Sun Binary Dependencies
Hi All,
At the moment one of my maven projects depends upon JARs distributed by
Sun (e.g. JTA). I'm manually downloading and extracting the ZIPs from
Sun and copying the JARs to my local repository. Ideally, I would like
some way to automatically download the ZIPs and extract the relevant files.
I understand there was some discussion about this on the mailing list to
create some "scrapper" maven plug-ins to auotmagically do this. What was
the outcome and what is the process for supplying these files?
Kind regards

Geronimo has implementations of a lot of the j2ee specifiactions.
They can be found in http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/geronimo-spec/jars/

Hi,
The apache jars are responsability of each apache project. Other projects
(not all) have to ask to upload their jars
http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html.

Hi Guys,
Thanks everyone for your helpul suggestions. I am now using the Geronimo
specifications JARs instead and will use some of the other alternatives
when I use Sun JARs in future.
BTW, does anyone know who is responsible for ensuring that the Apache
maven repository at Ibiblio is uptodate? Is it a group effort from all
groups, or is a specific project in charge? I notice that a few of the
project JARs are out of date.
Kind regards,

You may also wish to investigate whether there are non-sun jars
available that have more amenable licensing terms. For instance,
geronimo has a jta jar.

M1.jar

A similar option would be to create a separate local repository which is
checked in
with the rest of your project.
Something like this:
projectRoot/
lib/
com.sun/
jars/
mailapi.jar
ejb-2.1.jar
Then, you could instruct people (or maybe write a maven.xml goal) to include
this directory as a "remote" repo
maven.repo.remote=file://///path/to/projectRoot/lib,www.ibiblio.org/maven
The first time that you run it, the jars will be copied from the special
local repo
to the main one.
This is how I'm doing it.

Hi,
You can extract them to a dir of your project and use jar override, then you
can distribute it with the rest of your files.
