---------------------------------
Summary: Stop including bare jars as convenience binary for Java
Key: AVRO-2395
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2395
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Task
Components: community, java
Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 1.7.7, 1.9.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
currently as a project our "convenience binary" for java is the complete set of
jars, source jars, test jars, and javadoc jars. that means as a part of RC
vetting someone has to check all of those individual files in addition to
checking them in the staged nexus repo.
the overwhelming majority of java users will consume our releases via maven
central. we should either
* ship nothing for java out of dist.a.o
* ship a tarball that contains the things we currently ship
* ship a tarball that is a laid out like a repository and includes both our
artifacts and transitive dependencies
my personal preference is for "ship nothing". The last option would have the
most potential use IMHO, since it would allow someone to easily set up a local
repository when they need to build against our artifacts.
