Knopflerfish Maven Repo is not available for the latest release about knopflerfish.org HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi,
you can find all artifacts at:
http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/6.0.0/maven2/org/knopflerfish/KF-6.0.0_dependencyManagement.xml

This link should be more clearly advertised.

Unfortunately directory listing is not supported on git hub pages. This is why you get the 404 error code.

The actual reason for the issue is that the following configuration did not work:

configure(subprojects.findAll {it.name =~ /plugin/ || it.name =~ /^freeplane$/ || it.name =~ /^freeplane_framework$/}){
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'http://www.knopflerfish.org/maven2/'
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        compile group: 'org.knopflerfish', name:'framework', version: '8.0.0'
    }
}

from knopflerfish.org.

At the moment you'll have to set it to:
'http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/6.0.0/maven2/'

from knopflerfish.org.

Finally I have set it to 'https://dl.bintray.com/knopflerfish/knopflerfish-maven/' and it seems to work

from knopflerfish.org.

any reason to avoid maven central for the artifacts?

from knopflerfish.org.

I think it is not available there yet. http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cknopflerfish returns no result-

from knopflerfish.org.

are there any plans to publish artifacts to maven central?

from knopflerfish.org.

Yes there are. A problem or issue we are facing with maven is that we only change bundle versions when the actual source code is changed. In Knopflerfish we use a source code version first approach, where a KF distribution can be compiled for different JDK versions. So for a bundle that hasn't changed between KF4, KF5 and KF6 the bundle version is the same, but potentially compiled for different JDK versions. This is not a problem for the self-contained Knopflerfish distributions, but does not play well with one centralized maven repository.

We are looking into different solutions:

1. Use different group id's for every main release of Knopflerfish
2. Add the KF main release to the artifact id, e.g. framework-kf6-8.0.0
3. Use a version qualifier to mark the main version of KF
4. Use a maven classifier

Feedback on which solution would be best is most welcome!

From my point the issue is closed. I am satisfied with the bintray repository.
