[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Jar hell

[julien@jboss.com]

The detachment of the modules is starting to produce a jar hell :-) which was expectable because we need to use a snapshot mechanism to produce "snapshot" libs. And it produces lot of management additional work.

So soon we probably will need to migrate to maven2 since it is designed to solve this kind of problems. Other JBoss projects which have already migrated to maven do make the distinction between 2 kind of repositories, one for released versions and one for snapshots versions. I think that snapshot repository is rebuild automatically (which makes sense to me).

You can find more about it here : http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Maven

So for now we are going to continue to resolve this by ourselves (since mostly myself and bolek are working on detached modules, it's not much hard). Until we have completed the maven migration.
