| [m2e-users] Dependencies and bundles question |
|
Hi, I tried to use the Maven Indexer (in conjunction with Aether) separately from the m2e project. Actually, since there is no official Eclipse Aether release available yet, I only used m2e bundles including the "old" Sonatype Aether version and the indexer bundles. When analyzing the me2 bundles, I found some things not clear to me: In m2e.maven.runtime, a lot of 3rd party libraries (such as Sonatype Aether) are included. Same is true for the me2.maven.indexer and m2e.archetype.indexer bundles. On the one hand, some of these libraries are already present in the Eclipse Orbit, such as org.apache.commons.cli (and other apache commons libraries), or lucene. On the other hand, some libraries are missing to make these bundles self-contained. These missing libraries are async-http-client-1.6.5, netty-3.2.5, and slf4j-api-1.6.4. Actually, these libraries can also be found in the Orbit, albeit slf4j-api-1.6.4 is only contained in the latest Orbit version (R20120526062928). Did I miss something, like a me2 bundle containing these missing libraries, or is there a reason for this different 3rd party library management? Also, I found that some maven indexer classes contained in indexer-core-3.1.0.jar, which is bundled in m2e.maven.indexer, are also contained in the very same bundle directly (that is, unarchived in folder org/apache/maven/indexer). From a quick glance it seems as if these class files are identical to the one contained in indexer-corre-3.1.0. Is there a reason for duplicating them? Regards, Jens |
