I've been working on the maven-shade-plugin that we use to create the bundle jar to hopefully make it produce deployable artifacts that are actually usable from maven. I'd like help testing that if at all possible.
Basically, the with the old bundle, the jar was usable, but the pom pretty much wasn't. The dependencies were all optional and such so trying to get the correct stuff was not fun. Also, the source jar was not available so debugging in eclipse sucked. The new shade plugin has flags to create a source jar as well. It also can strip out the dependencies that were shaded and promote any of their transitive dependencies into the pom. The result is that the pom should be usable as a dependency directly with the transitives all picked up. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if any of you that are working with maven projects that depend on CXF could give it a try. I'm mostly curious if the dependencies are all OK or not. I've deployed new SNAPSHOTS of both 2.0.4 and 2.1 that should be using this. Thanks! -- J. Daniel Kulp Principal Engineer, IONA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dankulp.com/blog
