Combining maven and play

[Alexander Reelsen]

Hi all,

I have written a small post how to combine play and the maven
dependency resolution for your own modules, hopefully without getting in
classloader hell because of clashing versions of packages which
already ship with play.

Please comment, whether this is a useful solution - I am not really a
friend of maven myself, but it just works for transitive dependencies
IMO.

Hi,

Thank for your post.
I agree that play miss of a dependencies tracking system. I think
about using ivy to track these dependencies.

But never used it myself. What do you think about it ?

One suggestion would be to integrate with javagems: http://www.javagems.org/

I've been hugely impressed with gemcutter, so this is intriguing with me. To me it's far more appealing than maven/ivy. If you're familiar with ruby gem publishing it should be fairly familiar, too.

I'm also all in for ivy. Ant is already used and play does not need
anything more than pure dependency management.

I'll try to come up with an ivy solution in the next days, if time
permits.

Only resolving dependencies in ivy is pretty quick and additionally
integrates clean with ant- eclipse plugin is also there (I did not
check for other IDEs):

Thanks for your post. I had just spent a few hours getting all the
jars for jclouds.

I'll probably stick with maven instead of ivy because we use maven for
jclouds and already have maven installed.

Hi,

Using maven is not the best thing, so I wrote a simple build script in Gradle.
