[jetty-dev] How to use Orbit releases with maven-based non-Eclipse-plugi

[Oliver Kopp <kopp.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jetty developers,

You are developing a non-Eclipse plugin, therefore I approach you :)

I'm trying to build the Eclipse project "Winery", which is a web-based
application and not an Eclipse plugin. To be IP clean, I want to
consume Orbit bundles only. I opted for maven as build tool.

Therefore, I'm trying to understand, how one can use the libraries
made available by Orbit in projects not being Eclipse plugins.

I asked the Orbit developers and Gunnar pointed me to you. O:) I
quickly checked your poms, but there is no reference to another maven
repository. Did I overlook something or are you really fetching your
jars from mavencentral?

Thank you in advance and greetings,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I know that the Jetty project is doing something like this. They wrote
some Maven stuff to turn Orbit jars into Maven consumable pieces. You
might want to ask there.

FWIW, although some jars in Orbit might have been built from stuff in
Maven Central, you can’t consume stuff from Maven Central in you
Eclipse projects and distribute that as is.  At least the about.html
file needs to be added which (as far as I know) is not in any jar in
Maven Central. Some bundles also only contain a subset. Additionally,
in order to benefit from the simplified CQs (re-use from Orbit CQs)
you must re-use the Orbit bits.
