[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-459?page=comments#action_81917 ] Henri Yandell commented on MEV-459: -----------------------------------
They've a 1.5 in the works, but I don't think there are any plans for a 1.4.1. It'd be a bit odd for them to release a 1.4.1 - "re-releasing 1.4 as 1.4.1 so the Maven repository can have a new pom". So I think a 1.4-1 would be suitable here. Or we just leave it as a known problem and tell people to exclude the dependency. > Velocity should not depend on Velocity-dep > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MEV-459 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-459 > Project: Maven Evangelism > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Vincent Massol > > If a project is using ORO in version 2.0.8 then velocity-dep clashes with it > as it includes ORO with the original package name (a really really bad > practice). > For information, the problem arises for example with > Perl5Substitution.appendSubstitution(java.lang.StringBuffer stringBuffer, > org.apache.oro.text.regex.MatchResult matchResult, int i, java.lang.String > string, org.apache.oro.text.regex.PatternMatcher patternMatcher, > org.apache.oro.text.regex.Pattern pattern) which is valid in ORO 2.0.8 but > not in the version inside velocity-dep. > This problem should be raised against the Velocity project as it should not > be allowed to internally include another external package. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
