Hi Maven folks,
Apache NetBeans is under incubation right know and we would like to publish it to maven central. Apache NetBeans is built using Ant. A maven tools done by Milos Kleint at mojohaus take the built items and populate a maven repository making a set of file (pom,jar and nbm). Tool try to get dependencies from maven central. If tool fail to find it populate a jar of the dependencies. All this pom are without licence now. It's about 500M in size (but it will grow as more code donation are expected). At the time NetBeans was at Oracle, each release or beta were published with the following version scheme RELEASEnnn, or RELEASEnnn-BETA nightly build were released as dev-SNAPSHOT and SNAPSHOT the snapshot repository were deleted before each nightly publication to avoid hard drive space issue. What would be a good way to get artifacts publish to maven central? (is Apache Archiva an option?) What is the minimal pom.xml section to have? Many thanks Regards Eric Barboni(skygo)
