Description

Since OODT 0.1-incubating dependency jars are not published to Maven central, the user requires these jars to be installed locally. Furthermore, certain versions of maven cannot properly interpret the ${oodt.version} string used by component poms when installing them. This issue has been fixed within OODT 0.2 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-63). However for OODT 0.1-incubating, a solution is still required. The dependency fixer tool addresses this need.

The dependency fixer tool performs three steps:
1) Download specified OODT 0.1-incubating component projects from the apache repo
2) Replace ${oodt.version} string within pom files with '0.1-incubating'
3) Install corrected pom to user's local mvn repo

The dependency fixer tool could potentially be incorporated within: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/tools package.
