---------------------------------------
Summary: Examples module cannot be built due to SNAPSHOT maven
dependencies
Key: IGNITE-17173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-17173
Project: Ignite
Issue Type: Bug
Components: examples
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha5
Reporter: Andrey Khitrin
Currently, `examples` module (in git tree) depends on `-SNAPSHOT` versions of
Apache Ignite. This easily causes inability to run them in a way described in
README.
A mere user may want to run examples in the following way:
# Clone source code from Github.
# Open examples module in IDE
# Try to run examples using instructions provided
Unfortunately, this will not work because of `-SNAPSHOT` versioning of examples
module. Snapshot builds of AI3 modules that examples module depends on are not
published on any publicly accessible repository. Hence, instead of working
example, user could only get a distracting compilation error.
In theory, there could be 2 ways to deal with it:
# Only use examples from distribution ZIP file. This version doesn't have
`-SNAPSHOT` dependencies, so it could be built easily. Alas, this way is not
quite obvious for one who get used to work with OSS via GitHub primarily. In
addition, this way is not available for pre-release testing.
# Build all dependencies (e.g., a whole AI3) from the source locally. Again,
it's not documented, and it could really take significant time. And it's still
far from the "{_}Import the examples project into your IDE{_}" claim.
Something should be done with it. Possibly, examples module should have its own
life cycle (maybe even in a separate repository). Possibly, few additional
instructions should be written for solving typical user problems described
above.
