[ddsteps-user] DDSteps dependencies available via a maven repo?

[Josh H. <jho...@be...>]

I'd like to experiment with DDSteps to handle my data-driven tests, but 
my junit tests run in a Maven 1.0 environment.  I therefore need to either:

a) add all of DDSteps' dependencies to my local maven repo.  Some are 
already there (spring, hibernate, log4j, etc), but some are not (jxl, 
rowset, etc).
b) find a maven repo that contains all of the dependencies

Would it make sense to provide a maven repo at 
http://www.ddsteps.org/maven that contains all of these dependencies?

Boy, transitive dependencies are looking really nice right about now :)

Thanks,
Josh

Nice to hear that!

I'm not that Maven savvy - can Maven work with more than one repo? If 
so, that would make sense to have a DDSteps repo. Or get DDSteps into 
the real ibiblio repo...

Do you have anything set up? If so, are you willing to help us out or 
donate the repo you have set up? I would be greatly appreciated :-)

Also, please, can I ask you to go to our JIRA (jira.ddsteps.org) and put 
in a request for this, so we don't loose the idea?

That's why we left Maven 1.0 for Ivy and Ant, same as Spring Framework 
uses... :-) Maven 2 looks promising, but still I like Ant+Ivy since I 
can modify the script any way I like :-)

Keep the questions coming!

Yes.  You can tell it to work with any number of repos.

Getting all of the dependencies into ibiblio would be ideal.  Many of 
these are already there, but some (including DDSteps itself) are not.  
Of the three repos that I use, one is ibiblio, and another is an ibiblio 
mirror :)

We have an internal repo at UC Berkeley, but it's not public so it won't 
help much.

Will do.  Thanks!
