Just wanted to forward this email from the Glassfish dev list to Maven users, as it contains useful/interesting information for a lot of people... Sun seems pretty committed to deploying Maven artifacts for all Glassfish components, and perhaps other projects as well, which is great news for us Maven users. ;-)
Wayne ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jun 10, 2006 12:22 PM Subject: Wanted: Improving the Maven story for GlassFish... To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We just pushed a few more components to our maven repository (see http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/theaquarium?entry=java_persistence_and_ejb_jars) and we will continue adding components, and I expect that, as part of GlassFish v2, we will normalize and automate the creation of these components. The intention is to make this repository serve the larger Java Community. This is something that, over the years, Sun has been asked to do, and now, with the Open Source focus, we can deliver on. I have already seen people starting to use javamail and activation from there, and I think it would be useful to spend some energy in making the repository as useful as possible. Probably the first thing to do is to start collecting ideas of what needs to be done. By my tally we have: Components JavaPersistence API, TopLink Essentials, JSTL 1.2, JSP 2.0, Servlet 2.4, JSF 1.1, JSF 1.2 FastInfoset, XMLStream JavaMail Java Activation Framework JAXB JAX-WS, SAAJ Relatives Facelets Tools GF uses Japex Dalma What components are clearly missing? Bill was talking about doing a javaee.jar just for the APIs. I noticed that JAX-RPC seems missing and that should be easy to add, so I just sent a ping to Doug about it. What else should we do? Some thoughts... * We need a better index than the blogs at TA... :-) * Regular announcements somewhere (including the Maven USERS mailing list) * Synchronization with ibiblio? * Better integration with NB/Eclipse support? What else? Who has expertise in this area?
