[iam-dev] Re: [technology-pmc] Advice on how to request pre-req dependency for the Maven Embedder
|
I don't have a date (maybe Eugene knows better), but we could ask for
an estimation to maven developers if that's important.
However, our mentors suggested we start processing dependencies so we
can later upgrade them faster.
The first alpha is expected to be released this week [1], so it looks
like the right time to start processing the embedder.
As Eugene noted, the embedder is not yet stable and dependencies might
come and go, so a pre-req dependency seems to fit better than a full
IP review of each of the embedder components and its dependencies.
Anyway, older embedder versions have been used by q4e (now Eclipse
IAM) and m2eclipse (now Eclipse m2e). It is also used to provide maven
suport in other IDEs. So even if the latest version is not top-quality
yet, the dependency on older versions still applies.

Any idea how far away the maven embedder is from a real release?

Hello PMC,
The IAM (http://www.eclipse.org/iam) team would like to request pmc
approval
and guidance for declaring a pre-req dependency on the maven
embedder.
The maven embedder is a set of libraries that allow the use of
maven from a
host application (in this case, IAM).
The maven embedder is still under development (i.e. not released)
so we are
asking for a pre-req dependency to be able to use snapshots of
current
development. Our goal will be to process CQs for the embedder
components
once they reach the beta or release status, as adviced by the IP
team.
The maven embedder is part of maven 3.0 and developed at the apache
foundation. Its dependencies are either ASL or MIT licensed.
The packaging of the embedder components as an eclipse bundle (and
feature)
is currently done on a non-eclipse project at googlecode (
http://q4e.googlecode.com). Another packaging is also available
from the m2e
project (also outside of eclipse).
