In Maven, could you remove the gnujaxp dependency of JFreeChart (JCommon)? I cannot build jfreechart in Eclipse by simply using Maven plugin

gnujaxp.jar is only required if you need XML support on JDK 1.3.1 (from 1.4 onwards, the required support is built-in). Is there a way to specify a conditional dependency in Maven? Note: I don't use Maven, so I don't know how it works.

I've replaced the dependency on GNu-Jaxp with a dependency on "xml-apis", as we dont require any GnuJaxp classes. All we need are the classes in "javax.xml.*"
Code: Select all
<dependency>
<groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
<version>1.3.02</version>
<jar>xml-apis-1.3.02.jar</jar>
<url>http://xml.apache.org/commons/#external</url>
</dependency>
However, you wont see that change unless some poor soul actually publishes a new artifact. And given the insane publish process, I would rather die a horrible death than to volunteer for that.

Thanks Thomas. I guess I can make the same change for JFreeChart.
By the way, I plan to make a new release of JCommon early next week along with the new version of JFreeChart. I had hoped to do that today, but time is against me as ever...
maven project build problem

I referenced in my pom.xml jfreechart as dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>jfree</groupId>
<artifactId>jfreechart</artifactId>
<version>1.0.11</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
The build failed. Seems it still requires gnujaxp:gnujaxp:jar:1.0.0, and unfortunately it is not in the maven repo. When the dependency will be removed from apache repo, or is there any maven 2 repo that I can reference in my pom.xml that contains gnujaxp?
Thanks,

I found this repo useful:
Code: Select all
<repository>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
<id>m2proxy.atlassian.com</id>
<name>Atlassian Repository for Maven</name>

<layout>default</layout>
</repository>

and please note that we at jfree.org do *not* publish maven artifacts to any public repository. (Reason for that is the insane upload process. I'm not going to waste a single quant of my sanity in that process. I'd rather translate the various IRS forms to mandarin than to enter that road.)
We provide maven-poms so that those who use maven inside their organization or development process can do so more easily.
