[opencms-dev] We have setup a public OpenCms Maven2 Repository

[Brabenetz, Harald]

Hi Martin,

You are right, but at least the four-digits (patched) Versions are unique :)

I don't believe that Alkacon will create Maven Artifacts for OpnCms 7.x (Maybe for 8.x?)
There would be some Problems:
At least the OpenCms Module "org.opencms.workplace.administration" Version 7.5.1 is not unique.
There are two difference versions of this Module released with OpenCms 7.5.1 and 7.5.2
which are not compatible to each other but have the same Version number.

Also http://www.comundus.com/ creates there own Maven Repo:
http://opencms-wiki.org/Fully_automated_builds_with_the_OpenCms-Maven-Plugin

It's mess that there are so many separated Maven Repository with different opencms-Artifacts.
This could only end if Alkacon change their build-process to Maven.
But this changes costs time and money and nobody want to pay it...

kind regards,
Harald

Hi Harald! Hi Shi!

Providing maven artifacts for a third party (like OpenCms) might be a problem
if you choose an artifact- and group-id like you did. The groupId, artifactId
and version together (GAV) identify a maven artifact. Any artifact should be
unique (that's a principal of maven).

Imagine Alkacon providing their own maven repository some day, with the same
GAV as one of you did. Then, their are differen JARs around for with the same
ID (GAV) which would lead to problems (see also [0]).
