Hi Folks,
From what I know the incubator PMC may not approve releases that depends on
SNAPSHOTS. I maybe wrong, but it's better to find this out.
Cliff, can you please confirm? Regards, Rajith On 11/15/06, Marnie McCormack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
IIRC when Steve initially proposed introducing maven to the project we had some debate, but it seems like there might be limitations/constraints imposed that we didn't understand (as a group). I can also see, from Daniel's posts, that other projects who use maven would like us to follow suit as it'll make their lives easier. So, there are pros & cons. What I think would be very helpful though (as others have indicated) is a list of the things we can't do with maven (that might impact us) ? We can then agree a way round/accept the limitation/other as appropriate. I know there have been a few items discussed in previous threads, and I'm not very clear on where these things are at e.g. resolved, tricky but fixable or really not possible. So, for example, javadoc inclusion, mina snapshot, etc. One way to do make where we are with maven clear would be to raise JIRAs for the outstanding items. That way we can all see where we are, and discuss anything truly significant. It may be that you've already been able to resolve the items on Martin's list Steve ? No time pressure from my perspective, just a sense that we're perhaps a bit muddy at the moment. Also Steve - if you could still do with a hand, JIRAs would be a good way to get others involved now that M1 is pretty much done ?
