Change of Kiama group id

[Tony Sloane]

As you may have heard, the scala-tools.org site is being de-commissioned and Scala projects are now in the process of migrating to the Sonatype OSS repository, which is automatically propagated to the Maven Central repository. All of this is a good thing, but Kiama is still in the process of making this progression, so there are a few things to note.

Right now, all of the Kiama artefacts that were previously available on the scala-tools.org repository should be available from Maven Central. This repo is automatically searched by sbt, so your projects should pick up the artefacts without any changes.

Going forward, we will be changing the Kiama groupid to com.googlecode.kiama to be more compliant with the Sonatype and Maven standard practice. Therefore from Kiama version 1.2.0 onwards you will need to use the following Kiama dependency:

"com.googlecode.kiama" %% "kiama" % "version"

where version >= 1.2.0 is the version you want.

I have published a snapshot of 1.2.0 with Scala 2.9.1 and it is available on the Sonatype OSS snapshots repo now. You can try it out now by using version "1.2.0-SNAPSHOT" and specifying the resolver in your sbt config:

resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Snapshots Repository" at
"https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"

I have a bit more to do on it before it can be a release, particularly updating the wiki and change notes, but I expect to do the release next week.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

cheers,
Tony
