I've embarked on a quest to package JabRef for Fedora
(http://jabref.sourceforge.net/). It has an annoying number of
dependencies, but the one I'm stuck on right now is "spin"
(http://spin.sourceforge.net/). This in turn depends on cglib
(http://cglib.sourceforge.net), which is easy to package and I've got
a version already at
http://mef.fedorapeople.org/cglib/
(haven't put it up for review yet because I want to try to get
everything complete).
The problem now is: spin is built with maven, about which I know just
about nothing. I've managed to install the required maven plugins
(compiler, assembler, etc), but how do I point maven at my cglib jar
file in /usr/share/java? The relevant part of the pom.xml file looks
like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>cglib</groupId>
<artifactId>cglib-nodep</artifactId>
<version>2.1_3</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
I've tried making the obvious edits -- changing cglib-nodep to cglib
and version to 2.2 to agree with the cglib RPM -- but mv-jpp still
persists in not finding it when I try to build. What's the magic
trick? Is it documented in the wiki anywhere that I've missed?
Thanks for any help,
MEF
