Hi,
Here's a short summary of what we chatted about and did at Maven Day:
1) We helped the folks at Google get a repository setup. Projects like
Collections, and GWT. We noticed Nicolas already syncing some Google
projects so Greg Kick was going to get into contact with Nicolas.
2) Brian led a discussion about Nexus and did a demo.
3) Eugene led a discussion about m2eclipse and did a demo. Most
interesting was the new project materialization support. We've been
working a few open source groups so that with one-click you can setup
everything you need to get involved with
a project. Sources, issues, documentation, links to the home page,
supporting documentation. Basically the easiest way to setup a new
developer anyone has ever seen :-)
4) Ralph talked about not requiring version elements in parents. There
are tests but we decided that there still needs to be some sample
projects so that people can look at how it would work exactly. There
is a bit of quirkiness to deal with in the 2.0.x code because the
internal model is mutilated. Shane has determined it would be pretty
easy to implement in 3.0.x and we'll decide on the behavior because
the implementations are going to be different.
5) Oleg talked about his code for removing the need for passwords in
cleartext in settings.xml files. The implementation is done but not
yet tied into any version of Maven. Many people in the room were very
keen on getting this feature actually pushed into Maven itself.
6) Oleg led a discussion about Mercury. Shane and Oleg are working
together on a) trying to integrate the new POM builder with a mode of
Mercury that would do Maven resolution, and then b) working together
to collect all uses of the maven-artifact code in 3.0.x and condense
component use to 1 component instead of 4-5 littered all over the
place and then replacing the one component with a Mercury based
component.
Overall it was pretty informal, it went well and Sonatype plans to
host another Maven day in its new offices in Mountain View next month.
Thanks,
Jason
