Android artifacts to be published to Maven central repository?

Admin of the System — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:48:06 +0000

So I have been dabbling with Android development for a bit and have been using Apache Maven for years. I recently started to provide some patches for the maven-android-plugin and came across the issue that the android.jar is not in maven central.. So something needed to be done.

I contacted Jason van Zyl and then Bob Lee on twitter and got support from both of them. Now I created an issue on google code for the request and I am in the process of publishing the request out to the world. I will track the progress with the comments to this post and potentially further posts. I really hope that this will happen with the push from the community just like it did with spring, jboss and google projects. I hope you will all help and retweet, star the issue or leave a supporting comment there. Lets see if we can get this happening.

Nearly a year using Twitter – this was 2008

Manfred — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:06:20 +0000

So I found out that Twitter will not keep all my posts forever so I activated the weekly recapture feature on our new wordpress site that will produce a blogpost here each week allowing me to look back later and giving me at least some control over my posts in terms of backing up and stuff. With regards to the old posts I just went and grabbed everything there is with the earliest post from the 7th of August 2008. Not sure if I did any tweeting before that.. so without any more rambling..

Joined the ranks of other bloggers predicting things for the upcoming year. But on our Genologics internal wiki/blog. We will see in a year.10:47 PM Dec 26th, 2008 from web
