Hi all, I have seen some effort scattered here and there for providing maven2 repositories containing the jars that make up the eclipse platform. It would be great if an automated repository could be created that would keep eclipse jars accessible to maven.
The eclipse:make-artifacts goal in the maven-eclipse-plugin is capable of scanning an eclipse installation, and importing all the jars in that installation into a maven2 repository. Eclipse itself is capable of auto-updating itself from the command line, without human or GUI intervention: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/imshelp1/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.cia.infocenter.doc/references/rupdatecommand.html These two features together, with some scripting and a place to host the repository, is in theory all that would be needed to make eclipse jars automatically available to maven users. Thoughts? Regards, Graham -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
