Fwd: [orbit-dev] Orbit Maven repository

["Hendy Irawan" <hendy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

According to Jeff below, this means that Equinox in maven central is "rogue"... so if we want to push the idea through, we'd need someone to take this job (who? me? I was hoping someone else would, hehe...), and also get authorization to maven central since we presume getting permission from Eclipse community was the easy bit...

In case the pre-bureaucracy goes well, a technical improvement would be to add/modify POMs in Equinox projects so they can be 'mvn deploy'-ed easily by anyone having proper access to maven central. I assume this will be slightly more convoluted, but still possible, and probably good for the long run.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks for your interest in Orbit.  As you may know, the current Maven repo content was put together by someone (not sure who) completely independent of the Eclipse team.  We had no input on how it was structured or what was put there. 

 

To your specific question, there are currently no plans to create or maintain a Maven repository at eclipse.org.  We will be creating and hosting a p2 repository however.  My understanding is that Maven has an extensible repository structure such that it could be extended to read other repository layouts.  Perhaps if there were a p2 repo plugin for Maven then Maven users could point directly at the eclipse.org repositories.

 

In the mean time however, it seems like the best path is for the Maven user community to agree on the format for bundles in Maven repos and then populate the standard Maven repo with the upcoming Ganymede release.

Dear Orbit developers,

I had this discussion with the OPS4J community.

We're having difficulty getting Equinox-related artifacts using Maven... which now our current approach is to host them (Equinox artifacts) within OPS4J Maven repository.

The current Equinox artifacts at maven central are outdated and also having inconsistent JAR versioning/naming (versus the ones in eclipse.org/orbit).

We're looking forward to having "official" Equinox maven artifacts hosted on Maven central or perhaps if Orbit also has a Maven repository. Even better if Eclipse maven artifacts can also be there too. Thank you.

Yes, true,
who is taking contact? If you want to put some force behind this, go
ahead, it would be great to have a good repo to build against!
