Maven Repository

[system]

Hello,

In our company we’ve standardized on maven for building all of our projects. For the various wowza modules that we’re constructing, we are using the nexus repository manager to make all of the wowza jar files and dependencies available as 3rd party resources.

Any chance of an official wowza maven repository? It’s not too difficult to maintain on your end, and it would be a time saving resource for your customers.

Here’s the repository manager I recommend:

Can’t you just setup this up on your side and import new .jar files from patches when they are available. I am very reluctant to support this on our end. Plus, don’t you want more control over when new builds from Wowza Pro are incoporate into your system. It doesn’t make sense for us to do this.

I second this, Maven repository would be nice.

We are doing this on our end right now, it just means that every time there is a patch, we need to go through the process of putting all of the jar files in the repository. No big deal, but lots of other java centric projects are offering ‘official’ maven repositories that provide the jars. It serves to make it easier for all maven users out there to upgrade to the latest version wowza and stay current with patches, instead of having everybody go through the same steps.

Understandable if you don’t want to deal with this. I didn’t find any other posts related to maven on the forums, so there may not be many of us out there.

However the versioning question doesn’t apply. The individual module project’s maven build script specifies the exact version to pull from the repository (1.6.0.15). The repository keeps all of the separate versions available in parallel. So this would not be an issue.

Overall i’ve found maven to be a really good thing for our development. It’s a natural for java, and projects like Flex Mojos ( http://code.google.com/p/flex-mojos/ ) have made it an excellent way to build flex applications.

Thirded. Maven is m3t4l.

Agreed (#4), having full maven repo support would definitely speed up our development cycle.

I added maven support for my project.
