[Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Cassandra 0.7.0-rc4 is now available from the Maven Central Repository.

Apache Maven
---------------------

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cassandra</groupId>
    <artifactId>cassandra-all</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.0-rc4</version>
</dependency>

Apache Ivy
---------------------

<dependency org="org.apache.cassandra" name="cassandra-all" rev="0.7.0-rc4"/>

Groovy Grape
---------------------

@Grapes(
    @Grab(group='org.apache.cassandra', module='cassandra-all',
version='0.7.0-rc4')
)

Apache Buildr
---------------------

'org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all:jar:0.7.0-rc4'


Enjoy!

P.S.
Hopefully as projects dependent on cassandra move to central the Maven
experience for all will considerably improve. Having looked at the
crazy hacks that people have used to work around artifacts not being
in central I can only say that it would not have resulted in a good
Maven experience.

P.P.S.
AFAIK the plan is to split cassandra into multiple artifacts for the
different use cases, this will result in clients being able to depend
on a much smaller jar with a reduced dependency tree. The
cassandra-all jar is just a stop-gap until the cassandra build is
refactored to produce the required artifacts.
