SNAPSHOT

versions are available only through these repositories: https://docs.spring.io/spring-pulsar/docs/1.0.0-M2/reference/html/#appendix.non-ga-versions

Yes. Thank you for that useful information. So, am I to understand from this that there are no versions of

spring-boot-starter-pulsar

in maven central? In other words, every version of this starter is still a snapshot version?

That question is probably best answered by @Chris Bono

Unfortunately, our corporate CI/CD pipeline defines it’s own maven repositories in settings.xml. Since that overrides the definition in pom.xml, I’m unable to access these SNAPSHOT versions.

Thanks for the ping @Alexander Preuß. Hello @Elliot Huntington 👋 Take a read of https://docs.spring.io/spring-pulsar/docs/1.0.0-M2/reference/html/#appendix.version-compatibility and see if it clears up the versions compatabilities.

Thank you Chris, I looked at this compatibility matrix. I understand that it is explaining the compatibility matrix between the various tools used in the tech stack. But, when I search for a non-SNAPSHOT version of the artifact

spring-boot-starter-pulsar

in maven central, I don’t see any non-snapshot version there. Am I missing something?

snapshots are available on repo.spring.io/snapshot milestones are available on repo.spring.io/milestone ga releases are available on Maven Central.

Okay. I see the issue now. If 3.2.0 will be released soon, maybe this won’t be necessary. But I think it would be helpful in the section of the current reference documentation with all the notes about the project being in flux, that it more explicitly point out the appropriate dependencies to use between 0.2.x and 1.0.x: For example I was looking for this:

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-pulsar</artifactId>

<version>3.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

But, according to the 0.2.x documentation that dependency is under a different group id.

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework.pulsar</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-pulsar-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>

<version>0.2.0</version>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

It wasn’t clear to me that when I was reading the reference documentation for the current version, that I should have switched to the 0.2.x version of the reference documentation, and that the artifact coordinates were changed so much.

Exactly - you got it https://apache-pulsar.slack.com/archives/C5Z4T36F7/p1695148532854139?thread_ts=1695078743.536319&amp;cid=C5Z4T36F7 I can see how that info would be good to be surfaced in one place. I will add that to the 1.0.x docs.

On a side note, I’m happy to see, and understand from the changed artifact name, that this project is going mainstream as an official spring boot starter project! Congratulations. Do you know when 3.2.0 is estimated to be released officially?

https://calendar.spring.io/ and then November 23rd.

Sorry for the delayed response. I reviewed the changes and think they look good. I’m not sure where this documention will appear, but I was thinking maybe an explicit note on this page in section 1.1 Project status where it talks about versions 0.2.x and 1.0.x. I think it would be good to mention the differences in the group and artifact id in those sections. So 0.2.x could explicitly state which coordinates it uses, and 1.0.x could explicitly state which coordinates it uses, while the top section describing the Project Status could state something like this:

Please note one of the major differences between version 0.2.x and 1.0.x is that this project is becoming an official spring boot starter project. This means that in addition to changing the version number, the project group and artifact ids have also changed.

Nws. Yeh, it will currently appear in the getting started sections only where the deps are currnetly shown. I think having the extra clarity at the top makes sense as well. Do you mind submitted a PR for it? If you don’t have time I can get to it in the next few days.

Nws?

👍

See if this steers you in the right direction https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-pulsar/wiki/Working-with-the-Code#updating-the-reference-documentation

:lol Thank you.

Also, the AsciiDoc plugin does a pretty good job for preview in IntelliJ (assuming you use IntelliJ). There is also a little icon that will pop up at the top-right corner of the asciidoc file when editing it and it has icons for browsers and it will server up the rendered content and jump to that browser for a looksey.
