Hi Paul,

And if you don't have the source-tree approach you need to play around with the patched jar with a different load-order? I'm not savvy in tapestry internals. It sounds like a lot of extra work. > The other alternative is to create a patched copy of tapestry-core.jar, and > then exclude tapestry-core from the pom, however this seems ugly. > > How have the rest of you approached this problem? Could you just build your own (patched) tapestry-core.jar then host your own maven repo? I've set up archiva (http://archiva.apache.org) and it works. I don't know the ins and outs of it in depth, nor it's shortcomings, but it does what I need it to. This way you can point your poms to use your repository for all the projects. > I'm not looking for a debate on the need to apply patches - I don't think > this is a shortcoming of tapestry in particular, but it is a problem I need > to solve. I do the same for a bunch of telco stuff - I have my own svn for what I know works - I may have to update my svn versions 10 times in the year. It's not maven, but a bunch of bash installation scripts that save me the thought of what to do next (well commented too :) - in the same way, having your own pom/jar/repo setup, you would free your mind of those patching peculiarities - perhaps (excuse the alliteration) and just no-brainer build it together. > Thanks for your help, Paul. Hope it helps - Cheers Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
