Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to anyone who is wondering where HAPI 2.1 is. At this
point there are no remaining showstoppers blocking release, so we should be
out very soon. I would say that it should be safe for anyone doing new
development to begin using the 2-1-beta1 release, with the expectation that
they can migrate to the final shortly.
If anyone is curious, the only thing blocking our release is an issue with
the structures JAR builds. The HAPI structures are generated using the HL7
database, which is an Access DB. The hapi-sourcegen project reads this DB
using the Microsoft Access ODBC bridge, which they have only ever released
for 32 bit windows (grrrr) so the HAPI build is done on a Windows XP
virtual machine. At this point, the structures JARs are generating so many
files in each JAR that we are hitting some kind of "maximum line length"
limit in XP because of the way that the Maven Compiler plugin uses Javac.
We worked around this in the last release by doing the generation step in
XP and them doing the compile step in OSX, but this was clunky and I feel
like it's bound to fail one day and cause us to release a JAR that is
missing files.
The holdup therefore has been trying to diagnose why maven-compiler is
failing. I feel like we're almost there!
Cheers,
James
