Re: [rules-dev] OSGi ready commit gives problems

Hi guys, The OSGi ready commit on trunk of a couple of days ago, changed many pom.xml files, including the Drools core and Drools Planner pom.xml's. For example, something like this: <dependency> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> </dependency> Became: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>com.springsource.org.apache.commons.lang</artifactId> </dependency> See for example this pom.xml file: http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/JBossRules/trunk/drools-planner/drools-pl... This gives rise to 2 problems: 1) It uses different groupId:artifactId's! The ramifications of this are big & very backward incompatible: Lets say project X depends on drools: - X excludes commons-lang:commons-lang from the drools dependency, now he'll get it anyway, because org.apache.commons:com.springsource.org.apache.commons.lang is something else - X depends on commons-lang:commons-lang, now he'll get it twice - X depends on commons-lang:commons-lang in a different version, now he'll get it twice and maven will not get a change to do version conflict resolution (picking the highest), now he'll get it twice and drools might end up being run with a too low commons-lang version! Remember: most users don't use OSGi and don't like a "com.springsource" in their artifactId's. 2) Build problems too apparently: <nheron> Project ID: org.drools.planner:drools-planner-core <nheron> POM Location: /home/nheron/workspace-IntellJ-planner/drools-planner-core/pom.xml <nheron> Validation Messages: <nheron> [0] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for org.apache.commons:com.springsource.org.apache.commons.lang <nheron> [1] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for org.apache.commons:com.springsource.org.apache.commons.io <nheron> [2] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for com.thoughtworks.xstream:com.springsource.com.thoughtworks.xstream Because it is backward incompatible, I propose to shelve the OSGi ready changes till drools 6.0? -- With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet _______________________________________________ rules-dev mailing list rules-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-dev
