Re: [gatein-dev] Thirdparty clarification

I deployed this pom 1.1.0-Beta02 : https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/gatein/gatei... why don't you see it ? why is now everyone wanting to compile Shindig now :-) ?

It may seem a bit heavy but in fact this serve the purpose that updating a lib has often consequences at the integration level of the whole server. So indeed if one version must be changed or added, this should be done in this gatein-dep pom. Actually this helped me to find out dated libraries in gatein that were expected by Shindig at runtime but were not satisfied (now the Shindig fork uses the gatein-dep as it has many dependencies). >> >> The gatein-dep pom can be found here http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/gatein/maven/dep/trunk/ >> >> It is integrated in gatein by a declaration in the parent pom: >> >> <dependency> >> <groupId>org.gatein</groupId> >> <artifactId>gatein-dep</artifactId> >> <version>1.1.0-Beta03</version> >> <type>pom</type> >> <scope>import</scope> >> </dependency> >> >> Of course it does not mean you cannot override a version in your own pom when you need to test something like adding a new library or changing a version to test something. Actually this can be done by changing the parent pom in your local copy. When you think something should be changed or added, then you should raise the concern to get this change in the gatein-dep pom. >> >> cheers >> >> Julien >> _______________________________________________ >> gatein-dev mailing list >> gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/gatein-dev > >
