Jpackage Maven RPM Mojo
Hi,
The JPackage team
http://www.jpackage.org
and the Apache Directory team has been having
discussions around creating a JPackage hosted maven
mojo/plugin for creating RPM's according to JPackage
standards (Really just the FHS standard).
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
I thought it would be really great if members from the
Codehaus team joined as well, since both Codehaus and
the ApacheDS team have an rpm mojo.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
- Ole

Hi, Fernando,
I'm excited to try this out.
We have RHN Satellite, and we upload our internal RPMS to that. The RHN
Satellite then pushes our software to our various server farms. I think
we have somewhere around 100-200 RHEL servers grabbing software updates
from that RHN Satellite.
So we've found RPM to be a great way to deploy our software (always
webapps) to hundreds of machines. But we've had little control over the
jars that developers throw into "WEB-INF/lib". It would be great to
have as many of those jars as possible coming from the RHEL/JPackage
subscription!!!!
By the way, just a note to everyone at JPackage: you guys really saved
us with your JVM and Tomcat RPMS about 3 years ago! They were such a
seamless fit with our infrastructure. Very high quality stuff, in my
opinion.
yours,
Julius

I have good news for you: that is already available with our new JPP 1.7
maven2 package.
At JPackage (as well as for RHEL systems) we have already been using the
/usr/share/java as a local maven repository and all software that we
build that is maven based were built using the JARs from there.

That is if you want to build an RPM with your software.
Which is not a bad idea: an RPM is a very handy way to distribute Linux
software. When one of us around here at work wants the others to try
something, we put together a basic RPM so people can
install/upgrade/uninstall it easily, which has proved to be a big
incentive for people to try things.

Already done.
I will be uploading the latest maven2 RPMs from Deepak into JPP 1.7 over
the weekend. Give it a try on Monday. I believe there is some
documentation under 'doc'. If you need help to use it or has any
questions, please ask here (in this list).

Done :-)

So this is really a repository synchronization wish
right?
Maven runs a build.
Generates the RPM
Also generates and installs the jar file in a maven
repository.
If redhat is doing this, then the RPM ends up in their
RPM repository and the artifacts that maven generates
are installed in the maven repository.
This ensures that the RPM and the artifacts in the
Maven repository are in sync.
So now cucbc can just point Maven to the redhat maven
repository, knowing that all the dependencies have a
corresponding fetched have a corresponding rpm.
Does that sound about right?
Cheers,
- Ole

Where I work, we want to start using Maven for our own development. But
we also want all the jar dependencies we declare in our apps to come
from our RHEL subscription. So figuring out a way to achieve that would
be really useful!
+1
We package our own apps into RPM for ease of internal deployment, so I
guess we would need to run this pom2spec thing on our own applications.
But we also need all the "official" RHEL jars in a maven repository for
all of our developers (who might be on windows) to use directly from the
pom.xml files, with no mention of RPM.
So I think we need pom2spec on one side, but we also need "library of
all redhat jar file rpms" to "maven dependency repository " on the other
side.
pom2spec
rpms2mavenRepository
