$GERONIMO_HOME/repository as a Maven repository
Hi,
I'm curious about using $GERONIMO_HOME/repository as remote Maven
repository. We are not very religious (or at least we haven't been in
the past) about publishing snapshots of Geronimo (and other related)
code. So if somebody wants to build their own code against the same
exact versions of the dependencies as their Geronimo binary (snapshot)
uses that can be very difficult. So what about using
$GERONIMO_HOME/repository directly as a Maven repository? Would that
work (if we put the pom files in the repository/ dir? Especially for
snapshot dependencies?
Thanks,
Jarek

It sounds good.
I have a idea, as the $GERONIMO_HOME/repository is a OSGi bundle
repository(OBR) now, Whether we can use obr.xml which contains all the meta
data of dependencies to convert the OBR to maven repository?

Hi Jarek,
We have had some conversation about Geronimo repo as a Maven repo in regards to
the plugin farming.
http://www.mail-archive.com/user@geronimo.apache.org/msg12297.html
The discussion was concerning loading up one geronimo server's repository, and
pushing the artifacts out to other geronimo repositories.
We discussed using GeronimoAsMavenServlet which is bundled with Geronimo.

Right. The question is whether we should consider also putting the pom
metatype information along with the jar files in the repository and if
that would be useful.
In certain "controlled" environments Maven might be configured with a
specific set of remote repositories so that the artifacts are always
pulled from the right locations (therefore having a good control over
the what versions of the artifacts or snapshots are used).

GERONIMO_HOME/repository as a remote repository? I think
GERONIMO_HOME/repository is lack of maven repo metadata information, doubt
if it could be a remote repository.
On the other hand, if there are snapshot dependencies in user's and geronimo
project, maven will always pull something newest from online, that will
cause the intent of using exact same binaries failed to achieve.
Just a cent for discussion.

If user wants to use the snapshot artifacts in geronimo repo, could just
copy them to override the artifacts in his local maven repo work? If this is
not enough, I think set a hudson server in his local machine to build
geronimo every night to get the latest maven repo is the right thing to do.
Setting geronimo repo as the maven repo would contaminate the our artifacts
when user build his project, which might bring some difficulties to identify
the causes when help user analysis his problems. We definitely hope user
always has a "clean" server when he gets problems.
Anyway, as Forrest said, once there is a newer snapshot in public repo,
maven would first try download the latest one, unless user uses the -o
option.
