But I'm wondering what are the <prefixes> then used for and how to test whether my set-up is correct. Prefixes and metadataRepositories are used for locating metadata in different formats. The former ones are for the old format (JPackage "depmaps") while the latter are for "new metadata" that is specific to XMvn. Current versions of XMvn don't support depmaps any longer, so prefixes are not used. In configuration file format I kept prefixes for backwards-compatibility, so that trying to parse some old config files wouldn't lead to parse errors. But I think now it's time to remove prefixes altogether. -- Mikolaj Izdebski _______________________________________________ java-devel mailing list -- java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to java-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
