I want to allow Gump to use Depot to download jars from a repository (when legal) so we don't have to manually install/distribute packages (or, keep it to a minimum). My goal is to take this to 'personal cascaded Gumps', i.e. where a user builds less and less & just automatically downloads the latest Gumped jars from an upstream Gump.
We now have a third type of repository called 'artifact' (to match CVs and SVN) that might point to (say) http://www.ibiblio.com/maven (the root of a named repository). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <repository name="artifact_repository1" type="artifact"> <title>Artifact Repository 1</title> <home-page>http://svn.apache.org/</home-page> <web>http://artifact.apache.org/</web> <redistributable/></repository>We now have a third type of repository reference (in a module) that defines the 'group'. <artifacts repository="artifact_repository1" group="test"/> As such, Gump can launch depot with those two pieces of information to download the latest artifacts from that repository, for that group. [I need to think about adding a version number to that element, but later.] The next step is how we bind this in to the projects (and into how Gump constructs classpaths and/or passes jars to Maven). Clearly we have <jar entries in the project definitions, and these are starting to get id=artifact id, so we can take the list of files that are downloaded and (with some luck) bind each file to an artifact id. If that works (and the issues is file naming of artifacts) we ought be good to go. There will be some tweaks to allow a project overridden as a download, to override a build (like packaging), and things like this, but we'll see about that when we get there.
