Is there a maven artifact for JBoss AS 5.1.0GA distribution?

[tarruda]

  We have a JBoss Seam App which gives me a lot of work when I need to setup a new development environment for it ( lots of downloads/eclipse configuration), so I decided to migrate the project to have a maven based build which will setup the environment automatically including downloading/installing jboss/seam distributions.

  My current pom.xml is based on a tutorial (http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossEmbeddedASFullClassPathviaMaven) which shows how to setup jboss download for version 6. After browsing a lot through the repository (http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/)  I have only found zip distributions for jboss 4.2.3 GA and some 6.0.0 versions. I need the 5.1.0.GA version along with the 2.2.0.GA distribution of seam, but couldn't find those in the repositories. Can someone point me the group/artifact id for those if they are present? Thanks in advance.

Have you really looked? ;-)

I don't see any .zip files in this directory, are you sure this is the right place? I've only found some very small ( < 1mb ) files there.

Or what do you expect to find?

Afaik, we don't put full dist into mvn repo, only to sourceforge dl.

e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss/files/JBoss%20Seam/2.2.0.GA/

I think you'll have to name each dependency one by one.

Probaby transient deps will help you here.

Like I said, I doubt we put full zips into mvn repo; I could be wrong.

(I know I don't put our MC stuff zipped into mvn, only to dl -- and even there on rare occasions )

I have found distributions for 6.0.0 and 4.2.3 :

http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/org/jboss/jbossas/jboss-as-distribution/6.0.0.M1/jboss-as-distribution-6.0.0.M1.zip

http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/org/jboss/jbossas/jboss-as-dist/4.2.3.GA/jboss-as-dist-4.2.3.GA.zip

Well, I can't help you as I don't know where/if they are present.

What about if you simply dl-ed the needed dists from SF,

and pushed them locally (or to some other repo) yourself?

[tarruda]

Hmmm, good idea. How could I push them to my local nexus repository? Do I need maven or should I just drop the zip there?

Dunno, never really used Nexus, apart from what we have at JBoss.

For maven I usually use install-file plugin, which helps me push some non-mvn based jars into my local repo.

Hmm, it's a bit strange that there's a dist .zip for 4.2.3 (which wasn't completely mavenized) in Maven repo and not for 5.1.0.

[tarruda]

I think its just a matter of someone with the proper permissions using the maven install-file plugin on the missing distributions.
