Snapshots

[Dan Diephouse <da...@envoisolutions.com>]

Hi all,

Anyone know if it is OK for us to put up a link to our snapshots on our
website? Often I want to point people at snapshots so they can test them and
I'd like to create a small page detailing where to get the latest ones.

- Dan

> mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true

That's a useful thing to know...

Thanks, Sergey

We already do.   Every jar also has a -sources.jar uploaded to the repository.   
The mvn IDE integrations already download those and wire them into the 
projects.

Example, in your dependent project, you can run:
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true
and it will create the eclipse project with all of the source jars downloaded 
and wired directly into eclipse.   You can then debug right through 
everything.

Source Snapshots (Was: Snapshots)

[Sergey Beryozkin <se...@iona.com>]

Hi

Would it possible to publish source snapshots too in a format which would make it easier to refer to CXF source base when debugging 
CXF from the projects depending on CXF ? For ex, the source is spread through different modules and it would be nice to have a 
snapshot which contains source files in the format similar to the one used in JDK source.jar...

Cheers, Sergey

I THINK it's OK.  (I notice harmony does it and a few others)

However, it's got to be 100% clear that the snapshots are NOT an official 
apache release, they are untested, etc...  See:
http://harmony.apache.org/downloads.html 

We also cannot go around promoting the snapshots to users over the official 
releases except to have them test if a bug is fixed or similar.   They must 
be considered a convenience to developers, not a "way around doing an 
official release".
