Hi there I am one of the eXist developers. We certainly are interested in what our users want, but as yet we have only had 2 or 3 express an interest in using Maven it is unfortunately not a top priority for us at the present time.
I myself am a big fan of Maven, and would love to do a port of eXist from Ant (we are heavily invested), over to Maven. Unfortunately I just don't have enough hours in the day at present to undertake this. If there is an experienced Maven developer out there that might be interested in contributing such changes then I would certainly encourage that. For the time being the solution is really to place eXist and its dependencies into your own artifact repository (either local or server e.g. Artifactory et al.) Thanks Adam. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 May 2010 19:00 To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: eXist native XML database > I'm working on maven project and I need to use embedded eXist database. > Unfortunatelly, there is only 5 years old version in repo1.maven.org. You need to get the eXist people to do the uploads for newer versions of their files. If enough eXist users and developers care about Maven, they will do it. > how could I tell maven developers to add required packages to the > repository? You don't. If you can't get the eXist folks to get it done, you will need to (less ideally) manually install them into your own local repo cache on each machine that will build your project or (more ideally) install something like Nexus, Archiva, Artifactory and install them there so your coworkers can use the artifacts too.
