App Engine 1.3.7 now available in maven central

[David Chandler (Google)]

I'm pleased to announce that App Engine 1.3.7 is now available in
maven central. Now that a better process is in place, I expect to be
able to push future versions shortly after each release.

In case people missed David's other post regarding the location of the
non-Google artifacts then look here (http://groups.google.com/group/
maven-gae-plugin/browse_thread/thread/6c13c7b89e952440). I was just
able to build my project only referencing central for the first time.
Very cool!

Thank you,
Taylor

Thanks, Taylor. Since you've already got a good POM going, do you mind
posting it for everyone?

David,

I just noticed one issue in the pom I thought was working correctly. I
had a reference to appengine-local-runtime version 1.3.7 in my pom. It
looks like the local-runtime jar's are not in the central maven repo
-- or at least I was looking in the wrong spot. Shouldn't local-
runtime also be there?

Thank you,
Taylor

David/Rodolfo,

It's worth noting that I didn't notice this before because gae:unpack
will pull it in from the maven-gae-plugin repository since it's
referenced in the net.kindleit gae-runtime. Regardless, here's a link
to my current pom.xml for jappstart.

Actually, no. It's only useful as part of the SDK ZIP distribution
because App Engine requires a very specific structure.

Run mvn gae:unpack first to unzip the SDK into your local maven repo,
then you can use dependencies like this:

<properties>
<gae.version>1.3.7</gae.version>
<gae.home>${user.home}/.m2/repository/com/google/appengine/appengine-java-sdk/${gae.version}/appengine-java-sdk-${gae.version}</gae.home>
</properties>

<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-local-runtime</artifactId>
<version>${gae.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${gae.home}/lib/appengine-tools-api.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-tools-api</artifactId>
<version>${gae.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${gae.home}/lib/appengine-tools-api.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Perhaps a future version of maven-gae-plugin will do this
automatically so the system-scoped deps are not necessary?

David,

Is it correct that the system path for appengine-local-runtime uses
the appengine-tools-api or is that a typo? <systemPath>${gae.home}/lib/
appengine-tools-api.jar</systemPath>

Thank you,
Taylor

[Rodolfo]

Yes,

The local-runtime is unnecessary. gae-runtime 1.3.7.1 is now available
in the projects repository.

We will release 0.7.1 soon which includes the new cron-info goal, and
cleaned up the archetypes with more up-to-date dependencies.

[David Chandler]

appengine-tools-api is correct. It's called -sdk in the maven repo for
historical reasons, and I kept that name in the repo so as not to
pollute the repo with different dir names over time.

David,

I was asking about appengine-local-runtime having appengine-tools-
api.jar rather than appengine-local-runtime.jar (see arrows) rather
than the api vs sdk naming appengine tools? Just wanted to confirm
this was in fact correct or a typo.

<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-local-runtime</

artifactId> <----------------------

<version>${gae.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>

<systemPath>${gae.home}/lib/appengine-tools-
api.jar</systemPath> <-------------------------
</dependency>

Thank you,
Taylor

[David Chandler]

Ah, sorry. Actually, it is correct, if a little weird.
