Hi all. I have a general sort of question about writing POMs. When figuring out what dependencies I need, I frequently come up against the fact that the web at large refers to package names when talking about class usage, whereas Maven refers to the name of the jar file that it comes in. So sometimes I have to go searching for what the proper artifactId is, even if I know where I could go and manually download the JAR file. For example, using Spring, I was getting ClassNotFoundExceptions for org.springframework.scripting.[various classes]. But the artifact that I needed was not called scripting, it was called spring-support.
This isn't a huge deal, just some extra time on Google, but it would be convenient if there were some kind of database that mapped actual Java packages to the names of the JAR artifacts that contain them. Does anything like that exist currently? ~Dan Allen -- This message may contain confidential, proprietary, or legally privileged information.
