Flow Math vectors not referenceable about spongeapi HOT 13 CLOSED

Did you refresh gradle dependencies?

from spongeapi.

yes, it would still be referencing the old vectors if I haddn't, and yes I removed the old imports.

from spongeapi.

Add the Sonatype Nexus repo.
Not sure how it is in Gradle, but for Maven add this into your :

<repository>
    <id>sonatype-nexus</id>
    <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public</url>
</repository>

from spongeapi.

a simple fix indeed that did the trick adding the sonatype repo, at least in the short term. For those that use the api jar directly without maven or gradle however I feel this wont work.

from spongeapi.

you can't use the API jar directly as it references a few other libraries

from spongeapi.

Well, I suppose we could build an uber jar to link against, that would be
pretty useful for API development.

users really should be using something like gradle or maven to be handling dependencies and not relying on uberjars as it makes it exponentially harder for others to contribute to a plugin when there is no build script

from spongeapi.

@zach that's true, but I can think of a lot of smaller projects that don't
have any dependencies and just use Eclipse's compilation or w/e. Also a lot
of people just learning or starting out with java aren't going to want to
have to learn a completely new toolchain as well—they're just going to want
to use whatever comes built in to their IDE.

Even with using gradle or maven, people shouldn't have add both sponge and something else. Especially something used so often. Vector3i is used for getting blocks from BlockVolume, Vector3d is used in Location.

from spongeapi.

ALL dependencies of sponge should be pulled transitively if using gradle or maven as our repo has the POM descriptors these tools need to find the dependencies

from spongeapi.

This was a natural consequence of moving math over to flow-math. While this has some disadvantages we ultimately decided for it because of the pros. You should be using gradle/maven for plugin development anyway, this is not a new argument.

Also, the flow team has been very helpful in our needs for the library(considering a few flow team members are part of Sponge). They'll have a release of flow-math and put it on maven central soon.

@gratimax thoughts on distributing an uberjar?

for the API this is most likely not hapening, it encourages bad development habits
