I have been playing in an 'mvn' feature branch with what could become jPOS 1.8, managed by Maven.
I'm new to Maven and I'm kind of overwhelmed by its complexity and amount of neurons one needs to burn memorizing arbitrary things, I feel it's a masochism exercise for the project maintainer, but I have to admit it makes things really really simple for the user.
I would appreciate if you could give it a try, you just need to add
<repository>
<id>jpos</id>
<name>jPOS Central Repository</name>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jpos</groupId>
<artifactId>jpos-core</artifactId>
<version>1.8-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
to your pom.xml and you'd be ready to go.
If you are a maven expert, I would really appreciate some help reviewing the setup, I've just pushed a 'mvn' branch to github.com/jpos with my sandbox work.
I'm not sure I've totally captured the "Maven way", so feedback is appreciated.
I still need to migrate compat_1_5_2 (in another module, sibling to jpos-core), and just noticed there's one QMUX test case that is still in the jpos6 directory, will place it in the appropriate test environment soon.
If you are keen to help with this migration, feel free to send me a pull request or git patch (in mbox format please).
