Hi,
while trying to cleanup the dependencies of archiva I found the dependency to
maven-model-converter which is an outdated and retired project.
The web site of maven model converter says:
Note: This shared component has retired from the Apache Maven project,
but has moved to the Apache Archiva project.
Which is not correct I think.
https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-model-converter/
The project adds some problematic transitive dependencies and I don't like to
idea to have a dependency on a retired project.
So there are two options:
- We get rid of the legacy maven repository conversion
Because the dependency is used by the maven legacy converter that
converts maven 1.x repositories to 2.x repositories
are there still 1.x archiva repositories out there that may use this
feature?
- We really adopt the maven-model-converter project and add it to our codebase
This change is intended for the archiva master branch (future 3.x) not the 2.x
branch.
Any opinions?
Regards
Martin
