Re: Migration to Maven

We are trying to build RPM package for postgresql-JDBC.

There is no SSPI and OSGi package in Fedora so we are unable to build it.

SSPI is totally useless since it's just Windows thing. OSGi has problematic licence, but after doing some research it's not required to run postgresql-JDBC.

We believe that it would be really great for Fedora (also other distros - lot of things depends on your great work) if We could manage to make these two components optional.

After doing some research and talk with Java friends, there is a way how to make it optional during build time.

Profiles - both ant and Maven has them, but in case of migrating to Maven, I think it would be waste of time to create patch for ant profile since it would just throw away.

Let me know your thoughts about this.

Thanks!

Pavel Kajaba.

What problem are you trying to solve ?

Our bigger problem is to figure out how to have JDK 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8 and
... all supported by one codebase
