Re: [pde-build-dev] Re: Integrating with an external build system (Ant, Maven, etc.)

OK, NOW I understand what you're saying. I've been coding java for 7+ years but when you wrote pointer my mind mapped things to C++ and it was a lost cause at that point. Even with the new understanding, I'm still volunteering for the maven plugin work. :)

Great. So what I'm imagining here
is a Maven plugin that takes a pointer to a manifest and a pointer to some
index info (listing all the bundles that are available). The plugin
would then create and resolve a "state" based on the two inputs.
From that the state can be traversed to discover all the prereqs,
their ordering and the access rules needed for each. the plugin
would inject the dependencies and Maven would do its magic to ensure tha
those jars are indeed in the local repo. The plugin would also work
with a compiler plugin to setup the correct command line (ie. with access
rules) is passed in at compile time. Does this make sense?
So it seems like what we need is someone
to try this. We can provide such a resolver (would take a few days
to put together) and the code to do the state traversal (for ordering)
and access rule computation but we lack the Maven know-how to do the integration.
Volunteers?

I volunteer on the maven side, although I will have to reread this email again slower because you lost me.
