important and to assist us to develop the right solution.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
