Hi all, This morning I tried a "fresh" Maven build (mvn clean install) and I encountered an issue:
Downloading: http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/org/apache/ace/ace-repository-impl/0.8.0-SNAPSHOT/ace-repository-impl-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar [INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.apache.ace:ace-repository-impl:jar:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT' in repository apache.snapshots (http://repository.apache.org/snapshots) [INFO] snapshot org.apache.ace:ace-log-store:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT: checking for updates from apache.snapshots [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Having a collection of these available really helps people get started (after building they should be able to run, with one single command, a server, a target, etc.). Eventually, the definition of what goes to a target is something we want to be able to import into ACE too, so we can self-host our own targets. Having such a definition in a format that works for Maven, Pax Runner and ACE would be great. > Because this is also a very good way to test our bundles (using pax exam), i > was looking for a way to > - reuse the maven infrastructure > - reuse this definition as much as possible for different scenarios Agreed, doing integration tests means defining such targets and running tests against them. To optimize the speed of such tests, one can decide to define custom targets with just the right artifacts to run those tests. Here I see a lot of synergy between Pax Exam, running tests and ACE, provisioning the right artifacts. Running tests in a framework that keeps running but simply gets reconfigured test after test is an interesting direction to go in. > With this, i think it is pretty easy to continue stacking together the > target definition(s), running "tests" (currently it just checks if every > bundle resolves+starts), interpreting the possible error log and fix BND > settings as appropriate. > One more word on the ace-target-devgateway stufff: > currently there is just the bundlelist (in pom), but i am playing with > embedding & extracting the default settings (as before in those "conf" > folders) in them as well. Not sure how this turns out, yet. One direction we could explore here is to start using Auto Configuration for this. Part of this specification is the XML format in which configuration data is supplied. I think I even might still have some code lying around to convert normal property files into this XML format.
