java qmf library in maven repository

[MartiN Beneš <ma...@gmail.com>]

There is a nice and working qmf client library in the qpid svn at
trunk/qpid/tools/src/java

Is there any chance the library will get packaged and distributed through
the official maven repository?

Hi Fraser,
yes, we are using your library without any problem.

I started using maven about a month ago, but from what I see around me,
maven is currently the de facto standard for building java applications and
resolving their dependencies.
It's configuration looks messy at the first, but is mostly straightforward,
once you learn the basic workflow.

Maven configuration files are named pom.xml and you can find many of them
in the qpid java sources. It is usually one pom.xml per target(jar). Plus
there is usually some parent pom.xml for common configuration of a project.

You can try to create a pom.xml file in your library's directory
trunk/qpid/tools/src/java :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="
http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xsi:schemaLocation="
http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
  <artifactId>qmf2</artifactId>
  <version>0.24</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
      <artifactId>qpid-client</artifactId>
      <version>0.24</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
      <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
      <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

This is it. It defines two dependencies: qpid-client and
org.apache.geronimo.specs which will be automatically downloaded from the
repository:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.qpid/qpid-client/0.24
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.geronimo.specs/geronimo-jms_1.1_spec

Now, if you run command $ mvn package
maven should download dependencies, compile whatever it finds in
./src/main/java and produce a qmf2.jar file in directory ./target

Apache qpid project obviously has some way to distribute its release jars.
You can see those packages here:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.qpid

And it would ease my work if your library was distributed along with them.
I would only have to add:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
      <artifactId>qmf2</artifactId>
      <version>0.24</version>
    </dependency>

to my project's pom.xml

Whoever is responsible for other qpid poms would probably easily be able to
extend my example pom.xml and incorporate it to apache qpid release
workflow.

regards,
martin

Hi Martin,
I wrote that code and it's really great to hear someone else using it!

Unfortunately I know zero about Maven - TBH I barely speak ant :-/ so I 
wouldn't know where to begin.

I believe that Robbie Gemmell has been looking at Maven for the Java 
Broker and JMS builds and I *think* Proton-J uses Maven, so I might have 
to figure it out at some point, but at this stage it hasn't been a 
priority for me as I've been juggling loads of things and not feeling 
I'm making much progress.

I'm certainly not averse to the idea, just lacking the skills.

If you can suggest any "Maven for dummies" sort of online quickstart 
guide (how to hack a crappy ant build into Maven 1-0-1 is probably my 
level....) then I'll look into it, but I can't promise it'll happen quickly.

Sorry it's probably not the answer you're looking for.

Out of curiosity what does Maven offer in this context, I've always got 
something of an impression that it's overcomplicated but that's mostly 
said from a position of ignorance.

Regards,
Frase
