Subject: project with server-assembly packaging
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:11:54 +0100

Attempting to resuscitate the failover demo.  I've gotten it to go if  
I use 2.2-SNAPSHOT for everything, but attempting to bump it up to the  
released 2.2 jars creates some issues.  First one seems like a general  
issue with our custom server-assembly packaging type.  If the  
pom.version of the project declaring itself a server-assembly does not  
match the target Geronimo version, then the chain of dependencies  
seems to break down a bit:

I've switched the geronimo-tomcat-farm-controller's version to 5.4- 
SNAPSHOT just to illustrate:

1) org.apache.geronimo.testsupport:testsupport-common:jar:5.4-SNAPSHOT

   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

   Then, install it using the command:
       mvn install:install-file - 
DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.testsupport -DartifactId=testsupport- 
common -Dversion=5.4-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the  
file there:
       mvn deploy:deploy-file - 
DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.testsupport -DartifactId=testsupport- 
common -Dversion=5.4-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file - 
Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

   Path to dependency:
   	1) org.apache.geronimo.assemblies:geronimo-tomcat-farm- 
controller:server-assembly:5.4-SNAPSHOT
   	2) org.apache.geronimo.testsupport:testsupport-common:jar:5.4- 
SNAPSHOT

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
   org.apache.geronimo.assemblies:geronimo-tomcat-farm- 
controller:server-assembly:5.4-SNAPSHOT


I could call the assembly 2.2 as well but that seems like a terrible  
hack as I will be needing to update this demo quite a bit -- not that  
it works if I do that anyway.  I can get it to work if I build that  
latest, pre-release, 2.2-SNAPSHOT of geronimo locally and change the  
demo version to 2.2-SNAPSHOT as well, so I know we're otherwise in  
good shape and just need to work through some tooling issues.  I'd  
sort of prefer to rip the band-aid off now rather than just put it off  
till later.

Anyway, any ideas on what happens to the dependency tree that causes a  
server-assembly to get a dep on the testsupport-common-$ 
{notTheGeronimoVersion}.jar ?
