| Re: [andmore-dev] Android for Maven Eclipse going UNMAINTAINED |
Cool. I was just about to ask you that. Where does it override what ADT is doing or is it totally separate?On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 1:32 PM, David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:The maven stuff use's M2E's configuration API, so currently m2e-android ties into that existing API and m2e takes care of configuring items. We could leverage the same AAR containers there. If we just wanted M2E to handle things and kick off different compilation steps and dexing we need to provide those configuration extension plugins and let m2e know what to do.

Cool. Thanks David. I think you're right. Having both would be a good advantage. Bringing it over now while you're looking at it would be great. At least we'll have the source available as we do with the old ADT to reuse bits going forward.
BTW, as per my tweets earlier this week, I do have Andmore2 up and running using the Gradle tooling API and the Android build model. It's pretty rough right now but functions enough to demo. I'll have to see how we'd integrate Maven into that. There are somethings that I'm sure are different like the path to the APKs. A small layer to provide that info wouldn't be too hard.
Let see where this leads.Doug.

Well, you also have to look at what is being used out in the field as well.
1. Gradle is top priority as that is what the AOSP is using and what Android Studio is using. However....
2. In the field, both Gradle and Maven are being used. In fact the current client I have is a Maven shop, so they went with Maven for their Android builds as well. Maven supports AARs already and we can do similar things that we do with gradle, allow Maven to build artifacts when necessary, we just have to make the new build system flexible enough to handle it on the Andmore side.
3. IntelliJ Community edition... supports both Gradle and Maven.
Enterprise customers are using both, and if we can support both going forward we should. Ricardo did a lot of work on M2E-Android, and I'd personally hate to see it die away, but I also know resources are constrained on the project.
I actually wanted to bring M2E-Android over to Andmore when I brought the rest of ADT it would have been an easier way to get the configuration plugin out to more people.
Anyways, it is up to Ricardo if he wants to contribute the plugin or not, I've got a clone of the repository already, it'll just be much easier to bring it over sooner rather than later if any IP issues or concerns arise.

It's pretty clear the future of Android is Gradle. I really appreciate your efforts to get m2e working for Android projects. Unless we have someone contributing to Andmore who wants to take it further, I don't think it's worth that effort. But that's just my thoughts.

What does it mean to donate the code? How much work is that?
