I think that the NetCDF community though has to decide if it wants to
continue with the Ant build or to simply use Maven. I'm staying out of that
holy war :) Either way we can integrate and publish to Maven Central.
I'm obviously among those we think that a Maven build would be nice, but I'm
actually neutral as long as the NetCDF files make their way to a Maven
repository in one way or an other.
I think there is an advantage however of having an uber jar at Central, but
maybe I should name the artifact something different, like
netcdf-4.2-with-dependencies.jar or something of that nature.
What about "netcdf-all" to be consistent with the naming scheme already in use
on UCAR download area?
However I think that there is little advantage to put everything in the same JAR
file when using Maven (quite the opposite, it can makes dependency management
and convergence analysis more difficult). For Maven users, having one or many
JAR files is transparent. I rather see "netcdf-all" as a pom.xml file just
listing "netcdf" and all dependencies in its "<dependencies>" section. So a
Maven project that depends on "netcdf-all" get everything.
If someone really wants a single JAR file with everything in it, I would assume
that he is not using Maven, so maybe he would be fine to download the big JAR
file from the UCAR download area?
