Hello everybody.
I have two suggestions for the next maven versions:
1) I'd like to have a remote repository accessible through FTP. By now the only
supported protocol is HTTP, afaik.
My company refuses to set up another apache instance only for storing artifacts.
2) It would be very useful for continuos integration if the dependency tag could have
a <mode> nested element, which could assume "retrieve" or "build" as possible values.
When mode is "retrieve" the dependency will be resolved in the traditional way, i.e.
retrieving the artifact, but when mode is "build" the dependant project is checked out
from CVS and built, and the resulting artifact is then put into the local repository.
I'll probably implement these features myself because I need them and should be quite
easy to implement, but I'd like to know if similar things are going to be included in
the next versions.
Thank you!
Carlo
