Re: [orbit-dev] orbit bundles to maven central
|
In my opinion that was largely torpedo'd when the foundation didn't take offer for the professional nexus version that has staging support. For example, there is no way I would take jetty deployments away from the
oss.sonatype.org setup and move to
maven.eclipse.org, the staging support has uncovered far too many issues on release to leave it and run the risk involved with using the
maven.eclipse.org setup as it currently stands. That and there is no sync to central that I know about setup for it.
Also the layout of the
maven.eclipse.org is confusing at best with its usage of indigo, helios, juno, nightly, integration, milestone, etc etc...dave and I talked through it a number of times and my understanding is something forced him to setup as it is...and its current setup really isn't conducive to contribution. I have the maven signing plugin in there and its a nightmare to figure out where it deploys snapshots and releases to.
So in summary I have looked and helped a bit with dash but my understanding is there are too many outside restrictions regarding the layout getting imposed on it from orbit to make it generally useful, much less have it sync to central.
I'll catch up with dave on it again and see if anything has changed though.
cheers,

The Dash project is doing some work on a Nexus repository at:
maven.eclipse.org
Making Orbit bundles available was one of their targets.
I'm not sure how far along they are. They would most likely welcome
the help in making this real.

Since we (jetty) have been putting more efforts into getting the jsp
reference implementation into orbit in a generally usable fashion (its
sadly had a few glassfish specific things creep in we have had to
patch and take up with them) we have tried to align our usage with the
bundles in orbit.
however since can't rely on orbit being durable at all, the artifacts
inside can change their versions, or the link to the actual orbit
repositories change on a whim we long ago stopped trying to consume
directory out of orbit for our maven builds, opting instead to put the
limited number of objects we require into a special directory on
downloads.eclipse.org under out jetty project and reference those
directly for building out distributions.....
Which leads me to the issue we now face, of getting the jsp bundles we
produced in orbit as a maven dependency for our jetty-maven-plugin
which is hosted out of our codehaus git repository. It _needs_ be to
able to address this jsp bundle with maven coordinates so I am going
to start putting our orbit bundles into maven central for jetty. This
is a flat out requirement for us now...our prior solution isn't
acceptable any longer now that we have our maven plugin needing to
reference this bundle.
my intent at this point is to stuff our orbit bundles under
org.mortbay.jetty.jsp.orbit, or perhaps
org.eclipse.jetty.orbit:artifactId. Ehile it would be nicer if I put
them under org.eclipse.orbit....I suspect there might be some
heartburn if I went and tried that :)
So, does anyone have any plans they want to share on how they handle
this situation? I know there have been countless discussions on this
topic on countless bugs in bugzilla, I have participated in a few of
them...but at this point we just can't wait anymore and are going to
put in a patchwork solution for the time being.
So its clear, even if orbit were to produce both p2 and maven
repositories of their content (which I believe people have said is
doable) we would still require that those maven repositories be synced
to maven central.
