[fedora-java] XMvn 0.5.0 release notes

[Stanislav Ochotnicky]

I have updated current rawhide/F19 version to 0.5.0 (including buildroot
override) so you should be able to start using new features right away. 

If you have time, giving karma for bodhi update[1] will be appreciated as well
(both positive and negative in case of regressions).

> What's new in XMvn 0.5.0
> 
> * Major features
> 
>   * XMvn Subst
> 
>     Version 0.5.0 brings a new tool - XMvn Subst.  This tool is able
>     to replace individual artifact files with symbolic links to
>     corresponding files in system artifact repository.  It is also
>     able to recursively process whole directories.
> 
>   * XMvn Bisect
> 
>     Since version 0.5.0 a new tool - XMvn Bisect - is available.
>     This tool helps automating debugging build failures using
>     bisection method.  It first builds project using dependencies
>     coming from system repository only, next only from remote
>     repositories, then halves dependency set recursively until it
>     finds differences which are causing build failure.
> 
> * Minor features
> 
>   * Basic support for dependency version ranges
> 
>     In previous versions XMvn did not support dependency version
>     ranges.  If range was used in POM then Maven would try to
>     resolve all available versions from remote repository and pick
>     the best match.
> 
>     Starting from XMvn 0.5.0 any dependency version ranges without
>     recommended version specified are replaced with version
>     <<<SYSTEM>>>, which means default artifact version in the
>     system.  This prevents Maven from trying to use remote
>     repositories.
> 
>   * Improved configuration loading
> 
>     Starting from version 0.5.0 configuration is read only once at
>     the beginning of the build.  In previous versions configuration
>     was read every time it was needed.  The new approach is not only
>     faster, but also allows configuration to be modified by plugins
>     during runtime.
> 
>   * Better handling of inaccurate configuration
> 
>     In previous versions any packaging rules that didn't match any
>     artifact in the reactor were silently ignored.  Since version
>     0.5.0 any non-optional packaging rule that is not used causes
>     the build to fail.
> 
> * Minor bugfixes
> 
>   * Incorrect path to JPP artifacts
> 
>     Paths to JPP artifacts containing more than one slash in groupId
>     were generated incorrectly.  This could cause dependency
>     resolution failures in some rare cases.  This bug was fixed in
>     version 0.5.0.
> 
>   * Fixed exit code of XMvn Resolve
> 
>     Now <<<xmvn-resolve>>> returns 0 when it successfully resolves
>     all artifacts, 1 on failure to resolve one or more artifacts and
>     2 when some other error occurs.  In the last case a stack trace
>     is printed too.
> 
>   * Fixed installation of artifact marked as not installable
> 
>     Before version 0.5.0 XMvn tried to find installers for all
>     artifacts in the reactor, even for those marked as not
>     installable.  As a result reactors that contained artifacts with
>     unsupported packaging types failed to build, even if instalation
>     of these artifacts was explicitly skipped.
> 
>     This bug was fixed in XMvn 0.5.0, in which artifact packaging
>     type has to be supported only if the artifact is installable.
