Re: [ANN] 1.2.7 of Keel build system/Maven plugin released

Mike,

I think we're almost there :-), but I am still having a few issues.

I tried this with my default-based project, and then switched to
minimal. I deleted the maven.uberjar.main property from
build.properties, and did "maven war". In both projects, I get:

[jar] Building jar:
C:\Users\Shash\Java\workspaces\keelapp\project\target\te

mp\keel-minimal-keel-config.jar

[java] java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2

[java] at KeelUberJar.main(KeelUberJar.java:69)

[java] Exception in thread "main"

BUILD FAILED

File...... C:\Documents and
Settings\schatterjee\.maven\cache\maven-keel-plugin-

In looking at plugin.jelly, could this be because the third argument to
KeelUberJar is maven.uberjar.main, which for a webapp is undefined?

A few other issues:

- When I ran "maven keel:maven" (which I see exists in plugin.jelly)
in my project dir, I get:

$ maven keel:maven

__ __

Goal "keel:maven" does not exist in this project.

- Somewhere, there is a dependency to keel-build-3.0.jar still, since
the plugin insists on downloading keel-build-3.0.jar even though the
latest in the repo is keel-build-3.01.jar

- The project.xml(s) in CVS for keel-build is 3.0 (latest is 3.01?)
and for the maven-keel-plugin is 1.2.6 (latest is 1.2.7)....needs a
checkin?

Morning All:

Below please find the merged (automated!) announcement messages for
1.2.7 and the (short-lived) 1.2.6 release of the Maven plugin. As you
can see a number of fixes and updates have been made to improve the
build system. These fixes are still undergoing extensive tests on
several different platforms, so please report any problems!

---------------------------
The keel team is pleased to announce the Maven plugin for Keel 1.2.7
release!

Changes in this version include:

New Features:

o Use version 3.1 of tool-maven, which attempts to fix dependency
conflicts
instead of simply aborting when detecting a conflict.

--- 1.2.6 ---------

Changes in this version include:

New Features:

o The creation of the "uberjar" file has been improved considerably by
use of
a special utility. Rather than un-jarring everything, doing a lot of
filesystem work, then jar-ing it all back up, the uberjar is built in
one
pass, directly from the original jars in the repository. Build time is
cut
substantially. (For example, locally I can build the "minimal" project
in
40 seconds)
o The "temp" directory, which used to be right below the project
directory is
now in "target". This ensures it gets "cleaned" when you do a "maven
clean". Far fewer temp files are needed in any case.
o You *must* now supply a maven.uberjar.main property for non-webapp
projects, and you *must not* supply it for web app projects. This is
essentially how the build system can tell the difference.
o The bug where logs were created in the Tomcat (or other server) "bin"
directory is corrected. Logs for a webapp are now in the WEB-INF/logs
directory inside the webapp itself. This fix actually affected a
number of
modules.
o The -Ddebug=true setting (on the Maven command line) will show the
details
of the KeelConfigTool, KeelMavenTool and KeelUberJar tools as they
execute.
o The "keel:test" and "keel:tests" goals have had some minor errors
corrected.

Fixed bugs:

o Added xdocs for automated generation of release announcements :-)
o Various bugs (such as the one where a war would fail to build properly
first time, then build second time around) are fixed.

To automatically install the plugin, type the following on a single
line:

maven plugin:download
-DgroupId=keel
-DartifactId=maven-keel-plugin
-Dversion=1.2.7

For a manual installation, you can download the plugin here:
http://keelframework.org/maven,http://ibiblio.org/maven/keel/plugins/maven-keel-plugin-1.2.7.jar

Have fun!
