Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if there is concensus at Eclipse regarding the
versioning of bundles in a Maven repository.
OSGi/Eclipse requires <major>.<minor>.<service>.<qualifier> where the
qualifier is some string designation for the build. However, Maven users
utilizing "version ranges" would require usage of the Maven standard of
<major>.<minor>.<revision>-[qualifier/buildno].
Some experimentation on my part shows that Maven renames objects based
upon the artifactId and versionId when publishing. I haven't confirmed
whether they are renamed back when retrieved for a build. However, to be
compatible with Eclipse they will need to retain the
<bundle_name>_<M>.<m>.<s>.<qualifier>.jar naming. Do they? Am I wrong?
Since I don't use Maven for building I cannot test it easily.
Now Tycho utilizes P2 repositories, so the question is mostly
sidestepped, but not all projects use Tycho to generate their bundles,
not all projects generate only eclipse plugins, and not all teams
publish only to P2. I'm wondering how other teams deal with the
disparity between versioning schemes.
I don't want to accommodate Maven publishing standards only to break the
artifacts published (Publishing to Maven shouldn't preclude the bundles
use in Eclipse). However, given the growing number of bugs I'm receiving
regarding Maven support, I believe that ignoring Maven methodology isn't
in the best interest of the project as a whole.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks.
-Eric
