[RUNTIME-41] repository cli solution?
Looks like we have a problem with Cygwin again. I updated all of the
scripts to use -classpath instead of -jar. This was done in order to
move away from composite jar files (such as merlin cli and repository
main) which themselves were creating a potential source or error if not
built correctly.
However, the resulting classpath is too long when expanded in Cygwin.
Prior to expansion the classpath is generated by magic as :
MERLIN_CLASSPATH=
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/repository/jars/avalon-repository-main-SNAPSHOT.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/repository/jars/avalon-repository-spi-2.0.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/repository/jars/avalon-repository-api-SNAPSHOT.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/repository/jars/avalon-repository-util-2.0.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/util/jars/avalon-util-exception-1.0.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/util/jars/avalon-util-env-1.1.1.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/util/jars/avalon-util-i18n-1.0.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/util/jars/avalon-util-criteria-1.1.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/util/jars/avalon-util-defaults-SNAPSHOT.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/commons-cli/jars/commons-cli-1.0.jar:
$MERLIN_HOME/system/avalon/merlin/jars/avalon-merlin-cli-SNAPSHOT.jar
I'm thinking that now may be the moment to update the repository package
to add support for the transfer of a command line String[] to the
repository InitialContext - and from this push cli handling (and class
dependency) into the loaded factory.
This would eliminate the merlin-cli package which in turn would
eliminate the necessity to re-install merlin. Instead the
re-installation is as minimum, the setting of a single property - the
merlin implementation artifact uri.
Any thoughts on this before I start dabbling?
Stephen.

Just for reference - the above idea reduces the dependency question down
to the following set of artifacts:
artifact:jar:avalon/repository/avalon-repository-spi#2.0.0
artifact:jar:avalon/repository/avalon-repository-api#SNAPSHOT
artifact:jar:avalon/repository/avalon-repository-util#2.0.0
artifact:jar:avalon/util/avalon-util-exception#1.0.0
artifact:jar:avalon/util/avalon-util-env#1.1.1
artifact:jar:avalon/util/avalon-util-i18n#1.0.0
artifact:jar:avalon/util/avalon-util-criteria#1.1.0
artifact:jar:avalon/util/avalon-util-defaults#SNAPSHOT
The above could be expressed as a path in a property file and the
repository cli package can be updated to create an initial classloader
using the path - without reference to any other packages. Providing we
put a lot of attention into repository-cli with the objective of making
it sufficiently generic so we don't need to touch it for the foreseeable
future - I think we would have a good bootstrap solution.
