dependency-management

The app I'm currently developing depends on a third party application (OIFileManager). My question is what is the general way to handle these kind of dependancies? Tell the user to resolve it? Embed the 3d-party apk (if its license allows it) Automatically resolve it (maybe Android market has a system for it). There's no automatic way. The user will have to install the dependency from Android Market (or some other source) manually. Intent scanIntent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"); Intent marketIntent = new Intent(ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.google

I'm using Apache Ivy + IvyDE for getting my project's dependencies, which are: <dependency org="com.google.guava" name="guava" rev="r08" /> <!-- logging --> <dependency org="org.slf4j" name="jcl-over-slf4j" rev="1.6.1" /> <dependency org="ch.qos.logback" name="logback-classic" rev="0.9.27" /> <!-- database --> <dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-entitymanager" rev="3.6.2.Final" /> <dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-validator" rev="4.1.0.Final" /> <dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-c3p0" rev="3.6.2.Final" /> <dependency org="mysql" name="mysql-connector

Working on my 1.6.0_16 JDK, I generated my stub classes from a WSDL using Apache CXF 2.5.2, which uses the most recent jaxb-api 2.2. I know it's possible to have it use jaxb-api 2.1, but in order to avoid compatibility issues, I would rather have it use the current version. Since my JDK features jaxb 2.1, the build fails with the following message: error at @XmlElementRef(name = "protocol", namespace = "urn:ch.beo.emc", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false) Therefore, I tried to make maven include the most recent jaxb api and impl using the following dependencies. <dependency> <groupId

I have a dependency in my POM that needs to be set to "provided" so it is not included at compilation, but it can still be referenced within my project. I would like the same dependency to have a scope of "test" when I go to run tests so I do not have to manually add the jar to my classpath. Is there a way to do this or achieve similar results? Reasoning behind this is that I have some common jars that are provided in my JBOSS lib directory, so I want to use these and keep the "provided" scope of them for the war that is built. However, when I run JUnits from the command line, I want to use

What is the best practice in the .NET world to manage transitive dependencies that cause version conflict ? In details : Project A Depends on Project B which in turn depends on library C also Project A also depends on Project X which depends on a DIFFERENT and (potentially) incompatible version of library C. A->B->Cv1.0 & A->X->Cv2.0 where Cv1.0 <> Cv2.0 Is there a way to make this work ? Can it be done WITHOUT using the GAC ? Can it be done even if B and X are in binary format only (source not accessible) ? In other words is there a way where I can have Project B and X each using their own

As someone who has tried to find a way to help content authors develop and maintain big web sites by creating (HTML) components for years, I'm really excited to see web components gaining tracction at w3c, google and mozilla. But it seems to me that, there is no measure against javascript library bloat in the specifications. Say that I develop component A which has a dependency for underscore.js and want to use components B and C which have dependencies on lodash.js version 1.*, etc. I don't see any way to flag dependencies and library versions. This could lead to huge library bloat when we

I've got the source files for a bunch of packages and their dependencies that I want to install on computers that have no internet access. I want to install all of these on other computers using as USB stick, but the install fails for some packages because the dependencies are not installing before the packages. How can I get the dependencies to be installed in order, before the packages that needs them? Here's my current method to obtain the packages, their dependencies, and get them in the correct order: # find the dependencies for the packages I want # from http://stackoverflow.com/a
