I have some questions relates to the Add dependency (Repository
Search) Dialog:
1. When I type a string, where does the eclipse search? (local
repository or all maven repositories including local)?
I goes into a local index. We package index for ibiblio snapshot with
plugin releases. Obviously the one included with 0.9 release is way
outdated. However local repository automatically indexed too
(transparently when artifacts are downloaded by plugin, and also
reindexed on restart). In the head, there is also option to force
reindexing.
There are plans to have incremental updates for ibiblio index as well
as updates for proprietary repositories. But that require cooperation
with Maven team, and they are being little slow in this regard.
2. What are the search rulse (use of * and so on):
I ask this because when trying to search for "maven-scm-plugin"
I get no result, but when searching for "maven-scm-" I get among all
results the maven-scm-plugin. In addition, when trying to search for
"log4j" it shows nothing, but when searching for "log4j*" it finds the
log4j.
It is because I used default lucene tokenizer. So, for
maven-scm-plugin it produces 3 tokens, and for log4j - one "log".
Then on top of this there is some "smart" code to create lucene query.
Logic is something like this:
-- If query string has "*" then WildcardQuery is used.
-- otherwise query string is split using separators '\', '/', '.', ' '
(maybe we should add digits there too) and then PhraseQuery is
constructed using each token as a Term.
-- If on previous step split produced only one token, then TermQuery is
created for that token.
I guess we could use some unit tests to make user experience more
predicatble... I left it as is because some folks from Maven were
suggesting to use Archiva indexer and search packages instead of my own
one. Though mine is probably 30..50% smaller and allows to search by
class names...

Eugene
