Looks like we have a consensus, finally :) To summarize: 1. %mvn_install will install raw POMs into /usr/share/maven-poms as this was always done 2. %mvn_install will additionally install effective POMs into some other location (perhaps /usr/share/maven-fragments) for every non-POM artifact 3. XMvn and all scripts and programs that use is (including xmvn, mvn-rpmbuild, mvn-local, %mvn_build, Tycho) will resolve effective POMs by default. With some option specified they will not resolve effective POMs, but raw POMs instead. 4. Packages will *not* Require their parent POM files because it's not required by standard dependency resolution mechanism (which will use effective POMs). Packagers will need to manually BuildRequire all necessary parent POM files if needed. 5. I will implement the described behaviour before the next Java SIG meeting and make it available in rawhide. 6. I will identify all packages that install only effective POMs and make the list publicly available (post it on the list). 7. This change in XMvn behaviour doesn't need to be reflected in Java packaging guidelines. Aleksandar, is that correct? Do you agree with that? Does anyone else have any objections about this solution? -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
