Hi John, Some questions about maven to you experts. (Im also cc'ing Orion in case > this helps his "Fedora packaging problem"): > > 1) Is there a canonical repository, i.e. "Maven Central" ? Martin already > has it at geotoolkit.org, is that good enough? > The geotoolkit.org site is a good start. Ideally though, you'd like to get the NetCDF stuff uploaded to Maven Central. Details on this can be found at http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/04/uploading-artifacts-to-the-central-maven-repository-diy/#more-5137. Alternatively, you can setup your own repo, for example we've setup one at googlecode (http://code.google.com/p/mbari-maven-repository/) Also, Sonatype has a pretty vast array of repos mounted on a Nexus repo manager at http://oss.sonatype.org. It's pretty handy for searching for a dependency. Unfortunately, geotoolkit.org isn't mounted yet so the current netcdf jars don't show up in searches. Someone might want to drop sonatype a note to add geotoolkit.org > 2) We dont plan (yet anyway) to switch to using maven to build netcdf-java. > We are willing to upload jar files, and maintain pom files (with your help), > and anything thats reasonable that doesnt take much time. What is the best > way to do that? > Maven's ant-task would do everything you need ( http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/index.html). Probably the easiest way to go about it is to create a simple pom.xml file for the NetCDF project that defines the dependencies. You could probably just crib the one at geeotoolkit ... http://maven.geotoolkit.org/edu/ucar/netcdf/4.1/netcdf-4.1.pom. Then you can reference the pom in your ant build to do the artifact installation and deployment, which seems to be what you're really going for at the moment ( http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/examples/install-deploy.html). The pain-in-the-rear part is that all the dependencies that NetCDF uses will also need to be deployed as Maven artifacts too.
