What does the TODO refering to a "jarjar" format in the
maven-assembly-plugin jar-with-dependencies example mean?
Hello everyone,
a question on Stack Overflow made me curious about the following line
in the jar-with-dependencies example descriptor file
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html#jar-with-dependencies):
<!-- TODO: a jarjar format would be better -->
What does this mean? Is it refering to jarjar
(https://code.google.com/p/jarjar/) or to something like what the
Spring Boot Maven plugin does?
Thanks for any insight!
Timo

So if you have type=jar then dependencies of that artifact are transitive.
What I suspect was intended was to introduce a new packaging type (i.e.
jarjar) that was added to the classpath but does not pull in dependencies
to indicate a jar with its dependencies included...
At least that is what my gut tells me might have been the reason... no clue
if it actually is the reason however!

Anyone? If nobody knows what the comment is for, I vote to remove it,
if I may. I'm sure I'm not the only one being confused about it.

Thanks for the insight! I guess we'll have to hope for more info from
Brett. Since the TODO is obviously over 10 years old, maybe it should
be removed so as not to confuse users.

SVN says Brett posted that file (over 10 yrs ago), so maybe he can tell us more:
"Added Mon Apr 18 07:07:58 2005 UTC (10 years, 4 months ago) by brett"
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/tags/maven-assembly-plugin-2.5.5/src/main/resources/assemblies/jar-with-dependencies.xml?view=log
I scanned quickly and found some files in the JarJar project you
linked to that date back to Aug 2004, so I suspect that is what he is
talking about, but can't really be certain...
