[jboss-dev] Maven repo aggregation

[Thomas Diesler]

Folks,

there are a number of projects which have dependencies on non jboss 
maven repos (jboss-osgi is one of them)

http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4235779#4235779

I believe, this issue is general enough to have proper repo aggregation 
setup somehow

Here is a link to some aggregators

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+Repository+Manager+Feature+Matrix

Is this a way you want to move forward or should we stick with manually 
copying individual artefacts to the jboss repo? Please note, that by 
doing so (i.e. mvn deploy-file) you loose the original pom and hence the 
information on transitive dependencies.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html

In the jboss repo, there are many artefacts with a generated 
(meaningless) pom already.


cheers
