Portlet related Maven question

["Glenn R. Golden" <gg...@umich.edu>]

If I'm building a portlet project using Maven, and I want to express 
the dependency on the portlet API, what's the maven <dependency> that 
I'd include that would know where to actually *get* the portlet1-0 
portlet.jar?

Does this work?

I notice that neither Pluto's nor Jetspeed 2's project.xml for Maven 
has any dependencies... I would expect these.  Am I missing something 
in how to use Maven?

Thanks.

David,
please go ahead and submit the API to the ibiblio server.

tomcat/shared/lib distribution question

["Glenn R. Golden" <gg...@umich.edu>]

Pluto requires distribution into the end user's tomcat / shared / lib 
area.

Does anyone know of a tomcat mechanism to package the stuff that needs 
to go into common or shared as part of the webapp, so that when it's 
expanded by Tomcat it's put in the proper place, outside the webapp 
folder, in the /shared/lib or /common/lib?

That way Pluto, and other apps that need to distribute to the shared 
area, could have a way to do so.

Any other ideas, short of having the development environment on each 
deployment target so that an ant job can be written to move the files 
into /common or /shared?

Thanks.

Glenn,

I believe that the following dependency is what you're looking for:

   <dependency>
      <id>portlet-api</id>
      <groupId>portlet-api</groupId>
      <version>1.0</version>
      <properties>
        <war.bundle.jar>false</war.bundle.jar>
      </properties>
    </dependency>

This is the actual dependency that is declared within the project.xml 
for the container.

Unfortunately, the portlet api is not yet on the ibiblio server which 
maven uses by default to resolve dependencies.  Because of that, maven 
will not be able to download it.  I'm willing to submit the request to 
the maven team to get the portlet-api jar into ibiblio.  Does anyone 
have any reasons why we shouldn't at this point?  I assume that there 
aren't any reasons licensing wise why we can't since the servlet-api is 
allready up there.

If I don't hear otherwise, I'll submit the request sometime tomorrow.
