Hi, everyone. I'm relatively new to the world of Java, Maven, etc., and trying to undertake a rather large packaging exercise -- packaging the dependencies for Eucalyptus. I'm finding it relatively straightforward to build ant-based packages, but maven is proving to be a bit of "dependency hell" for various reasons. In one case, I have a dependency on a single Jar from RHQ (
http://rhq-project.org/) which is literally less than 80 lines of code. I spent a few hours digging through maven dependencies and trying to disable various modules before giving up. Writing a build.xml file to just compile and bundle the jar took about 5 minutes. So the question is: is this acceptable? I would be taking a tiny bit of code from a huge project, packaging it (the rpm named as rhq-pluginAnnotation to be clear that it's just that piece) along with hand-created POM and /etc/maven/fragments/ files. This is far from ideal, but the alternative seems to be to block on getting an entire JBossAS stack into Fedora so that I can use 80 lines of code.
Any advice that you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks.
