Re: [cbi-dev] How to consume eclipse orbit libraries in maven build

Maven and P2 repository formats are not compatible and not
interchangeable. Maven is not able to resolve dependencies from P2
repositories and, likewise, P2 is not able to resolve dependencies from
Maven repositories.

Hi Herbert,

Welcome to the list.

I'd like to suggest using the LTS-Ready definition as a checklist:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/LTS/LTS_Ready

As you note, the lack of orbit content and other dependencies available
through maven.eclipse.org is a lost opportunity.

On this topic, everyone, if Nexus could store compressed p2 repositories
and Maven could push/pull them, would that cover our basic needs?
Certainly it would satisfy our needs for pulling dependencies from an
Eclipse Foundation controlled source and likely make dependency
consumption more consistent over time as projects adopt this method.

If this is a good solution that covers our needs, clearly there's work
to be done to make this vision come true.

I'll add this to the agenda for our next CBI meeting February 21st so we
can discuss.

Hi All,

I am a committer on project Stardust and we are currently working on
the setup of the build process for our sources. Our build is heavily
based on Ivy and Maven, hence we need to consume our dependencies via
maven.

For the largest part of our dependencies we already have CQs in
“approved” state and especially we have got approval to reuse quite a
bit of stuff from Orbit.

Looking at the documents
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure#Maven and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Maven we were hoping to find most of what we
need in the “orbit” repository on
http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories .
Furthermore, we were hoping that we could consume approved
dependencies available from Maven central in the “central” repository
of http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories .

Is this how the repositories are intended to be used? It seems that
currently the orbit repository is empty and the “central” repository
does not provide most of what we need. What would be the process to
get approved Orbit and “central” dependencies made available via the
nexus repository?

As a side-note: It appears that we can get some of our requested
dependencies only approved as Subsets by removing problematic content.
? If modifications to the original dependency are mandated for legal
reasons, we will need a dedicated repository to hold the modified
artifacts. I assume in these cases a good approach might be to
contribute them to orbit where possible and then consume them via the
Nexus repository?

Thanks for any help on how to proceed.

Regards

Herbert
