Hi Leo,

Thanks for the reply.  I'll give Gump2 a closer look then.

By the way - I am also interested in the Apache Depot project that is 
linked to from the Gump page.  Unfortunately there is no code or even

when this will be available?  Does Gump use it?

Hi, Leo

Thanks for pointing me to a solution for fix the xalan build. However, I 
found there is not a type attribute for work. In order to build 
xalan-unbundled.jar with JDK1.4, we need to add 
%Xalan-workspace%/build/classes to the boot classpath. (Assume that 
build.sysclasspath=only). 

Did I miss anything or is there any other solution without changing the 
build.sysclasspath setting?

Hi,

I investigated the failed gump build for xml-xalan before I went on 
vacation. From the error message, it looks like that there are some 
classpath setting issues. I have no objections to your temporary solution 
and I would like to collaborate to get this problem resolved as a 
developer for xalan. 

I have no problem to build Xalan Head with both Sun JDK1.4.0_03 on 
Windows2000 (and the nightly ant build) as an independent project. Because 
of lack of information about the nightly gump build, I don't know what I 
can do at this moment. 

Would you please let me know how I can reproduce the failed build?
1. version of JDK
2. jar files on the bootclasspath
3. jar files and classes on classpath, etc. 
4. Is there anyway that I can access archive of the gump build?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

 I'd like to get directory finalised (which depends on this), and would

 Is it possible to do this:

I can propose a short term solution;
Revert the Excalibur packages in Gump back to the one sitting in the frozen 
avalon-excalibur CVS, which builds close to perfectly in Gump (I think 
there is the altrmi instrumentation packages that fails as a dep on altrmi, 
or something like that.) 

Then we take the Excalibur Maven projects and name them slightly different, so 
we can sort that out without holding up all the projects downstream.

 But the *most* serious concern is that we seem to have no way to build

 with Maven and, due to excalibur, this is holding up basically 15 
 percent of our projects (including, yes, you guessed right, cocoon).

Fast track solution could be to put the last released jar files into an
excalibur-releases module with project ids matching the current set of
ids, and disable the existing excalibur descriptors pending resolution
of gump/maven equation (see below).

 The problem with maven is that I don't know how we can inject the 
 gump-generated dependency jars into maven.

Maven is fine on the injection stuff - basically it used a jar
override property that tells maven to use the jar file named in a
property value as the actual jar to bind against.  The problem is the
generation of the property files (by gump's maven builder).

 Does anybody have an idea?

Gump uses a namespace made of a project id and an optional output key.
Maven uses a combination of group and artifact name combination.  If we
take for example - the jar file produced by ant containing the junit
optional task is referenced in gump as:

   project: ant
   id: junit

In Maven the same jar file is normally referenced as:

   groupId: ant
   artifactId: ant-junit

When Gump's maven builder generates the proprieties file used during the
maven build, it uses the gump project model to establish the set of
dependencies and for each dump declared dependency (with full
inheritance of dependencies) create a property with the following name
and value:

maven.jar.junit=/usr/local/gump/public/workspace/ant/dist/lib/ant-junit.
jar

Problem here is that:

  1. this property definition does not correspond to anything 
 declared in the target project's project.xml (because the 
 property is derived from the gump based dependencies - not
 the project's declared dependencies)

  2. the strategy for mapping of gump artifact keys to maven 
 artifact keys is basically broken in that duplicate property
 names can be generated (e.g. the property name generated for 
 the main JUnit project jar file is maven.jar.junit)

The solution to this problem is to drive the property file generation
off the project.xml file and NOT the gump dependency graph. This will
solve most issues because it will result in a much smaller set of
properties - but an underlying problem needs to be solved - namely the
declaration within a maven project of any mappings between maven
artifact names to gump project keys (e.g. ant/ant-junit -- ant:junit).
These mappings need to be used by the maven gump task when generating a
maven project descriptor.

Stephen,
thanks much for your input. Some comments below.

Yes, that might be an ad-hoc solution and it might work for now since 
there are not so many maven projects in our tree anyway (just checked).

Can you provide such a 'fake' descriptor? i think it would be much 
faster than me trying to hack one up.

The problem with maven is that I don't know how we can inject the

fork (sorry Windows).

Beyond those two the next biggest hurdle is the markup that is produced. 
 If that is relatively straightforward (in other words, uses techniques 
like CSS instead of things like spacer gifs and nested tables), then 
building CGIs is downright trivial.

If we can settle on an authentication mechanism, and agree to not worry 
about Windows initially, and get a clean CSS-based skin for gump pages, 
I can start picking off tasks from Adam's original list.

If this was available I would definitely use it to post details about 
what is going on relative to the projects I'm associated with. 
Furthermore - it would provide an extra hint that there is someone 
somewhere dealing with a problem as opposed to waiting n days for a 
change in status - which is something I would find really valuable in 
terms of projects I'm dependent on.

Cheers, Steve.

you know, we do have one of the authorities on blogging and syndication 
right here as a resident gump meister. Someone who happens to know 
python rather well to boot. And someone who's itching to write code 
according to his blog...
