What's new in XMvn 2.0.0
XMvn 2.0.0 was released on 2014-05-29. Most important changes
include:
* Major features
* New metadata format
XMvn 2.0.0 now reads and writes the new Javapackages metadata
format instead of dependency maps. Read-only depmap support
remains, but was deprecated.
* Ivy integration
Starting with version 2.0.0 XMvn provides a connector for Apache
Ivy which enables Ivy or its clients to have access to XMvn
resolver and deployer.
This feature enables Ant build scripts using Ivy tasks or other
build systems that use Ivy to use local system artifact
repository to resolve dependencies and more, making Ivy a
first-class citizen among other build systems.
* Artifact deployment
Starting with version 2.0.0 XMvn provides an API to deploy
artifacts to system repositories.
* API separation
XMvn 2.0.0 ships with a separate API module, which makes it more
clear which parts of XMvn are part of public interface and which
are considered as implementation details.
* Class loader isolation
XMvn 2.0.0 Core implementation is now using an isolated class
loader to prevent unwanted classes from polluting Maven Core or
user classpath.
* Minor features
* Improved logging
XMvn logging was ported from Plexus to SLF4J. This makes it
possible to easily set different logging levels for different
subsystems as well as use a custom backend.
Besides that some logging messages were improved and new ones
were added.
* Dependency version report
At the end of a build XMvn can now print a dependency version
report, which contains information about requested and resolved
dependency artifact versions.
* Improved Tycho integration
XMvn 2.0.0 works better with Eclipse Tycho. In particular
system-scoped OSGi dependencies injected by Tycho are now
ignored and don't cause installation failures any longer.
* Repository filtering
XMvn 2.0.0 improves artifact filtering for installation
repositories.
* Other changes
* Migration to JSR-330
Internal dependency injection mechanisms were migrated from Sisu
Plexus to Sisu Inject, which provides JSR-330-compatible IoC
mechanisms.
* XMvn Connector rename
<<<xmvn-connector>>> module was renamed to
<<<xmvn-connector-aether>>> to reflect addition of the new
<<<xmvn-connector-ivy>>> module.
* Removal of deprecated API
Parts of XMvn API which were marked as deprecated were removed.
* Namespace cleanup
Java package names were renamed from
<<<org.fedoraproject.maven>>> to <<<org.fedoraproject.maven>>>.
* XMvn Installer rewrite
XMvn Installer was rewritten from scratch in 2.0.0 and a new
pluggable API was added.
* Effective POM installation
Effective POM's are no longer installed during package build.
XMvn resolver is able to generate them on demand during package
build from the new Javapackages metadata.
