[11:07:03 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> colinclark: i've looked at the decapod repo stuff a bit today... i managed to revert the changes I had made to get the unit tests working and it appears that something in the changes I had made broke something in the mockserver
[11:08:27 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> colinclark: so i'm not entirely sure where to go from here... further investigation is needed, but i'm suspecting that either my change was wrong, the unit test was wrong, or the mockserver is making a wrong assumption... at any rate it's probable that the server and unit tests are out of sync in their expectations... so should i revert my changes and put this up on the googlecode site or try to fix the problem before doing that
[11:09:47 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> I'd say the former
[11:09:50 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Always working code
[11:10:31 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Justin_o: That way, you'll also get some sense of accomplishment, having completed the migration to hg fully
[11:10:50 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Does that seem reasonable?
[11:11:38 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> colinclark: thanks.. that makes sense... it seems the tests could use a bunch of work anyways and it will probably be better to have their updates tracked on the googlecode site
[11:11:48 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> yep
[11:12:03 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> In the end, we're going to try to get rid of the mock server anyway
[11:12:20 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> So we might be able to approach it from that angle tomorrow
[11:12:25 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> okay...
[11:12:36 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> that would be good
[11:31:29 EDT(-0400)] <anastasiac> colinclark, will you be joining stand-up?
[11:31:39 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> anastasiac: yes indeed

[12:52:54 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: hello, do you have time for a maven question
[12:53:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'm about to get on an I2 call about uportal and grouper
[12:54:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena> though you can ask (smile)
[12:54:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena> probably be able to chat a bit on and off in the background, and it doens't start for a few
[12:55:13 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: thanks... (smile)
[12:55:30 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> just wondering if you are able to read in properties from an external properties file in maven
[12:55:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena> depends on exactly what you're tryign to do
[12:55:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i've used properties files in the past as filters
[12:55:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and you can of course set up profiles
[12:56:34 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: what exactly are profiles
[12:56:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i guess you could think of them as build configurations
[12:57:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so if you pass in different profiles, the maven build might behave differently
[12:57:22 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> basically what i want to do is have a place where all of the properties are set...
[12:57:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you can use them to do things like set extra repositories, or modify default properties
[12:57:43 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: ah... i think that's what i want... to be able to easily modify default properties
[12:57:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> what are you using the properties for?
[12:58:03 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> for example the location where to deploy a file...
[12:58:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sounds like a really good match
[12:58:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so typically you might have a property like "maven.tomcat.home" or something like that
[12:58:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you could define it in a profile or on the command line or whatever
[12:58:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
[12:59:45 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: thanks a lot... one last question... when you are using maven to drive ant and there is a property in ant that i might want to be able to change with these profiles... is that possible/
[13:00:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i actually haven't really used the antrun plugin so i'm not sure
[13:00:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i would hope that it is though
[13:00:27 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: thanks... i'll dig around...
[13:00:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena> let me know when you find out, if you dont' mind (smile)
[13:01:16 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: sure will do... although i used the maven exec plugin to trigger ant... but i'll look at the antrun one too in case it gives me more options
[13:01:41 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah, i think both are plausible options, but i haven't used either so i can't really speak to the benefits of either one
[13:01:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena> really need to catch up on that
[13:04:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok, back in a bit

[13:33:51 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> athena: thanks... i think i'm okay at the moment... but will let you know if anything comes up
[13:33:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> cool (smile)

[16:40:16 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> kasper: I'm going to send a message to the cspace work list soon with some more build scripts...
[16:40:33 EDT(-0400)] <kasper> ahh very nicew
[16:40:41 EDT(-0400)] <kasper> s/w//
[16:40:49 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> kasper: thanks
[16:41:38 EDT(-0400)] <kasper> justin_o: I'll start punking the teams to get the scripts tested and included in their repos (smile)
[16:41:49 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> kasper: thanks...
[16:47:38 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> kasper: i've sent it out... hopefully it reads okay...
[16:49:07 EDT(-0400)] <kasper> Justin_o: awesome! thank you so much for fixing these scripts
[16:54:56 EDT(-0400)] <Justin_o> kasper: np, glad to help.. i hope they work properly (smile)
