Tomcat POMs
Hi all
I have already prepared all poms for Tomcat 5.5.15 artifacts.
I have some questions about dependencies because some things
can be achieved in more then one way and I don't know
which way is the best. I want to discuss a little with maven team
before I give them to Geronimo team.
Where should I upload them, which project on JIRA?
Does anybody want to discuss about it at all?
For example:
How should I add "xml-apis" and "mx4j"?
All classes from "xml-apis" exist in JDK 1.4, and 1.5. They are not
present in JDK 1.3, but Maven does not work with 1.3, so this is
not a problem (I think). So shoul I add "xml-apis" dependencies
or not?
MX4J is an equivalent for Sun's JMX. JMX exists in JDK 1.5, and does
not exist in JDK 1.4. Shoud MX4J dependency be added in a profile
triggered by <jdk>1.4</jdk> (I don't know if something like "less then 1.5" works)
Greetings
Greg

This is the way I have done it.

I'm not such a fan of classifiers, I'd do a profile triggered by jdk version
<dependencies>
<!-- deps required in all jdk versions -->
</dependencies>
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<jdk>1.4</jdk>
</activation>
<!-- add here the dependencies for 1.4 -->
</profile>
<profile>
<activation>
<jdk>1.3</jdk>
</activation>
<!-- add here the dependencies for 1.3 + 1.4 -->
</profile>
</profiles>
1.4 and 1.5 support are important, 1.3 depends on what level of detail
you want to go, as you said, maven runs on 1.4+

I could give you my word as a Spaniard.
No good. I've known too many Spaniards.

1.
MX4J has EXACTLY the same interface as Sun's JMX - JSR 3 (JMX)
and JSR 160 (JMX Remote API).
2.
I do not build Tomcat jars. They are built with Ant and distributed
by Tomcat team. I'm only preparing poms for these jars.
So there is only one copy of each library which will work perfectly
with JMX anf MX4J. If you run Tomcat on JDK 1.5 you don't need
MX4J because you have JMX in JDK's rt.jar. If you run Tomcat
on JDK 1.4 you need JMX (jars can be downloaded from Sun)
or MX4J. I think, that JDK 1.5 + MX4J would work too if someone
would prefer MX4j even on JDK 1.5.

I'm not a Maven dev but felt like responding. ;-)
For the MX4J issue... I would build two bundles... One with target
JDK1.4, include the MX4J dependency, and use no classifier... The
other with target JDK1.5 and the classifier jdk5.
This would require people to know to use <classifier>jdk5</classifier>
if they are using JDK5 and do not want to use MX4J, but it would mean
the "default" build of your project uses JDK4 and pulls in MX4J. So
the default build won't break for either JDK4 or JDK5 users, which I
think is a good thing.
This seems to be the most reasonable way to address this issue, to me.
Perhaps someone else will respond too. ;-)
