Bug#872842: libplexus-component-metadata-java: Please provide a debian symlink in Maven

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Actually plexus-component-metadata is a Maven plugin, and Maven plugins
can't have a generic 'debian' or '1.x' version (Maven refuses to load
the plugin because the version of the pom mismatches the version in the
plugin metadata).

Packages depending on libplexus-component-metadata-java should use a
rule like this one:

org.codehaus.plexus plexus-component-metadata maven-plugin s/1.7/1.5.5/

Bug#872842: libplexus-component-metadata-java: Please provide a debian symlink in Maven

[Miguel Landaeta]

Package: libplexus-component-metadata-java
Severity: normal
Version: 1.7.1-4

Hi,

This package should provide a stable symlink version in Maven like:

/usr/share/maven-repo/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-component-metadata/1.x/plexus-component-metadata-1.x.pom

or

/usr/share/maven-repo/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-component-metadata/debian/plexus-component-metadata-debian.pom

This is not currently available and it forces users to hardcode the
shipped version information, i.e.:

/usr/share/maven-repo/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-component-metadata/1.5.5/plexus-component-metadata-1.5.5.pom

Thanks,
Miguel.
