Hi all, after leaving the Flex project I sort of lost the need for supporting alternate dependency strategies. Now in PLC4X we’re currently starting to work on the C and C++ versions of our PLC drivers. This brings the old problem up again that not all programming languages have the same super-simple dependency types as Java has them.
I remember us discussing options to provide extensions for maven, that for example the type of a pom would not only pull in a dedicated lifecycle mapping, but also provide an alternate dependency resolution mechanism. In the C/C++ world we unfortunately have things like static and dynamic linking etc. I would really like to not start with hacks as I always did them in Flex and Flexmojos (which is now no longer possible anyway).
