Hi, I'm just starting to look at toolchains, with the goal of using Java 5 for jobs in latest Jenkins LTS version.
Here are a few reflections from what I've read so far. Great to have a toolchains reference. It is in core site where it belongs. It needs to be expanded with more explanations though. We should link to the reference from the plugin and the guide. The xsd used needs to be added to the main Maven site in the xsd directory. There are currently 3 wiki pages used or referenced. One Codehaus page [1] that is linked from the plugin site which doesn't exist. One abandoned page at Codehaus [2] that has been superceeded by one at ASF when we moved the wiki. The corresponding page ar ASF Confluence is in the OLD supposedly unused wiki space [3]. In my opinion we need exactly one user-writable wiki page and it should be in ASF Confluence wiki space if possible. [1] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Toolchains+Plugin [2] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Toolchains [3] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Toolchains Information regarding support in plugins should be on the main Maven site, so that we can update it quickly when new plugins support it. The others should just link to that page. The current info on supporting plugins is... diverse. We need to move the correct info to the above mentioned page. Having a downloadable working example project (zip), with clear installation instructions, would be a great way for people to easily get started with toolchains. I'll see if I can put one together as I explore toolchains more. -- Dennis Lundberg Den 1 nov 2014 00:37 skrev "Hervé BOUTEMY" <[email protected]>: > I started improving documentation on toochains: > - in core [1] > - in m-toolchains-p [2] > > feedback appreciated > > next step is documenting how to create a custom toolchain: any pointer to > some > working extra-toolchain (or even archetype, let's dream)? > > Regards, > > Hervé > > [1] http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-core/ > > [2] > http://maven.apache.org/plugins-archives/maven-toolchains-plugin-LATEST/ > > Le jeudi 30 octobre 2014 04:58:25 Hervé BOUTEMY a écrit : > > Le jeudi 30 octobre 2014 10:08:19 Mark Derricutt a écrit : > > > On 29 Oct 2014, at 19:33, Baptiste Mathus wrote: > > > > Didn't double checked, but IIRC 3.1.1 still uses JDK5. 3.2.x uses > JDK 6. > > > > That may be a change you want to have in mind, though I personally > don't > > > > care about JDK 5. > > > > > > Another +1 for promoting the use of toolchains. > > > > +1 > > > > the question is: how to promote it? > > what's missing? > > > > Regards, > > > > Hervé > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
