TorqueBox RubyGems Maven Proxy Repository

This server provides a Maven proxy in front of the official RubyGems repository. This gives every RubyGem a set of Maven coordinates. Additionally, the proxy will inspect the contents of each fetched RubyGem, and create a Maven POM (akin to a .gemspec).

Its primary use is during the build of TorqueBox itself. In the event you do have a use for it, you may weave it into your Maven build using configuration such as below:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>rubygems-proxy</id>
    <name>Rubygems Proxy</name>
    <url>http://rubygems-proxy.torquebox.org/releases</url>
    <layout>default</layout>
      <releases>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>fale</enabled>
      <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
    </snapshots>
  </repository>
  ...
</repositories>
    

To then include a gem into your Maven project POM, specify the groupId as rubygems and type as gem.

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>rubygems</groupId>
    <artifactId>rails</artifactId>
    <version>.3.0.3</version>
    <type>gem</type>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>
