#29 Please Upload Releases to Maven When Timezones Change

[Graham Lea]

• Lots of people are using Maven (I think).
• Joda Time is great
• It's fairly easy to upgrade the time zones in Joda Time
• Update to the Timezone DB don't result in new Joda Time releases
• Hence, the version of Joda Time in the Maven repository has a relatively old Timezone DB
• The Maven people won't let anyone except Joda Time project members upload a new version (I tried:http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1762?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_110079)

It would be great if you would update a new version of Joda Time to the Maven repository every time a new timezone DB comes out.

It might also be an idea to investigate separating the timezones from the code (artifact-wise) so that you don't have to rebuild the whole project for each timezone upgrade but could just deploy the timezones in a new jar.

I'd be happy to help with any of this if you would like me to.

Cheers,

Graham.

I hope that v1.5 is close with lots of bug fixes and so on. So that will address the immediate request here.

Longer term, this is a problem, as what is being asked for is a branch of each release of Joda-Time on which each release just has time zone changes. This is obviously quite a bit of work.

If you are interested in working on separating the timezone data into a separate jar then please join the joda-interest mailing list :-)

I'll leave this open until v1.5 is released.

1.5.1 was released, but the Maven repository has only 1.4

Probably some cache problem on my side. BTW, 1.5.1 has just became available: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/joda-time/joda-time/1.5.1/

Would be handy if joda-time 1.6 and joda-time-hibernate 1.1 could be added to the central Maven repository.
