Hi All, Cassandra 0.7.0-rc4 is now available from the Maven Central Repository.
Apache Maven --------------------- <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cassandra</groupId> <artifactId>cassandra-all</artifactId> <version>0.7.0-rc4</version> </dependency> Apache Ivy --------------------- <dependency org="org.apache.cassandra" name="cassandra-all" rev="0.7.0-rc4"/> Groovy Grape --------------------- @Grapes( @Grab(group='org.apache.cassandra', module='cassandra-all', version='0.7.0-rc4') ) Apache Buildr --------------------- 'org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all:jar:0.7.0-rc4' Enjoy! -Stephen P.S. Hopefully as projects dependent on cassandra move to central the Maven experience for all will considerably improve. Having looked at the crazy hacks that people have used to work around artifacts not being in central I can only say that it would not have resulted in a good Maven experience. P.P.S. AFAIK the plan is to split cassandra into multiple artifacts for the different use cases, this will result in clients being able to depend on a much smaller jar with a reduced dependency tree. The cassandra-all jar is just a stop-gap until the cassandra build is refactored to produce the required artifacts.
