maven

[Mike Smoot]

Hi Everyone,

Do people have opinions about using maven for obvious?  I've found maven super helpful for avoiding classpath, versioning, and jar distribution pains.  Maven is a bit odd at first, but once you get the hang of things it's hard to go back to ant. 

Here are some links to those unfamiliar:  

http://maven.apache.org
http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/public-book.html

Another option for handling dependencies is Ivy (http://ant.apache.org/ivy/) if ant is preferred.   

What do people think?


thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

You raised the question at the workshop. I vote for it. I use it and,
despite some small issues, I think it helps a lot.

+1 to all that (JUNG uses it, it's occasionally a pain but seems to be
worth it overall).

Sounds great.  Unless anyone objects in the next few days, I'll convert the build to maven over the weekend unless someone gets to it sooner.


thanks,
Mike

No problem!

Hi Everyone,

As promised, I mavenized the obvious build.  I also added a couple of other projects:

• I added a project for abstract unit test classes.  The idea here is that we write unit tests against the interfaces in obvious that establish the functional requirements for the interfaces.  Different implementations of obvious can then extend the abstract test cases to ensure that their implementation conforms to requirements.
• I added a Cytoscape based implementation of the Graph interface.  Note that this really hasn't been tested yet!

For now I've not grouped the individual projects under a parent pom, but we can do so if desired.  If you see any problems with what I've done or have any concerns with the organization, please feel free to update the project.

thanks,

Mike
