Re: [gate-users] Fwd: Using GATE with Maven

[Marin N. <mar...@on...>]

  Hi Julien,

Apparently, two of the long list of dependencies of GATE were not 
available in the public repositories. Testing did not catch this 
probably because the tester didn't clean his local maven repository when 
validating the build.

We will move net.didion#jwnl and nl.mpi#lookup to repository/public 
ASAP. However, two other issues remain a mystery.

com.sun.tools is the tools.jar in your Sun JDK . It's a <scope>system</> 
dependency in the POM which means that Maven looks for it in the 
filesystem. I basically followed the Maven's documentation on dealing 
with tools.jar - 
http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency . I guess that 
doesn't suit Ivy.

Finally, gate-core should not be affected by the two issues above as all 
3 dependencies are marked as optional in its POM. I haven't tested the 
build with Ivy. Do you know whether Ivy supports the <optional> 
attribute? I'll try to investigate myself too.

Best,
Marin
