The xdoclet modules are a very good example where this would help a lot. They have hidden dependencies amongst each other and its a nightmare to figure them out. The purpose why you want the pom and why not was not clear to me at the beginning. And other people might be as stupid as I am ;-). So if you don't mind I add a couple of things to http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html to make the idea behind the concept clearer and post the new version to the developer mailing list.
I'm confused about how to do a proper upload request, although I've read the page http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html.
I don't want to upload one of my projects. I want to give notice, that for a project which is already hosted by ibiblio.org/maven there is a newer version. For example the newest version for http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/quartz/jars/ at ibiblio is 1.2.3 but there is already 1.3.4 out.
So in such a case I can't see the point for step 1 of http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html.
Therefore I have posted a Jira Request just with the download URL of the new version of quartz and stating that this is a new version of an existing project in ibiblio. Jason van Zyl closed the issue as incomplete and pointed to http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html.
How do I post a proper upload request for my use case?
You always make bundle now, period. Deploying a POM with each version
will be vital to support things like transitive dependencies and it is
not impossible that your license may change. For each deployment to
ibiblio the artifact must be accompanied by its corresponding POM and
license. Eventually we will get better with license handling so that the
version is distinct too. But if you use the repository plugin then you
don't have to worry about any of these details.
Thank you
Hans
