Hi Cédric,
Looks very cool. Nice work!
I was wondering if you've seen the maven-shared-jar component? http://
maven.apache.org/shared/maven-shared-jar/
This seems like something you could use (and if you have some
additional features, as it appears you do, you might contribute them
back). This would help use the same logic for identification across
multiple applications - the project dependency reports, and Archiva
for example.
While it dropped down my list recently, I'm about 2/3 done cleaning
up or "Aardvark" code base which also uses this. It has some similar
objectives to Mavenizer, but so far seems to have addressed the
opposite use cases - it has a Swing UI and primarily does things like
project.xml and build.xml conversion (though dependency selection is
an important part of that). It might be good to keep in touch?

Hi Guys,
I would like to announce a new Apache licensed Maven 2 related tool
called
Mavenizer:
http://mavenizer.sourceforge.net/
I've been heavily using Maven for a long time and just couldn't
live without
it ;) but I often have to use third party libraries which have not
been
mavenized already or simply have bad repository metadata. Either way,
mavenizing such libraries is a real pain especially when you want
to get
Maven 2 transitive dependencies right.
Mavenizer attempts to ease the process of mavenizing such third party
libraries by trying to do as much guess work as possible.
A flash demo is available here, it illustrates the mavenization of
JFreeReport 0.8.7:
http://mavenizer.sourceforge.net/demos/jfreereport-0.8.7.html
This is considered alpha software. Nothing is stable yet; the code
is pretty
monolithic and not pluggable at all. I plan on rewriting the code
base from
the ground up in a more pluggable way so that Mavenizer can be
extended with
user custom logic, naming strategies, etc ... But I wanted to
release the
codebase as is as a proof of concept and why not, it could be helpful
already ;)
Any feedback on the way you use it and successful mavenizations using
Mavenizer would be really appreciated :) as well as bugs of course ^^
Kind regards,
Cédric Vidal
PS: Mavenizer is not related to Maveniser (with an 's' and also on
sourceforge), too bad the names are so close :(
