Scott M Stark updated JBAS-1308:
--------------------------------
Assign To: Ryan Campbell (was: Scott M Stark)
> 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
> Assignee: Ryan Campbell
> 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.
