Hi all, > *Roger* info: Pivot team is not only Roger :-) ...
> 1) pivot build is ant-centric and treats pom.xml as a byproduct resource. yes, I know, it has been that way since the beginning ... so I add the maven-related stuff some time ago, but from an ant point of view ... > 2) the "mvn clean install" will not work on the pivot trunk. anyway, the "right" command for us, using ant is this (as written in our BUILD file): * To install in a local Maven repository (requires Maven Ant tasks): $ ant maven-install for sure it works with 2.0.x branch, and one time fixed the dependency it will work even in trunk. > 3) all you have to do is to add new dependency stanza ... ok, we'll do it. thanks for now. But remember to commit the fix under the same jira issue that introduce the dependency. > 3) the way to test this is to create a maven project which uses new pivot build with new dependency and to confirm that it still builds with "mvn clean install". many time ago I wrote even a simple maven archetype for Pivot, but there was not enough interests (as always we need a successful vote before publishing stuff), so I couldn't publish it in maven repository ... but it's in svn, you can find it, and even a minimal test application (one for Java, and another in Scala :-) ): http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/skunk/pivot-archetype-quickstart/ http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/pivot-stuff/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fpivot-java-test-maven http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/pivot-stuff/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fscala-use-pivot2 > 4) I tried to convince Greg to mavenize pivot long time back, yet he was not interested. yes, I tried too ... Note that in our ant script we have many other commands, even for doing source/binary release and other tasks, so I'm not sure it worth the effort now. All major build tasks now use maven repository (maven, gradle, sbt) so a +1 for it from me ... but currently I can't do it due to a lack of time, so if someone is interested to start split tasks moving to maven, any help is welcome (and a related JIRA issue) ... Note that official Pivot-2.0.3 jars will be published in main maven repository just after the related release (with a successful vote), in the meantime you must use them from a local repository. Bye, Sandro
