Maven support

[Christopher Mueller]

Are there any plans for providing the spacebase jar files as maven artifacts?  Our java projects are all maven and inclusion of the spacebase libraries (and dependencies) is cumbersome to say the least at this point, particularly because we're already using many of your dependencies (kryo, guava), so version issues are going to be rampant.

Hi Chris.

We cannot host SpaceBase on Maven Central because it is not open-source. You can, however, place the JARs in your company's internal Maven repository.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the quick response - very understandable rational for not provisioning via maven!!

Is there documentation available with respect to the dependency tree to assist in construction of the pom.xml files for the spacebase .jar files?  I presume that many of the jars in the /lib directory are transient (2nd, 3rd or higher order) dependencies of the direct spacebase dependencies?  Many of those libraries (if not all?) are open-source and are likely available from existing maven repositories.

Best,

Chris

If you're only using spacebase-core and spacebase-geodesy, the only dependencies are guava 15.0 and trove4j 3.0.3.

If you're also using Quasar, then your Quasar dependencies should suffice.

I've attached a pom file you can try.

Great - thanks Ron!

This is really a less-than-excellent resolution. I got it work (tentatively, not using an updated pom yet) after realizing spacebase 2.2 (the version available on your main page download link) is incompatible with quasar 0.7.3. Luckily I worked around it by pulling 2.3-SNAPSHOT from the spaceships-demo project.

It might not be worth the time or aligned with your goals, but if you hosted an up-to-date spacebase repository, it would sure be useful!
