Re: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-21 Thread Tamás Cservenák
Well,

we have some notes and scratches around like these:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Maven+Ecosystem+Cleanup
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Towards+Doxia+2.0.0+Stack

But these are about Maven "ecosystem" that needed a lot of work to make
those up to date.
The "battle" with Maven4 API is _not present here_, as we can only work by
data that "trickles" to us,
or we spend our own energy to look up all the plugins out there...

Thanks
T

Re: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-20 Thread Debraj Manna
When I asked about the release timeline, I was enquiring whether Maven also
has release management documentation like the way some other apache
projects Flink or Kafka do. I was not able to find it for maven 4.

Anyways thanks, Marteen for the references.

The good news is, you don't have to read the mailing list history, nor dive 
into the issue tracker, nor read the git history. If you're curious what Maven 
4 will bring, I can highly recommend watching Karl-Heinz' 
talk [1]. Don't feel like watching somebody talk? You can read about some 
interesting articles and documentation: [2], [3], [4].

Hope this helps,

Yes, there is no "official" release timeline, you're obviously not going to 
promise anything, all this is (hopefully?) clear, BUT!
You no doubt have GUESSES.  And your guesses are no doubt better than that of 
most uninformed outsiders.
As an outsider, I have no idea what the "status" of maven 4 is, and I can't 
even begin to guess how I would find out.
Should I try to catch up on the last few years of traffic on the developer 
email lists?
Or perhaps the answer can be divined from the issue tracker?  If so, how?
Is it expected that alpha-10 will be the last alpha, and the next build will be 
a beta?
If that is NOT what you expect, then what's the primary hold up?
Are there major features that have yet to be implemented?
Or perhaps the features are mostly done but they're still a bit buggy?
Or perhaps the code quality is pretty solid and you just want to reserve the

that after hitting beta?

You get the idea.  As an insider, you probably think to yourself "there's no telling 
when we'll be done; it depends on a zillion unpredictable things".
But as outsiders, we don't even know whether the ETA is a few months or a few 
years or a few decades or perhaps just a few weeks.

Sorry if that came off as a bit of a rant :)

Maven 4.0.0 will be there when it's there.

Re: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-19 Thread Alexander Kriegisch
Gary,

you obviously did not read my message carefully. Please read one more
time. You will find out, that I did not call Maven's position ridiculous
*at all*, but on the contrary agreed with it, calling it a totally
valid statement.

What I called and am still calling ridiculous, is the wrong reason given
for that valid statement. Karl Heinz basically said: "We do not have a
timeline, because we are an OSS project." But the latter is not a valid
reason. A project can be an OSS project and have a loose or even a very
strict timeline. I even gave examples. Another project can be OSS or
commerial in nature, but not have a timeline. There is no causal
relationship between the "OSS yes/no" property of a project and its
"timeline yes/no" property. It is an individual decision each single OSS
project makes independently for its own reasons - or rather, the reasons
of its constituent team members. Those team members are human beings,
have daytime jobs, private obligations and interests. They are free in
their decisions, how much time they want to dedicate to the OSS project.
This is to be respected and not to be ridiculed in any way. But again,
...

>>> We are an open source project. We don't have a release timeline.

... is not sound reasoning. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a
duck, I take the liberty to call it ridiculous. Not the fact as such,
just the reason given.

Clear enough for you now, too?

As a fly on the wall here, not a dev, I think a kinder view would
reinterpret Maven's position not as "ridiculous" but rather
"down-priority", as in "we are busy, we like fixing bugs, adding features,

This is a totally valid statement, if this is the policy in the Apache
Maven project. No objections at all.

But:

> We are an open source project. We don't have a release timeline.

That is suboptimal response, to say it politely. OpenJDK and Eclipse IDE
with dozens of simultaneously released components have release cycles
for 6 (OpenJDK) and 3 (Eclipse SimRel) months with defined dates for
certain phases like milestones, release candidates, general availability
dates. I.e., you can say "Maven does not have a release timeline", fine.
But giving the reason that you do not have one because Maven is OSS, is,
with all due respect, just ridiculous.

Hi,

first try to build your whole project on plain command lineand see if there 
are issuesafter that you can try your IDE .. because IntelliJ has an

Howdy,

And to reply to the "longer stuff":

Current Maven 4 (on vote, so 3 days if vote passes OK and files land on
Central) is alpha-10.

As with any previous alphas, the _minimal_ requirement is that UT passes,
Maven can build itself, and that to pass Maven IT suite. IT suite is
currently, in this very moment 909 IT tests, but they grow constantly, as
new bugs or new features are added, this link
https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sM1Hx4Zk69FcT4Re31T?h=WCNYF5iZoo32qX5Hxyc8Qrzhc1t-HKpREAcWNL1r7t8==https://github.com/apache/maven-integration-testing/pulse/monthly
shows there were 3 ITs added last, two bugs from alpha-9 and new feature
regarding plugin validation.

As a downer, Maven 4 alpha-11 is FOR SURE expected, already scheduled:

https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sMAxLdUyTL5W6uWkqJh?h=KbxkwIqLoMQYfHx5OCZ4V-Mu7NdrW7MXjqNgyyl25so==https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql%3Dproject%2520%253D%2520MNG%2520AND%2520fixVersion%2520%253D%25204.0.0-alpha-11

Currently we work on stabilizing resolver and maven (both are alphas!),
and ironing out the new Maven 4 API (thus converting MANY core plugins to
use new API), see here:
https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sM689M2MmjfZGyyCSA5?h=7_-nR2qTzP6RIZLBqH9pHMeQfYQjGw5njIatpLSW6_U==https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1048

Basically we make sure that the new API delivers _everything_ we need in
core plugins, and even more, as some information trickles from third party
plugins as well. We have to do this "intelligence" work in alpha, where we
can break APIs, as we really need to adjust, adapt and make sure all this
once is set in stone (released as final), will work out for everyone doing
plugin development.

Good news is that Resolver 2.0.0 is pretty much "done":

https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sMFnXuwb8vVSvq4KETK?h=djE-5RAYZwC_J0iiRHe3cw4LXST_S1deoAEfdJrJlfU==https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql%3Dproject%2520%253D%2520MRESOLVER%2520AND%2520fixVersion%2520%253D%25202.0.0-alpha-6

I am not saying "resolver is done-done", just that we are "over the hill",
as regarding issue numbers over there. Most probably will have some lurking
bugs, like the last one was in Resolver 2 alpha-3 (plagues Maven 4 alpha-9)
about new "jdk" transport. And for sure will have bugs regarding new
transport features, as they are not ironed out fully.

Maven core is completely different, especially due to its API. Hence, the
more (intel) we get the merrier, as we see "core plugins" only.

So please try out, test it and report back.

Thanks

Howdy,

And to reply to the "longer stuff":

Current Maven 4 (on vote, so 3 days if vote passes OK and files land on
Central) is alpha-10.

As with any previous alphas, the _minimal_ requirement is that UT passes, Maven

this very moment 909 IT tests, but they grow constantly, as new bugs or new

 shows there were 3 ITs added last, two bugs from alpha-9 and new feature 
regarding plugin validation.

As a downer, Maven 4 alpha-11 is FOR SURE expected, already scheduled:
https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sMAxLdUyTL5W6uWkqJh?h=KbxkwIqLoMQYfHx5OCZ4V-Mu7NdrW7MXjqNgyyl25so==https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql%3Dproject%2520%253D%2520MNG%2520AND%2520fixVersion%2520%253D%25204.0.0-alpha-11

Currently we work on stabilizing resolver and maven (both are alphas!), and 
ironing out the new Maven 4 API (thus converting MANY core plugins to use new 
API), see here: 
https://clicktime.symantec.com/15sM689M2MmjfZGyyCSA5?h=7_-nR2qTzP6RIZLBqH9pHMeQfYQjGw5njIatpLSW6_U==https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1048

Basically we make sure that the new API delivers _everything_ we need in core 
plugins, and even more, as some information trickles from third party plugins 
as well. We have to do this "intelligence" work in alpha, where we can break 
APIs, as we really need to adjust, adapt and make sure all this once is set in

I am not saying "resolver is done-done", just that we are "over the hill", as 
regarding issue numbers over there. Most probably will have some lurking bugs, 
like the last one was in Resolver 2 alpha-3 (plagues Maven 4 alpha-9) about new 
"jdk" transport. And for sure will have bugs regarding new transport features, 
as they are not ironed out fully.

Maven core is completely different, especially due to its API. Hence, the more 
(intel) we get the merrier, as we see "core plugins" only.

So please try out, test it and report back.

Thanks

Re: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-18 Thread Tamás Cservenák
Howdy,

And to reply to the "longer stuff":

Current Maven 4 (on vote, so 3 days if vote passes OK and files land on
Central) is alpha-10.

As with any previous alphas, the _minimal_ requirement is that UT passes,
Maven can build itself, and that to pass Maven IT suite. IT suite is
currently, in this very moment 909 IT tests, but they grow constantly, as
new bugs or new features are added, this link
https://github.com/apache/maven-integration-testing/pulse/monthly shows
there were 3 ITs added last, two bugs from alpha-9 and new feature
regarding plugin validation.

As a downer, Maven 4 alpha-11 is FOR SURE expected, already scheduled:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MNG%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%204.0.0-alpha-11

Currently we work on stabilizing resolver and maven (both are alphas!), and
ironing out the new Maven 4 API (thus converting MANY core plugins to use
new API), see here: https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1048

Basically we make sure that the new API delivers _everything_ we need in
core plugins, and even more, as some information trickles from third party
plugins as well. We have to do this "intelligence" work in alpha, where we
can break APIs, as we really need to adjust, adapt and make sure all this
once is set in stone (released as final), will work out for everyone doing
plugin development.

Good news is that Resolver 2.0.0 is pretty much "done":
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MRESOLVER%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0-alpha-6

I am not saying "resolver is done-done", just that we are "over the hill",
as regarding issue numbers over there. Most probably will have some lurking
bugs, like the last one was in Resolver 2 alpha-3 (plagues Maven 4 alpha-9)
about new "jdk" transport. And for sure will have bugs regarding new
transport features, as they are not ironed out fully.

Maven core is completely different, especially due to its API. Hence, the
more (intel) we get the merrier, as we see "core plugins" only.

So please try out, test it and report back.

Thanks

Yup.

 download the distro and try on some of your projects?

In case of problems be so kind to report the issues so we can iron them out.

Imho, alpha 10 is in very good shape. Alpha-9 had a nasty bug and could remain 
running the process. Do not use it.

Re: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-18 Thread Tamás Cservenák
...or,.just go to staging repo
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-2050 download the
distro and try on some of your projects?

In case of problems be so kind to report the issues so we can iron them out.

Imho, alpha 10 is in very good shape. Alpha-9 had a nasty bug and could
remain running the process. Do not use it.

Thanks

RE: Maven 4.0 release timeline

2023-12-18 Thread mark.yagnatinsky
I'm not the original asker but this kind of answer tends to annoy me.
Yes, there is no "official" release timeline, you're obviously not going to 
promise anything, all this is (hopefully?) clear, BUT!
You no doubt have GUESSES.  And your guesses are no doubt better than that of 
most uninformed outsiders.
As an outsider, I have no idea what the "status" of maven 4 is, and I can't 
even begin to guess how I would find out.
Should I try to catch up on the last few years of traffic on the developer 
email lists?
Or perhaps the answer can be divined from the issue tracker?  If so, how?
Is it expected that alpha-10 will be the last alpha, and the next build will be 
a beta?
If that is NOT what you expect, then what's the primary hold up?
Are there major features that have yet to be implemented?
Or perhaps the features are mostly done but they're still a bit buggy?
Or perhaps the code quality is pretty solid and you just want to reserve the 
right to make backwards incompatible changes, and there's a policy to not do 
that after hitting beta?

You get the idea.  As an insider, you probably think to yourself "there's no 
telling when we'll be done; it depends on a zillion unpredictable things".
But as outsiders, we don't even know whether the ETA is a few months or a few 
years or a few decades or perhaps just a few weeks.

Sorry if that came off as a bit of a rant :)

We are an open source project. We don't have a release timeline.

Maven 4.0.0 will be there when it's there.


If you want to help testing, there is 4.0.0-alpha-9 version available (at the 
moment the VOTE for 4.0.0-alpha-10 is running developers list)..
