Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Having XWiki repositories in pom for extensions

10 Apr 2015


      Interesting article... and it seems that it goes more into my
proposition than to rely on the settings.xml file, the main problem
being a potential change of our Nexus URI (or did I missed something?).

Hi Jean,
I have no strong opinion on my side about this, let say that I am -0.
Personally, I am using mirrors of the XWiki repos, but I imagine there are
not a lot of people working like me. However, I see more issue than benefit
in adding the repositories, see this very well written blog post about the
cons:

Hi devs,
I'm kind of annoyed that to build an extension, you need to clone it
(ok, every dev can do it), launch Maven (devs can do it too) and... it
breaks!  It breaks because the ~/.m2/settings.xml file has not been
configured.
Of course, ideal would be to push everything to Maven Central but as far
as I know, there is a lot of work to do before being able to that for
XWiki platform.
However, for extensions, it's another story.  We could define
repositories directly into the root POM of the extension.
I'm not a Maven expert, but I already tried the following who seems to
work, WDYT?
