jakarta-commons-lang 2.4
by Jerry James 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

I maintain findbugs, whose latest version needs jakarta-commons-lang 2.4. We currently ship 2.3. The upstream release notes [1][2] claim that 2.4 has no incompatibilities with 2.3. On the other hand, I see that jpackage (5.0) has both a jakarta-commons-lang (version 2.3) package and a jakarta-commons-lang24 package, but I don't know why. According to repoquery, these packages currently require jakarta-commons-lang: directory-naming eclipse-mylyn findbugs jakarta-commons-cli jakarta-commons-configuration jeuclid maven2 maven2-plugin-changes maven2-plugin-enforcer maven2-plugin-gpg maven2-plugin-jar maven2-plugin-javadoc openoffice.org-wiki-publisher plexus-registry Do the maintainers of any of these packages have any reason why jakarta-commons-lang should not be upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4?

Update on the build-Sesame-from-source progress
by Mary Ellen Foster 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello! I've continued working on the process of getting Sesame to build from source (http://www.openrdf.org/). After a bit of a false step, it turns out that the one monster horrible package that pulled in most of the dependencies is only used in one subpackage, which -- I hope! -- isn't needed for the Sesame backend of Soprano that was the motivation for this whole undertaking. I *WILL* follow through on the review requests I put up as part of that initial effort, though -- don't worry, Java people! :) So anyway, I now have a SRPM of Sesame that builds locally on my computer after building and installing all of the dependencies. There are still a fair number of dependencies to get in, but the individual packages are mostly pretty straightforward. There are also a few packages already in Fedora which need a minor update so that Sesame can build against them. I've summarised my progress here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaryEllenFoster/SopranoSesame#The_new_stuff At this point, I really need to give the review requests that I filed earlier a bit of love before spamming the review queue again (there are 16 packages that need to be reviewed before Sesame can be built). I'd like to review any Java-based packages that are out there in return -- is there any way to find such packages short of searching for "java" in the review requests?

Status of maven 2.2.1 update in rawhide
by Deepak Bhole 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the cross-list posting, but the matter is of interest to both lists afaict, as I have seen messages related to maven on both. As some of you might know, we intend to put maven 2.2.1 in rawhide. The new maven will be a completely re-written rpm, one that should be a lot easier to maintain, and much more stable. All progress related to this upgrade is now on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MavenUpdate Updates/new packages for dependencies will be a significant effort. Once we (Andrew Overholt, Alexander Kurtakov and myself) start work on that, we will need all the help we can get :) So if you are interested in helping, or just tracking progress -- that is the page to subscribe to/check out! I'll send one more mail to this list when work on dependencies starts. Cheers, Deepak

IntelliJ IDEA for Fedora 13
by Lubomir Rintel 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi Everyone, as you may or may not know, we started and effort to get IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition packaged for Fedora 13 [1]. I'm wondering if you find it useful? If you do, you could help us and your help would really be appreciated. This Friday, FESCo [2] will decide whether it's noteworthy enough to be accepted as Fedora 13 feature. If you think so it might be a good idea to have a short look at brainstorming page [3] and add your ideas there. Also you're welcome to join the feature team, hopefully you'll find everything you need on the feature page [1].

Is GCJ still really necessary?
by Mary Ellen Foster 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

What's the benefit of doing the GCJ AOT-compilation steps as defined in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/GCJGuidelines? Doesn't everyone just use OpenJDK these days? It adds a bunch of extra stuff to every Java spec file and makes all java packages arch-specific instead of noarch, which always feels a bit weird ...

review request for jai-imageio-core
by Adam Goode 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi, I've packaged jai-imageio-core for Fedora, minus the forbidden parts. With this package, ImageIO.read() and ImageIO.write() will now work with BMP, GIF, PCX, PNM, raw (not RAW), TIFF, PCX, and WBMP. Does someone want to review this package? It's at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=536944 Thanks, Adam

jdepend-maven-plugin
by Jerry James 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I'm still trying to get jakarta-commons-lang to build with maven (F-12+ only). I'm getting closer, but I'm having a problem with a missing jdepend-maven-plugin. This plugin is referred to in at least two F-12 poms, namely: /usr/share/maven2/default_poms/JPP-commons-parent.pom /usr/share/maven2/default_poms/JPP.codehaus-mojo.pom Both of those poms are supplied by the maven2-common-poms package. The problem is that I can't find a package that supplies jdepend-maven-plugin. Does it even exist in Fedora? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/

What does the maven "groupId" mean?
by Mary Ellen Foster 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Looking more closely at my current /etc/maven/maven2-depmap.xml file, I notice a range of conventions for what fragments are called. Here are a few examples: For jakarta-commons-lang (from Fedora): <dependency> <maven> <groupId>lang</groupId> <artifactId>lang</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </maven> <jpp> <groupId>JPP</groupId> <artifactId>jakarta-commons-lang</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </jpp> </dependency> For jakarta-commons-logging (from JPackage): <dependency> <maven> <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </maven> <jpp> <groupId>JPP</groupId> <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </jpp> </dependency> For ant (from Fedora): <dependency> <maven> <groupId>org.apache.ant</groupId> <artifactId>ant</artifactId> <version>1.7.1</version> </maven> <jpp> <groupId>JPP</groupId> <artifactId>ant</artifactId> <version>1.7.1</version> </jpp> </dependency> For aqute-bindlib (from Fedora): <dependency> <maven> <groupId>biz.aQute</groupId> <artifactId>bndlib</artifactId> <version>0.0.363</version> </maven> <jpp> <groupId>JPP</groupId> <artifactId>aqute-bndlib</artifactId> <version>0.0.363</version> </jpp> </dependency> So should the groupId be the package name, the full project name, the sub-project name, or what? And what's the role of the "JPP" part in all of this? There seem to be several different conventions going on ...

Eclipse plugin build failures on F13
by Mat Booth 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, Looks like there's been a regression in F13, because this builds perfectly on F12: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1794704 This is the interesting part of the build log: /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/sdk/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.1.R35x_20090820/scripts/build.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/sdk/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.1.R35x_20090820/scripts/build.xml:91: The following error occurred while executing this line: /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/sdk/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.1.R35x_20090820/templates/package-build/customTargets.xml:19: The following error occurred while executing this line: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/sdk/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.1.R35x_20090820/scripts/${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/genericTargets.xml (No such file or directory) Why is ${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts} not defined? -- Mat Booth A: Because it destroys the order of the conversation. Q: Why shouldn't you do it? A: Posting your reply above the original message. Q: What is top-posting?

What's the deal with geronimo-specs?
by Mary Ellen Foster 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

In the course of some other Java stuff, I noticed that the geronimo-specs package doesn't include Maven depmaps (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530088). I then decided to take a look at the actual SRPM itself to see how hard it would be to add things, and it looks like it's actually *very* old (version 1.0M2, released in August 2004) and it doesn't actually build from source any more on Rawhide (errors about javax.transaction.*). What's this package for, anyway? Would it hurt anything to package the 2.1.4 version (March 2009) instead?
