Hi, Okay, I've modified the MARC4J project to be "Mavenized"... to test it out, you can clone my fork: https://github.com/ksclarke/marc4j (the 'mavenized' branch)... you'll note all the references to ksclarke/marc4j would need to be changed to marc4j/marc4j if you all want to go the full-monty-Mav

That would be super awesome if you wanted to do that, and see if you can come up with something that Bob is okay with, but makes it possible for us to actually do releases to maven, so people expecting to find releases there can find them there. I'm not sure I, or any of the other committers b

I brought marc4j under ivy; I haven't bothered with the maven artifact generation tasks, but that would be the way to go. On Nov 13, 2013 6:16 PM, "Kevin S. Clarke" wrote: > On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 6:04 PM, Robert Haschart > wrote: > > > If you mean re-organize the project so that it correspond

If you mean re-organize the project so that it corresponds to Maven's conventions for doing things, and then relying on Maven to handle dependencies and build of the project, no thank you. My experience with Maven is that it can make things that are already easy, a little bit easier, after a f

Aha, Kevin! I'm not sure, would we? Is that your advice? Do you have any interest in taking this on? There's possibly no current marc4j committers who understand how it's set up now, it's kind of just grown under various people's stewardship, I think it's possible nobody has strong opinion

2013-11-13 Thread Jonathan Rochkind
Okay, thanks Bob. I guess for the moment I might just keep using Marc4J by building it myself from master without doing an official release. I think that's probably better than halfway doing a release, like tagging it in the repo with a release tag, but without doing a proper maven release,

I have experience pushing projects into Maven's central repo through Sonatype. Maven has a standard structure (that you don't have to use, but it makes things easier/more-Maven-ish). Would you want the project reorganized into that structure in the process? Kevin On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 5:15

I believe that is one of the open issues for Marc4j. I do not know how to push a jar or a new version of a jar to a Maven repo. I believe Bill Dueber was looking into this just last month when he wrote the following to the Solrmarc list: I'm trying to get marc4j into maven central, and I d

I am a committer, but I have no idea how to do a marc4j release. There are some fixes in master repo for marc4j. I can find all the parts of the source code that seem to have a version number and change them. I can make a git tag with the version number. But what else is entailed, how do peop
