maven-compat, maven-toolchain ??

2009-02-20 Thread pi song
Hi, I'm trying to get familiar with maven codebase. Can anyone tell me the purpose of "maven-compat" and "maven-toolchain" in the latest trunk? I would guess "maven-compat" is for backward compatibility (as it has old structures inside)? Then what about toolchain? Cheers, Pi Song

Re: will maven-dependency-tree API be replaced in Maven3?

I just had a look at Mercury artifact resolver. It currently returns a list of artifacts. I think you will need a middle man to help expose that list as simplified tree anyway (for plug-in developers). Am I right? Just want to understand a bit more. Pi Song On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 8:05 PM, Mark

will maven-dependency-tree API be replaced in Maven3?

2009-02-16 Thread pi song
I have just noticed that Maven3 is on the way. The new dependency resolver really looks very interesting. Just curious how would that affect maven-shared/maven-dependency-tree. Will this API stay the same or be replaced? Pi Song
