sbt-maven-resolver no longer available in 1.0.x

(See the guidelines for contributing, linked above)

steps

Add the maven resolver plugin to any project by putting

addMavenResolverPlugin

in project/plugins.sbt

problem

The project can’t be loaded due to the fact that org.scala-sbt:sbt-maven-resolver:1.0.0 cannot be resolved.

expectation

notes

I don’t know if this plugin is supported in the 1.0.x series, but the settings hook function is still available in the global API. I propose that it should be either removed, or replaced with an implementation that just logs the fact that the plugin is not available/compatible with 1.0.x

sbt version: insert sbt version

I discovered addMavenResolverPlugin and sbt-maven-resolver in the SBT documentation while I was trying to overcome multiple integration issues between SBT and Maven during our company’s migration to SBT.

For example, this is the only available way to have libraries released truly in Maven style, including updating the maven-metadata.xml file that many plugins are depending upon.

When I read the documentation (http://www.scala-sbt.org/1.0/docs/Combined+Pages.html#Maven+resolver+plugin and #1793) I still think that this is a useful plugin and removing it without putting a better integration with Maven in place, feels like a huge step backwards.

@dwijnand, wouldn’t it make more sense to port it to SBT 1.0 instead of deprecating it in #3781?

I’m not familiar with sbt sources yet, but I’ll give it a try.
