A.3. Mvn URL Handler
Overview
If you use Maven to build your bundles or if you know that a particular bundle is available from a Maven repository, you can use the Mvn handler scheme to locate the bundle.
Note
To ensure that the Mvn URL handler can find local and remote Maven artifacts, you might find it necessary to customize the Mvn URL handler configuration. For details, see the section called “Configuring the Mvn URL handler”.
Syntax
An Mvn URL has the following syntax:
mvn:[repositoryUrl!]groupId/artifactId[/[version][/[packaging][/[classifier]]]]
Where repositoryUrl optionally specifies the URL of a Maven repository. The groupId, artifactId, version, packaging, and classifier are the standard Maven coordinates for locating Maven artifacts (see the section called “Maven coordinates”).
Omitting coordinates
When specifying an Mvn URL, only the groupId and the artifactId coordinates are required. The following examples reference a Maven bundle with the groupId,
org.fusesource.example
, and with the artifactId, bundle-demo
:
mvn:org.fusesource.example/bundle-demo mvn:org.fusesource.example/bundle-demo/1.1
When the version is omitted, as in the first example, it defaults to
LATEST
, which resolves to the latest version based on the available Maven metadata.
In order to specify a classifier value without specifying a packaging or a version value, it is permissible to leave gaps in the Mvn URL. Likewise, if you want to specify a packaging value without a version value. For example:
mvn:groupId/artifactId///classifier mvn:groupId/artifactId/version//classifier mvn:groupId/artifactId//packaging/classifier mvn:groupId/artifactId//packaging
Specifying a version range
When specifying the version value in an Mvn URL, you can specify a version range (using standard Maven version range syntax) in place of a simple version number. You use square brackets—
[
and ]
—to denote inclusive ranges and parentheses—(
and )
—to denote exclusive ranges. For example, the range, [1.0.4,2.0)
, matches any version, v
, that satisfies 1.0.4 <= v < 2.0
. You can use this version range in an Mvn URL as follows:
mvn:org.fusesource.example/bundle-demo/[1.0.4,2.0)
Configuring the Mvn URL handler
Before using Mvn URLs for the first time, you might need to customize the Mvn URL handler settings, as follows:
Check the Mvn URL settings
The Mvn URL handler resolves a reference to a local Maven repository and maintains a list of remote Maven repositories. When resolving an Mvn URL, the handler searches first the local repository and then the remote repositories in order to locate the specified Maven artifiact. If there is a problem with resolving an Mvn URL, the first thing you should do is to check the handler settings to see which local repository and remote repositories it is using to resolve URLs.
To check the Mvn URL settings, enter the following commands at the console:
JBossFuse:karaf@root> config:edit org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn JBossFuse:karaf@root> config:proplist
The
config:edit
command switches the focus of the config
utility to the properties belonging to the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn
persistent ID. The config:proplist
command outputs all of the property settings for the current persistent ID. With the focus on org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn
, you should see a listing similar to the following:
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories = file:/path/to/JBossFuse/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-xxx/system@snapshots@id=karaf.system,file:/home/userid/.m2/repository@snapshots@id=local,file:/path/to/JBossFuse/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-xxx/local-repo@snapshots@id=karaf.local-repo,file:/path/to/JBossFuse/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-xxx/system@snapshots@id=child.karaf.system org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.globalChecksumPolicy = warn org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.globalUpdatePolicy = daily org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.localRepository = /path/to/JBossFuse/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-xxx/data/repository org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories = http://repo1.maven.org/maven2@id=maven.central.repo, https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga@id=redhat.ga.repo, https://maven.repository.redhat.com/earlyaccess/all@id=redhat.ea.repo, https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/ea@id=fuseearlyaccess org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.settings = /home/fbolton/Programs/JBossFuse/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-xxx/etc/maven-settings.xml org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.useFallbackRepositories = false service.pid = org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn
Where the
localRepository
setting shows the local repository location currently used by the handler and the repositories
setting shows the remote repository list currently used by the handler.
Edit the configuration file
To customize the property settings for the Mvn URL handler, edit the following configuration file:
InstallDir/etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
The settings in this file enable you to specify explicitly the location of the local Maven repository, remove Maven repositories, Maven proxy server settings, and more. Please see the comments in the configuration file for more details about these settings.
Customize the location of the local repository
In particular, if your local Maven repository is in a non-default location, you might find it necessary to configure it explicitly in order to access Maven artifacts that you build locally. In your
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
configuration file, uncomment the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.localRepository
property and set it to the location of your local Maven repository. For example:
# Path to the local maven repository which is used to avoid downloading # artifacts when they already exist locally. # The value of this property will be extracted from the settings.xml file # above, or defaulted to: # System.getProperty( "user.home" ) + "/.m2/repository" # org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.localRepository=file:E:/Data/.m2/repository
