Hello, the castor maven plugin is currently at version 2.0-alpha1 and depends on castor-codegen 1.1.2.1. I tried to follow the description here: http://www.castor.org/srcgen-maven-plugin.html about how to add dependencies on newer versions of castor-codegen and added <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.castor</groupId> <artifactId>castor-codegen</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> </dependency>
My first surprise was that transitive dependency fetching does not seem to work for dependencies of plugins: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-How-to-manipulate-the-classpath-in-which-a-maven-plugin-operates-p19776574.html I've added the dependencies manually. But I get a second problem: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration I see that the LocalConfiguration class is not part of the 1.2 series of castor jars any longer: http://www.findjar.com/class/org/exolab/castor/util/LocalConfiguration.html Most likely the problem is that the plugin depends on that class, but newer versions of the castor libraries do not provide it any more. Therefore I guess the description at: http://www.castor.org/srcgen-maven-plugin.html is defunct. The only solution I see would be to create an update for the plugin. Is such an update planned any time soon? I would not like to host a patched version of the plugin in my private repository. Thank you very much for any comments! -- Christian Schuhegger http://www.el-chef.de/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/does-an-update-of-the-castor-maven-plugin-exist--tp19777156p19777156.html Sent from the Castor - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
