MavenUpdate

Maven Update

There is a lot of work to do to update the version of Maven in Fedora.

Maven 2.0.8

While this version of Maven is old, it is newer than what we have (2.0.4) and can hopefully be readied for Fedora 12. The main tracker bug is bug 429551. Be sure to file any issues that are a part of this work as blockers of that bug.

Packages that need work

The following list ordering is important. Many of the below are "Pre-Review Requests". We should just turn them into full review requests. The Java packaging guidelines and regular packaging guidelines must be followed.

• maven2-common-poms (update) -- ready to be built (overholt, 2009-08-18) built
• maven-wagon (update) built
• saxpath (new package) build
• backport-util-concurrent (new package) (akurtakov would like to fix packages to use java.util.concurrent directly instead of this back-port)
• aqute-bndlib (new package) built
• pmd (pom file added) built
• plexus-classworlds (new package, pre-review already imported to CVS, full review request) built
• plexus-utils (update) built
• plexus-containers (up for review, old pre-review request) build
• modello (update) build
• itext (add POM; what needs this? patch, pom file)
• plexus-cdc build
• plexus-maven-plugin (tagged,build)
• plexus-xmlrpc (no work needed)
• plexus-cli (old pre-review request) built
• plexus-digest (old pre-review request) built
• dumbster build
• plexus-mail-sender (old pre-review request) built
• plexus-velocity built
• directory-naming build
• jakarta-commons-jxpath (new package) (build)
• jakarta-commons-configuration build
• jakarta-commons-dbcp (update) build
• pre-review request easymock (1.x) (build)
• javacvs (see bug 500259#c3; this package: netbeans-ide11 contains the same JAR and I think we'll just need to add the POM file to it (assuming API stability))

At this point, maven2 should be buildable in bootstrap mode (toggle the bootstrap flag in the spec).

• maven-surefire (update to 2.3) built
• maven2-plugin-shade (new package)
• plexus-resources (new package)
• plexus-naming (new package)
• plexus-registry (new package)
• maven-doxia (update)
• maven-doxia-sitetools (new package)
• maven-shared (update)
• maven-plugins-tools (new package)
• maven-embedder (new package)
• maven-scm (update; will need to be changed for the javacvs -> netbeans-ide10 change)
• maven-enforcer-rule-api (new package)
• maven-archiver (new package)

Maven 2.20

This is the most recent version of Maven (as of 2009-08-18). In order to simplify things, we have discussed the idea of splitting the Maven plugins into individual SRPMs. This will be a lot of initial work but will pay off by lessening long-term maintenance.
