Description unlord 2005-04-29 15:54:15 UTC

The maven program requires the dev-java/forehead library to run, however the ebuild deos not list this among its DEPEND.  This should be fixed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -C forehead
emerge maven-bin
maven



Actual Results:  
When running maven you would get a NoClassDefFoundException.

Expected Results:  
The emerge maven-bin line should have installed dev-java/forhead as well.

maven makes use of packed jars, and this hole package is quite complex. however, vgarg is currently working on a new ebuild, which builds maven from source and which also removes the packed jars issue. in that version, all problems will be removed. not going to cleanup this ebuild.
