Hi Jason, thanks a lot for your investigations.
I think the least we should do is to replace our usage of the Maven Ant tasks with Aether for publishing to Maven repos. I'm not sure yet about reading from Maven repos. As we have discussed, we definitely want to replace the Ivy IBiblio resolver with something Maven native. The maven-artifact-descriptor module looks like an interesting choice if we want to wrap this within Ivy. I'm not sure about the other way round (e.g. conflict resolutions, modules with multiple artifacts, ...). - Hans -- Hans Dockter Founder, Gradle http://www.gradle.org, http://twitter.com/gradleorg CEO, Gradle Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradle.biz On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 8:53 PM, Jason Porter <[email protected]>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA256 > > I'm guessing people in the build space have seen > http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/08/introducing-aether/ and > https://docs.sonatype.org/display/AETHER/Home I've been playing > around with it a bit and talking to Benjamin Bentmann on the maven > codehaus channel the last couple of days.
