Hi,
Thanks to a big push by Herve Boutemy we have a lot of improvements
to the Maven Ant Tasks and accompanying documentation.
Thanks for your time committing patches.
We can probably do another release shortly.
This time, Maven Ant Tasks 2.0.7 could be ready before Maven 2.0.7
itself :)
Heh, yah we should probably just stick with 2.0.6.1 not to confuse
people ... We need to come up with a standard versioning system for
tools based on a fixed version of another tool.
Herve, if you want to continue with some work on the tasks I think if
we focus on cleaning up the actual Ant task code and correcting the
issues there then we can tackle some bigger issues. The one thing
that is sorely lacking are some tests of the tasks.
That's the rationale behind MANTTASKS-69, then MANTTASKS-18 (I'll
have to
rework it after MANTTASKS-69 has been commited).
Is there a standard testing harness for Ant tasks that we could
employ?
MANTTASKS-18 contains some simple tests. For more extended ones,
AntUnit seems
to be a good candidate: http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/antunit/.
I'll have to
try...
Cool, I'll take a quick look and see if anyone else has some
opinions. I don't mind heavily refactoring some bits but we need some
tests first.
Also if
you have any categories you want to add to JIRA to make tracking
issues easier let me know and I'll add them.
No, I have no idea for the moment.
For anyone interested in the issues you can find them here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?
reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/
field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=11533&fixfor=-1
After a little more cleanup I would like to use the Embedder in the
trunk version and create a facade for the Embedder in the branch so
that we can at least keep the Ant task code in sync. If all access is
then done through the embedder and embedder facade then it should be
manageable to keep them in sync. I would like to hide all the
artifact resolution details and after looking at the code for a we do
need full integration with Maven itself. We need to use POMs and
Settings and the behavior there has to be the same as it is in Maven
so that when people migrate completely over to Maven the behavior
remains consistent.
I don't really understand what the Embedder is, but the intend is very
interesting.
Single point of entry for any Maven functionality.
I think we can do a release with all the fixes that have been made in
last few days and then we can tackle adding some testing and using
the embedder (or embedder facade).
I'm really interested in SNAPSHOT handling, both for download und
deploy:
MANTTASKS-18, 23, 67. I don't know if Embedder is nedded for that.
But unit
tests are a first step I'll work on for MANTTASKS-18.
Not needed for it, but we should start using it. Basically if you put
all the required download functionality in a class called Embedder in
the branch then you'll have something like we will on the trunk.
There are some suggestions for
some very useful features like calculating the build order so people
can do pseudo reactor builds in Maven. This gives people another
bridge into Maven capabilities without making the full leap which
makes migration easier.
Thanks for all your work Herve, the Ant tasks are starting to look
and work a lot better.
Thanks for your help.
No problem, thanks for all the patches and patience.
