Hi Allen, Thanks for the quick response. I think that is really great that you are considering it -- the ability to include dependencies in a project in this fashion is so huge, we don't even use things that aren't in these central locations.
> 1. are these jars just the API interface, not the object or hdfview layer? I would say they are the API interface + Object Layer. Unless there are well documented APIs to program to the hdfview layer, I wouldn't include it there. > 2. what is the process to update the repository? It is unclear to me how the current repository got there, I would have assumed you guys had pushed it up at some point? If not, it might be helpful to email the people at the mvn repository: Contact Us<[email protected]> The general documentation is here: https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html, however, it might be easiest to just start at sonatype directly: http://www.sonatype.org/central/participate This location is where a majority of the published artifacts are deposited and then made available to a variety of build tools. > 3. Are there supporting issues that we need to improve or implement? You'll probably need to create a pom.xml in order to correctly upload things to a repository -- this might require some minor changes/enhancements to the build system. It is hard to know at this point. Are you using Ant? If you are then there should be minimal hurdles. > 4. Other things ... I envision that the platform specific native libs might be a challenge, but I'm not sure. There are lots of examples up on these repos using native libs so I'm sure it is a solved problem. Let me know how I can help, I'm definitely not an expert in the area and I'm sure there are people on this list with more experience. thanks! jim On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 7:00 AM, Allen Byrne <[email protected]> wrote: > James, > > We have been discussing this issue and we will need the community's help. > My questions; > 1. are these jars just the API interface, not the object or hdfview layer? > 2. what is the process to update the repository? > 3.
