[01:27:29 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> Eric - the ear plugin is adding wars to the ear from the maven 2 repo. We don't have a chance, as far as I can tell, to assemble the war files before they are included in the ear.
[01:28:15 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> I haven't been successful in getting the ear plugin to read the war files from an alternate path (e.g. from a directory containing assembled war files).
[01:29:09 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> So we need to think of some other options
[01:30:23 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> 1) Continue to try and get the ear plugin to read from a location other than the Maven 2 repo. This may be easy or hard - I need to look at the source code for the mojo.
[01:30:37 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> 2) Update the Pluto assemblers to work with EAR files.
[01:32:13 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> 3) Consider using a classifier to store assembled war files in the maven 2 repository, and have the ear plugin depend on "assembled" version of the war. This will require an update to the maven 2 pluto plugin, but I think it can easily be supported.
[01:33:12 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> Obviously #3 goes against your preference of keeping assembled wars in the servlet container only. However, this is exactly what a classifier is meant to solve.
[01:34:13 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts. You'll see that war file list support is there in the maven pluto plugin, but since I don't have any viable fix at the moment for the uportal3-ear sub-project, I'm not going to commit anything.
[01:35:07 CDT(-0500)] <esmHome> Er, I committed the support for assembling war files in the maven pluto plugin but I didn't commit anything to the JASIG repo regarding assembly.
[01:39:38 CDT(-0500)] * esmHome (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has left ##uportal
[08:23:01 CDT(-0500)] * esm (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has joined ##uportal
[09:03:16 CDT(-0500)] * esm (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has joined ##uportal
[09:25:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> morning esm
[09:28:12 CDT(-0500)] <esm> eric
[09:28:19 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you were up late last night
[09:28:23 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ah morngin
[09:28:24 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[09:28:28 CDT(-0500)] <esm> dude
[09:28:46 CDT(-0500)] <esm> i was this close then realized I have no way to make the ear plugin use assembled versions of the wars
[09:28:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> suck
[09:29:09 CDT(-0500)] <esm> I have to look at the ear plugin source, it isn't clear to me from its documentation how to get it to use something else
[09:29:25 CDT(-0500)] <esm> i put some options in irc last night if you look at the logs
[09:30:13 CDT(-0500)] <esm> hey i gotta 1) get readty to go to work for a meeting in 30 min and I will be back on
[09:30:23 CDT(-0500)] <esm> we can fix this thing - its just software right?
[09:30:32 CDT(-0500)] <esm> just need to figure out the plan of attack.
[09:31:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[09:31:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> when you have time to chat through the options let me know
[09:31:23 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok cool if you have any to add......
[09:31:26 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok bbiab
[09:31:36 CDT(-0500)] * esm (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has left ##uportal
[09:51:33 CDT(-0500)] * esm (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has joined ##uportal
[10:01:32 CDT(-0500)] <esm> why oh why doesn't eclipse, by default, show line numbers
[10:01:38 CDT(-0500)] <esm> who doesn't want line numbers?
[10:26:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist>
[10:27:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> done w/ the meeting?
[10:27:19 CDT(-0500)] <esm> i decided to cnoference in
[10:27:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[10:27:25 CDT(-0500)] <esm> so i'm attending virtually
[10:27:26 CDT(-0500)] <esm>
[10:28:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well let me know when you have time and we can chat about WAR assembling, EAR deployment and ant tasks
[10:28:07 CDT(-0500)] <esm> kk
[10:47:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm .. so I'm not seeing a way to call arbitrary mvn goals from the mvn ant plugin
[10:54:44 CDT(-0500)] <esm> inside the <task> element?
[10:56:29 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok conf call over
[10:56:30 CDT(-0500)] <esm> i'm back
[10:56:31 CDT(-0500)] <esm> wheh
[10:56:34 CDT(-0500)] <esm> whew
[10:56:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah, I was thinking it would be nice to use the hibernate3-maven-plugin from codehaus
[10:57:06 CDT(-0500)] <esm> oooh very nice
[10:57:07 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[10:57:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but I can't think of an easy way to call it from an ant script
[10:57:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I suppose that could be a manual step
[10:57:44 CDT(-0500)] <esm> does the maven antlib help
[10:58:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't think so
[10:58:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but I'm still figuring it out
[10:58:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I can get a classpath built from a pom's dependencies which is neat
[10:58:37 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah it is just dep management.
[10:58:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but I don't see a way to call an arbitrary goal for a pom
[10:58:40 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[10:58:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> other than just doing a syscall
[10:58:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but that may be ok
[10:58:59 CDT(-0500)] <esm> definitly ok for now
[10:59:12 CDT(-0500)] <esm> i think in this situation the maven list would say "write a mojo"
[10:59:29 CDT(-0500)] <esm> but I'm not sure yet that we have all the requirements for what the up3 mojos would encompass
[10:59:45 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:59:50 CDT(-0500)] <esm> so maybe it makes sense to hack it out now and when we're done go in and clean up by writing mojos
[10:59:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> once we get stuff more 'mavenized' I'll be all for writing mojos
[11:00:00 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[11:00:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but for now I'm looking for quick-n-dirty
[11:00:16 CDT(-0500)] <esm> don't get much dirtier than an ant syscall
[11:00:22 CDT(-0500)] <esm>
[11:00:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist>
[11:00:29 CDT(-0500)] <esm> so is now a good time to discuss options regarding the ear
[11:00:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok, well I think I have what I need ... yes but I have a ~10 minute meeting to run to
[11:00:45 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I'll be all set after that
[11:00:50 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok i am still at home
[11:00:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:00:57 CDT(-0500)] <esm> what time do you have
[11:00:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> are you going in at all?
[11:01:00 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> 11am
[11:01:01 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[11:01:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> cdt
[11:01:07 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok you are one hour behind me
[11:01:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> after this meeting I'm free the rest of the day
[11:01:16 CDT(-0500)] <esm> want to chat after your lunch?
[11:01:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> whenever you're free
[11:01:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you want to head in now and just ping me when you get there
[11:01:48 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok, i should be back on in an hour then
[11:01:52 CDT(-0500)] <esm> excellent
[11:01:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[11:01:58 CDT(-0500)] <esm> bbiab
[12:08:18 CDT(-0500)] * esm (n=esm@clue.mse.jhu.edu) has joined ##uportal
[12:19:16 CDT(-0500)] <esm> pin
[12:19:19 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ugh.
[12:19:20 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ping.
[12:22:26 CDT(-0500)] <andrew_petro_ubu> pong
[12:22:47 CDT(-0500)] <andrew_petro_ubu> (after the Ethernet-prescribed noise followed by exponential backoff)
[12:24:29 CDT(-0500)] <esm> lol
[12:33:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalqui[away]> hey
[12:37:00 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm back
[12:37:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> workin on getting the project setup to work with the hibernate plugin
[12:37:34 CDT(-0500)] <esm> cool
[12:38:16 CDT(-0500)] <esm> so what to do re the ear
[12:38:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well
[12:38:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what is the viability of a custom ear plugin
[12:38:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> perhaps that extends the maven ear plugin
[12:39:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and just injects the pluto assembling logic
[12:39:15 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[12:39:22 CDT(-0500)] <esm> that is viable defnititly
[12:40:01 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think that may be the most appropriate
[12:40:20 CDT(-0500)] <esm> ok that sounds good then
[12:44:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> cool
[13:08:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> grr
[13:08:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so ant exec doesn't work to call mvn
[13:08:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since mvn is just a shell script
[13:19:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah ... I have to specify mvn.bat
[13:19:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> time for os specific exec calls
[13:33:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> esm: just did a commit that re-arranged some maven related stuff and updated the uP3 war pom
[13:45:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well ... just found a little problem ...
[13:45:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I can't reference classes in the uP3.war since a WAR isn't a depenency type that can be added to a classpath
[14:16:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm going to try creating a uportal3-impl sub-project
[14:16:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that will just be source code & their tests
[14:16:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the uP3 sub project will depend on it and just be the WAR specific stuff
[14:17:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hopefully then I can run the tasks
[14:21:19 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[14:21:21 CDT(-0500)] <esm> sounds good
[14:21:38 CDT(-0500)] <esm> eventually that was the plan anyway right
[14:21:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[14:22:02 CDT(-0500)] <esm> that the uP3 subproject - after everything was moved out - would just be a shell that has a bunch of deps to build the war
[14:22:02 CDT(-0500)] <esm> cool
[14:22:07 CDT(-0500)] <esm> is that working out?
[14:22:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think so
[14:22:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the svn mv's took a while
[14:22:16 CDT(-0500)] <esm> sweet.
[14:22:21 CDT(-0500)] <esm> yeah
[14:22:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I'm just getting to making sure the poms are all correct
[14:23:05 CDT(-0500)] <esm> I'm getting started on the ear plugin
[14:23:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> cool
[14:24:44 CDT(-0500)] <esm> you'll see me add the subproject today but it will proably mostly be empty for now
[14:25:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[14:25:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> looks like this is working
[14:25:39 CDT(-0500)] <esm> excellent
[14:25:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thats really slick how easily it was to move the source into its own jar and have the WAR still end up pretty much the same
