Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-2657:
-------------------------------------
bq. Assuming we have well-structured poms in the first place (huge assumption,
different issue), are developers unprepared to add the appropriate dependency
to the necessary pom?
If nothing else, it is abundantly clear that there are more than a couple of
Lucene/Solr developers that don't want to put in *any* effort for Maven's sake.
bq. Also, I'm not sure all jars are going to have the appropriate manifest. If
the pom is generated (like Artifactory can do btw), I'm not sure it is packaged
in the jar?
I've looked into 10-15 jars, and very few have the required info. Some even
have the wrong information in the manifest...
I think we can use .jar digest (SHA-1) as identifiers to look up the
appropriate Maven info to automatically set up POM dependencies. I wrote a
script to crawl the central Maven repo for SHA-1 keyed Maven coordinates
(groupId:artifactId:version), and it seems to work, but at the rate it's
progressing, it will take 4 days to finish. Anyway, it seems like overkill to
gather info on all of the ~250k artifacts in the Maven central repo, just to
handle the ~80 .jar files in the Lucene/Solr source tree.
I found a free service that provides Maven central repo search, including by
artifact digest: http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/search - it uses Lucene to
power the search :). I plan on using this as the basis for automatic Maven
coordinate lookup for arbitrary .jars.

> Key: LUCENE-2657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2657
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Steven Rowe
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1, 4.0
>
>
> Lucene and Solr modules' POM templates are manually maintained, and so are
> not always in sync with the dependencies used by the Ant build.
> It should be possible to auto-generate POM templates using build tools
> extending Ant's
> [BuildListener|http://api.dpml.net/ant/1.6.5/org/apache/tools/ant/BuildListener.html]
> interface, similarly to how the
> [ant2ide|http://gleamynode.net/articles/2234/] project generates eclipse
> project files.
