thirdparty module needs updating -------------------------------- Key: JBAS-1308 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1308 Project: JBoss Application Server Type: Bug Components: Build System Environment: N/A Reporter: Charles Crouch Assigned to: Scott M Stark Priority: Minor
There are a number of issues with the contents of the thirdparty module in sourceforge CVS: 1) Jars are duplicated within the module, e.g. commons-logging (v1.0.1-dev) is in thirdparty/apache/struts/lib/ and also (v1.0.3) in thirdparty/apache/commons/lib/. If we need to maintain multiple versions of a single jar then they should be kept in the same folder and clearly differentiated by including the version in the jar file name. 2) Not all jars in the thirdparty module are described in thirdparty/licenses/thirdparty-licenses.xml, e.g. none of the jars in the ibm folder. Plus it needs to be tidied up to remove stuff like this: <module name="odmg" licenseType="lgpl" version="3.8.1" projectHome="http://www.junit.org/index.htm" description="Java unit testing framework"> <jar name="odmg-3.0.jar" /> </module> 3) To quote Scott "The thirdparty and licenses contents needs to be kept consistent and up to date. If this is not the case it needs to be fixed.". It would be nice if we there was some automated process we could use to keep things consistent. At worst we could update the thirdparty/README/README.txt to include needing to update the thirdparty-licenses.xml. I think the biggest incentive to get people to follow the README is if more of the existing projects followed it. hsqldb is a great example but most of the other folders just contains jars. Off Topic... This is one of the reasons why I like www.ibiblio.org/maven, it makes this whole area "Not Our Problem". But it is slow as molasses. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
