[jboss-dev] Maven repo aggregation

[Thomas Diesler]

Hi Paul,

the issue of maven repo aggregation has poped up again during our MC 
conf-calls. There is now a JIRA issue that folks can monitor on the 
progress of this.

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBBUILD-534

Generally, I'd like to mention again that 'deploy-file' is not good 
solution because of

* with the generated POM you loose all info about transitive 
dependencies, etc.

* when you preserve/deploy the original POM you also deploy the 
dependencies on other repos

* the transitive enclosure of information for 
(groupId+artifactId+version+classifier) should be equal independent of 
the repo where you get the artifact from

cheers
