Ate Douma commented on SHINDIG-1691:
------------------------------------
As an example why this issue is quite important:
See (just) encountered problem at Apache Rave, where we ended up with duplicate
jars in our war overlay on shindig-server because maven cannot check and align
'inherited' dependencies from wars: RAVE-453
> Maven project enhancements to improve embedding and extending shindig-server
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHINDIG-1691
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1691
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build, Java
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Ate Douma
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> As proposed on dev@shindig mailing list before, this issue is about
> enhancements for the Maven build configuration and modules to improve
> embedding and extending shindig-server for downstream projects like Apache
> Rave and further.
> The full proposal thread can be found here:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/shindig-dev/201201.mbox/%3C4F1F68F8.5010801%40douma.nu%3E
> In short, my proposal is the following, and I'll post a patch for these
> changes up for review shortly:
> a) Move java/server/src/main/java/* (sample container code)
> to new jar module java/sample-container
> b) Move java/server/src/main/webapps/*
> to new (shallow) war module java/server-resources
> c) Move resources currently merged into server module from ./../content and
> ../../config also into new (shallow) war module java/server-resources
> d) Add new pom module java/server-dependencies which (only) defines
> the runtime dependencies needed for the shindig-server module
> Note: this should also add new dependency on shindig-sample-container
> e) The remainder of the shindig-server module then only needs to have
> dependencies on the shindig-server-resources (war overlay) and
> shindig-server-dependencies (pom), as well as some needed test only
> dependencies for the remaining "endtoend" unit-tests
> The end result of the above will again be a shindig-server war equal to the
> current shindig-server war but now downstream users can more easily embed and
> extend it, with proper maven (transitive) dependency resolution support.
> The above changes really are quite trivial and will have zero impact for
> development and current end usages.
