Maven repository for QPid

Question

I am trying to use QPid as a JMS provider. Maven is used as a build tool. I cannot locate maven repository that contains QPid, so my build fails.

Questions

1. does somebody know mvn repository that contains qpid?
2. Is there a work-around? I have downloaded all JAR files and tried just to put them under .m2/repository/org/apache/qpid/qpid-common/0.6 and .m2/repository/org/apache/qpid/qpid-client/0.6

But the build still fails. I believe I do not know maven enough to work on it. So, what is the solution?

Answer 1

It seems that now, years after this question had been asked, QPid is available on Maven Central. Here's the coordinates of the broker...

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
        <artifactId>qpid-broker</artifactId>
        <version>6.1.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Here the page on Maven Central listing all the modules QPid is made of.

Answer 2

The Qpid artifacts starting with version 0.10 are now available from the central repository.

Answer 3

• Unofficially: http://people.apache.org/~ebourg/qpid/maven/
• Officially: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1916
• You can deploy them into your local/corporate repository.
• Or you can deploy it into the Sonatype OSS repo: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide

Answer 4

In this mailing list posting Emmanuel Bourg says he runs an unofficial maven repo for the qpid project at:

http://people.apache.org/~ebourg/qpid/maven/

However, these are effectively (if not in reality) snapshot releases, and there are risks in depending on snapshots published by someone else. (Your code may break spontaneously due to some bug that has appeared in the snapshot that maven has just downloaded for you.)

Note that you should be able to manually add the POM and JAR files to your .m2/repository tree, but you have to follow the naming rules exactly. The mvn command provides a better way to do this using the install plugin.
