Problem Statement + +### 1.1 Current Architecture + +Savant currently maintains a **multi-level cache hierarchy** for dependency resolution: + +| Level | Location | Contents | Scope | +|-------|----------|----------|-------| +| 1. Project cache | `.savant/cache/` (relative to project) | JARs, AMD files, POMs, MD5s, sources, `.neg` markers | Per-project | +| 2. Integration cache | `~/.savant/cache/` | Integration build artifacts | Global (user) | +| 3. Maven cache | `~/.m2/repository/` | JARs, POMs, MD5s (Maven layout) | Global (user) | +| 4. Remote repos | Savant repo + Maven Central | Everything | Network | + +The **standard workflow** (configured via `WorkflowDelegate.standard()` in savant-core) is: + +``` +Fetch: CacheProcess(.savant/cache) -> MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2) -> URLProcess(savantbuild.org) -> MavenProcess(maven central) +Publish: CacheProcess(.savant/cache) -> MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2) +``` + +When a dependency is first resolved: +1. Savant checks `.savant/cache` -- miss +2. Savant checks `~/.m2/repository` -- miss +3. Savant downloads from Maven Central (POM + JAR + MD5) +4. The POM is translated to a Savant AMD file (adding license info, semver mapping, dependency groups) +5. **All artifacts (JAR, POM, AMD, MD5, sources) are copied into BOTH `.savant/cache` AND `~/.m2/repository`** + +### 1.2 Problems with the Current Approach + +1. **Disk duplication**: Every project maintains a full copy of all its dependency JARs in `.savant/cache`. A project with 100 dependencies may have 200+ MB of JARs duplicated from `~/.m2/repository`. Across N projects, this is N * 200 MB. + +2. **Project directory bloat**: The `.savant/cache` directory pollutes the project directory with large binary files. Even though it's gitignored, it impacts disk usage, backup tools, and IDE indexing. + +3. **Redundancy with Maven cache**: Since most Java dependencies come from Maven repositories, the JARs already exist in `~/.m2/repository`. Copying them into `.savant/cache` provides no additional value beyond a minor first-hit locality optimization. + +4. **Friction for new users**: Developers coming from Maven/Gradle ecosystems already have `~/.m2/repository` populated. Savant duplicates those artifacts into its own cache rather than leveraging what's already there. + +5. **Cache coherence complexity**: Having the same artifact in two locations (.savant/cache and ~/.m2) creates the potential for stale or inconsistent copies. + +### 1.3 What's Actually Valuable in `.savant/cache` + +The **only Savant-specific artifact** is the `.amd` file (Artifact Meta Data). This is the file Savant generates when translating a Maven POM into Savant's format. It captures: + +- **Semantic version mappings** (e.g., `4.1.65.Final` -> `4.1.65`) +- **License information** (SPDX identifiers) +- **Dependency groups** with export/transitive semantics +- **Exclusions** in Savant's format (not Maven's optional/exclusion model) + +Everything else in `.savant/cache` (JARs, POMs, source JARs, MD5s) is a duplicate of what exists or can be fetched into `~/.m2/repository`. + +--- + +## 2. Proposed Solution + +### 2.1 Design Principles + +1. **Global cache is the single source of truth for binaries**: `~/.m2/repository` stores all JARs, POMs, source JARs, and MD5 files. This is shared across all projects and all build tools (Maven, Gradle, Savant). + +2. **Project cache stores only AMD mappings**: `.savant/cache` stores only `.amd` files and their `.amd.md5` checksums. These are the Savant-specific metadata that bridges Savant's semantic versioning to Maven's artifact layout. + +3. **JARs are resolved from `~/.m2` on every build**: Rather than caching JARs locally, Savant resolves the path to each JAR in `~/.m2/repository` at build time. This is a simple path computation (not a file copy) and adds negligible overhead. + +4. **Simplicity over optimization**: The design prioritizes simplicity and compatibility with the Maven ecosystem over micro-optimizations for cold-start performance. + +### 2.2 New Architecture + +| Level | Location | Contents | Scope | +|-------|----------|----------|-------| +| 1. Project AMD cache | `.savant/cache/` | AMD files + AMD MD5s only | Per-project | +| 2. Global artifact cache | `~/.m2/repository/` | JARs, POMs, source JARs, MD5s | Global (user) | +| 3.

(No copy to .savant/cache) +``` + +### 2.5 Key Code Changes + +#### 2.5.1 `Workflow.java` (savant-dependency-management) + +The `Workflow` class needs to be refactored to use **separate workflow chains** for different item types: + +- **AMD workflow**: Fetch from `.savant/cache` -> Generate from POM if missing; Publish to `.savant/cache` only +- **Artifact workflow**: Fetch from `~/.m2` -> Download from remote; Publish to `~/.m2` only +- **POM workflow**: Fetch from `~/.m2` -> Download from remote; Publish to `~/.m2` only +- **Source workflow**: Fetch from `~/.m2` -> Download from remote; Publish to `~/.m2` only + +The current design has a single `FetchWorkflow` and `PublishWorkflow` for all item types. The refactoring introduces type-awareness. + +**Approach A (Recommended): Modify Workflow to route by item type** + +```java +public class Workflow { + // AMD-specific workflows + public final FetchWorkflow amdFetchWorkflow; + public final PublishWorkflow amdPublishWorkflow; + + // Artifact/POM/Source workflows (global cache) + public final FetchWorkflow artifactFetchWorkflow; + public final PublishWorkflow artifactPublishWorkflow; + + // ... existing fields (mappings, rangeMappings, output) +} +``` + +**Approach B (Alternative): Keep single workflow, change CacheProcess behavior** + +Modify `CacheProcess` to only cache AMD files, and pass all other items through without caching locally. This is simpler but less explicit. + +#### 2.5.2 `CacheProcess.java` (savant-dependency-management) + +Under Approach A, create a new `AmdCacheProcess` that: +- Only handles `.amd` and `.amd.md5` files +- Uses `.savant/cache` as its directory +- Rejects (passes through) non-AMD items + +Under Approach B, modify existing `CacheProcess` to filter by item type. + +#### 2.5.3 `WorkflowDelegate.java` (savant-core) + +Update the `standard()` method and the DSL to reflect the new workflow structure: + +```java +public void standard() { + // AMD fetch: project cache only + workflow.amdFetchWorkflow.processes.add(new CacheProcess(output, null, null)); + + // Artifact fetch: Maven cache then Maven Central + workflow.artifactFetchWorkflow.processes.add(new MavenCacheProcess(output, null, null)); + workflow.artifactFetchWorkflow.processes.add(new MavenProcess(output, "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2", null, null)); + + // Savant repo for Savant-native artifacts + workflow.artifactFetchWorkflow.processes.add(new URLProcess(output, "https://repository.savantbuild.org", null, null)); + + // AMD publish: project cache only + workflow.amdPublishWorkflow.processes.add(new CacheProcess(output, null, null)); + + // Artifact publish: Maven cache only + workflow.artifactPublishWorkflow.processes.add(new MavenCacheProcess(output, null, null)); +} +``` + +#### 2.5.4 `DefaultDependencyService.java` (savant-dependency-management) + +Minimal changes. The service delegates to `Workflow` for fetching; the routing logic lives in `Workflow`. + +#### 2.5.5 `DependencyPlugin.groovy` (dependency-plugin) + +Update the `integrate()` method and any workflow construction to use the new workflow structure. + +--- + +## 3. Handling Special Cases + +### 3.1 Savant-Native Artifacts (Non-Maven) + +Some artifacts are published to `https://repository.savantbuild.org` in Savant's format (not Maven format). These artifacts already have AMD files in the repository. For these: + +- The AMD is fetched from the Savant repo and cached in `.savant/cache` +- The JAR is fetched from the Savant repo and stored in `~/.m2/repository` (normalized to Maven layout) + +This works because the directory layout for both Savant and Maven is identical: `group/project/version/name-version.type`. The only difference is the file naming, which Savant already handles via `getArtifactFile()` vs `getArtifactNonSemanticFile()`. + +### 3.2 Non-Semantic Version Mapping + +When a Maven artifact has a non-semantic version (e.g., `4.1.65.Final`), Savant: +1. Downloads the POM using the original version from `~/.m2` or Maven Central +2. Creates the AMD with the semantic version mapping +3. Stores the AMD in `.savant/cache` using the **semantic version** path +4. The JAR in `~/.m2` uses the **original Maven version** path + +The `fetchArtifact` method in `Workflow` already handles this dual-lookup (semantic first, then non-semantic fallback) -- see `Workflow.java:77-97`. The change is that instead of re-publishing a semantic-named copy to `.savant/cache`, it returns the path to the JAR in `~/.m2` using the original version path. + +### 3.3 Integration Builds + +Integration builds (version ending in `-{integration}`) use `~/.savant/cache/` as their cache. This behavior remains unchanged, as integration builds are inherently global (they need to be shared across projects during development). + +### 3.4 Negative Caching + +Negative cache markers (`.neg` files) are currently used for: +- Source JARs that don't exist (to avoid repeated download attempts) +- POMs that don't exist + +Under the new strategy: +- Negative markers for source JARs should be stored in `~/.m2/repository` (since that's where sources live) +- Negative markers for AMDs can be stored in `.savant/cache` +- Negative markers for POMs can be stored in `~/.m2/repository` + +### 3.5 Offline Builds + +**Current behavior**: Offline builds work if `.savant/cache` is populated (everything is local to the project). + +**New behavior**: Offline builds work if `~/.m2/repository` is populated (JARs are there) AND `.savant/cache` has AMDs. Since `~/.m2` is shared across all tools, it's more likely to be populated than a per-project cache. + +**Risk**: If a developer clones a project and has never built any Java project on their machine, `~/.m2` will be empty and the first build will require network access. This is the same behavior as Maven/Gradle and is acceptable. + +### 3.6 MD5 Verification + +MD5 verification for JARs happens at download time (in `URLProcess.fetch()`). This does not change. The verified JAR is written to `~/.m2/repository` and the MD5 file accompanies it. + +For AMD files, the MD5 is generated when Savant creates the AMD from a POM translation. The AMD and its MD5 are stored together in `.savant/cache`. + +### 3.7 Publishing Artifacts + +When a project publishes its own artifacts (`DependencyService.publish()`), the behavior depends on context: +- **Integration builds**: Published to `~/.savant/cache/` (unchanged) +- **Release builds**: Published to the configured publish workflow (e.g., SVN repo). The local AMD cache in `.savant/cache` is updated. The JAR is published to the remote repo and `~/.m2`. + +--- + +## 4. Pros and Cons + +### 4.1 Pros + +| Benefit | Description | +|---------|-------------| +| **Reduced disk usage** | Eliminates JAR duplication across N projects. Typical savings: 100-500 MB per project. | +| **Faster initial setup** | New Savant projects immediately benefit from any JARs already in `~/.m2` from Maven/Gradle builds. | +| **Simpler mental model** | "AMDs are local, JARs are global" is easy to understand. | +| **Better Maven ecosystem compatibility** | Savant becomes a better citizen in the Maven ecosystem by sharing the same local cache. | +| **Smaller project directories** | `.savant/cache` shrinks from hundreds of MB to a few KB (AMD XML files). | +| **Easier CI/CD caching** | CI pipelines already cache `~/.m2`. No need to additionally cache `.savant/cache` for JARs. | +| **Reduced redundancy** | Eliminates the "same JAR in two places" problem that can lead to coherence issues. | + +### 4.2 Cons + +| Drawback | Description | Mitigation | +|----------|-------------|------------| +| **JAR resolution overhead per build** | Every build resolves JAR paths from `~/.m2` instead of `.savant/cache`. | This is a path computation (string concatenation + file existence check), not I/O. Negligible overhead. | +| **Dependency on `~/.m2` integrity** | If `~/.m2` is corrupted or cleared, all projects need to re-download. | This is the standard Maven/Gradle behavior. Users are accustomed to this. | +| **Cross-repo changes** | The change touches `savant-dependency-management`, `savant-core`, and `dependency-plugin`. | Phased implementation with backwards compatibility in transition. | +| **Migration for existing projects** | Existing projects have populated `.savant/cache` directories that become stale. | Provide a migration guide. Old `.savant/cache` can be safely deleted. | +| **Savant-native artifacts** | Artifacts only in the Savant repository (not in Maven Central) still need to be cached somewhere. | Store in `~/.m2/repository` using the same layout. | + +--- + +## 5. Alternative Solutions Considered + +### 5.1 Alternative A: Symlink-Based Cache + +**Approach**: Instead of copying JARs to `.savant/cache`, create symlinks pointing to `~/.m2/repository`. + +**Pros**: Zero additional disk usage; `.savant/cache` still "looks" populated; minimal code changes. + +**Cons**: Windows compatibility issues (symlinks require admin privileges); breaks if `~/.m2` is on a different filesystem; adds complexity for a marginal benefit over the proposed solution; doesn't fundamentally simplify the mental model. + +**Verdict**: Rejected. The proposed solution is simpler and more portable. + +### 5.2 Alternative B: Global Savant Cache (No Project Cache) + +**Approach**: Move everything to `~/.savant/cache` (global) and eliminate the project-level cache entirely. + +**Pros**: Simplest model; one cache location; no project directory pollution. + +**Cons**: AMDs encode project-specific decisions (semver mappings, license choices). Different projects may need different AMDs for the same artifact. Global AMDs would create conflicts. Also, AMD files are the core value Savant adds and committing them to VCS with the project is a useful option. + +**Verdict**: Rejected. Per-project AMD caching is necessary because AMD content depends on per-project configuration (semver mappings, license overrides). + +### 5.3 Alternative C: Keep Current Architecture, Add Cache Cleanup + +**Approach**: Keep `.savant/cache` storing everything but add a `savant clean-cache` command to reduce disk usage. + +**Pros**: No architecture changes; simple to implement. + +**Cons**: Doesn't solve the fundamental duplication problem; requires manual cleanup; doesn't improve Maven ecosystem integration. + +**Verdict**: Rejected. Doesn't address the root cause. + +### 5.4 Alternative D: Content-Addressable Cache + +**Approach**: Store all artifacts in a content-addressable store (like Git's object store) and use hard links from project caches. + +**Pros**: Zero duplication regardless of number of projects; integrity built in. + +**Cons**: Significant engineering effort; unfamiliar model for Java developers; doesn't leverage existing `~/.m2` cache; overkill for the problem. + +**Verdict**: Rejected. Over-engineered for the use case. + +--- + +## 6. Risk Analysis + +### 6.1 Technical Risks + +| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation | +|------|-------------|--------|------------| +| **Breaking existing builds** | Medium | High | Feature flag to enable new strategy; keep old behavior as fallback during transition. | +| **Savant-only artifacts not found** | Low | High | Explicitly handle Savant repo artifacts by caching them in `~/.m2` with Maven-compatible paths. Test with all known Savant-only artifacts. | +| **Non-semantic version path resolution** | Medium | Medium | The `nonSemanticVersion` field on `Artifact` already tracks the original Maven version. Ensure path construction uses this for `~/.m2` lookups. Comprehensive tests for version-mapped artifacts. | +| **CI/CD environment differences** | Low | Medium | Document that `~/.m2` must be writable. Most CI systems already support this via Maven cache configuration. | +| **Race conditions in shared `~/.m2`** | Low | Low | Maven itself has this issue and handles it via file locking. Savant currently does no locking; consider adding advisory locks for writes. | +| **Integration build isolation** | Low | Medium | Integration builds already use `~/.savant/cache`. No change needed. Ensure the new workflow doesn't accidentally route integration artifacts to `~/.m2`. | + +### 6.2 Compatibility Risks + +| Risk | Description | Mitigation | +|------|-------------|------------| +| **Older Savant versions** | Projects using older savant-core with the new savant-dependency-management. | The new library should be backwards compatible. Old `WorkflowDelegate.standard()` can create the new workflow structure. | +| **Custom workflows** | Projects with custom fetch/publish workflows defined in build files. | Support the existing DSL. Custom workflows continue to work; only the `standard()` shortcut changes. | +| **Third-party tools** | Tools that read `.savant/cache` directly. | Document the change. The IDEA plugin and any other tooling that reads from `.savant/cache` for JARs needs updating. | + +--- + +## 7. Phased Implementation Plan + +### Phase 1: Refactor Workflow Internals (savant-dependency-management) + +**Goal**: Introduce the concept of type-specific workflows without changing external behavior. + +**Changes**: + +1. **Create `AmdCacheProcess`**: A new `Process` implementation that only handles AMD files. It extends `CacheProcess` but filters to only `.amd` and `.amd.md5` items. + +2. **Refactor `Workflow` class**: Add separate workflow chains for AMD vs artifact resolution. The constructor accepts separate fetch/publish workflows for each type. Maintain backward-compatible constructor that creates the old behavior. + +3. **Update `Workflow.fetchMetaData()`**: Route AMD fetches through the AMD workflow chain. + +4. **Update `Workflow.fetchArtifact()`**: Route JAR fetches through the artifact workflow chain. + +5. **Update `Workflow.fetchSource()`**: Route source fetches through the artifact workflow chain. + +6. **Update `Workflow.loadPOM()`**: Route POM fetches through the artifact workflow chain. + +**Tests**: All existing tests must continue to pass with no behavioral change. + +### Phase 2: Implement New Cache Strategy (savant-dependency-management) + +**Goal**: Implement the new cache routing so AMDs go to `.savant/cache` and everything else goes to `~/.m2`. + +**Changes**: + +1. **Create new `Workflow` factory method**: `Workflow.standard(Output output)` that creates the new workflow with: + - AMD fetch: `CacheProcess(.savant/cache)` then generate from POM + - AMD publish: `CacheProcess(.savant/cache)` + - Artifact fetch: `MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2)` then `MavenProcess(maven central)` + - Artifact publish: `MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2)` + +2. **Handle non-semantic version JAR resolution**: When `fetchArtifact()` falls back to non-semantic version, it should look in `~/.m2/repository` using the Maven version path rather than re-publishing to `.savant/cache`. + +3. **Update negative caching**: Route negative markers to the appropriate cache (AMD negatives to `.savant/cache`, source negatives to `~/.m2`). + +4. **Handle source JAR republishing**: Currently, when a Maven-style source JAR (`-sources.jar`) is found, it's republished as a Savant-style source (`-src.jar`). Under the new strategy, consider whether to maintain this renaming in `~/.m2` or handle it as a name resolution at build time. + +**Tests**: New tests verifying the separation of concerns. Existing tests refactored to validate new behavior. + +### Phase 3: Update Build File DSL (savant-core) + +**Goal**: Update the standard workflow and DSL in savant-core to use the new cache strategy. + +**Changes**: + +1. **Update `WorkflowDelegate.standard()`**: Use the new workflow factory. + +2. **Update `ProcessDelegate`**: If the DSL needs new methods for configuring AMD-specific vs artifact-specific processes, add them. + +3. **Maintain backward compatibility**: Custom `fetch {}` and `publish {}` blocks should continue to work for projects that override the standard workflow. + +**Tests**: Build file parsing tests in savant-core. + +### Phase 4: Update Dependency Plugin (dependency-plugin) + +**Goal**: Ensure the dependency plugin works correctly with the new workflow. + +**Changes**: + +1. **Update `integrate()`**: Ensure integration builds still publish to `~/.savant/cache`. + +2. **Update classpath construction**: Classpath paths now point to `~/.m2/repository` instead of `.savant/cache`. Verify the `Classpath` object returns correct paths. + +3. **Update `copy()`**: The copy target should still work (copying from `~/.m2` to the target directory). + +**Tests**: End-to-end tests with the dependency plugin. + +### Phase 5: Migration and Cleanup + +**Goal**: Help existing users migrate. + +**Changes**: + +1. **Add migration documentation**: Guide for deleting old `.savant/cache` contents. + +2. **Version bump**: Release new versions of all three libraries with coordinated version numbers. + +3. **Update savantbuild.org docs**: Reflect the new cache strategy. + +--- + +## 8.

Phased Implementation Plan -### Phase 1: Refactor Workflow Internals (savant-dependency-management) +### Phase 1: Refactor `Workflow.fetchMetaData()` to In-Memory (savant-dependency-management) -**Goal**: Introduce the concept of type-specific workflows without changing external behavior. +**Goal**: Generate AMDs in-memory from POMs instead of reading/writing AMD files to disk. **Changes**: -1. **Create `AmdCacheProcess`**: A new `Process` implementation that only handles AMD files. It extends `CacheProcess` but filters to only `.amd` and `.amd.md5` items. +1. **Add in-memory AMD cache to `Workflow`**: A `Map amdCache` field that persists for the lifetime of the `Workflow` instance. -2. **Refactor `Workflow` class**: Add separate workflow chains for AMD vs artifact resolution. The constructor accepts separate fetch/publish workflows for each type. Maintain backward-compatible constructor that creates the old behavior. +2. **Rewrite `Workflow.fetchMetaData()`**: Check in-memory cache first. On miss, load POM (from `~/.m2` via `fetchWorkflow` or network), translate POM to AMD with current mappings, cache in memory, return. -3. **Update `Workflow.fetchMetaData()`**: Route AMD fetches through the AMD workflow chain. +3. **Remove AMD disk write**: Stop calling `publishWorkflow.publish()` for AMD items and their MD5s in `fetchMetaData()`. -4. **Update `Workflow.fetchArtifact()`**: Route JAR fetches through the artifact workflow chain. +4. **Remove AMD disk read**: Stop calling `fetchWorkflow.fetchItem()` for AMD items. The in-memory cache replaces this. -5. **Update `Workflow.fetchSource()`**: Route source fetches through the artifact workflow chain. +**Tests**: All existing tests must be updated to validate the new in-memory behavior. See Test Plan (Section 8). -6. **Update `Workflow.loadPOM()`**: Route POM fetches through the artifact workflow chain. +### Phase 2: Simplify `fetchArtifact()` and `fetchSource()` (savant-dependency-management) -**Tests**: All existing tests must continue to pass with no behavioral change. +**Goal**: Stop republishing JARs/sources to `.savant/cache`. Return paths from `~/.m2` directly. -### Phase 2: Implement New Cache Strategy (savant-dependency-management) +**Changes**: -**Goal**: Implement the new cache routing so AMDs go to `.savant/cache` and everything else goes to `~/.m2`. +1. **`fetchArtifact()`**: When a non-semantic version JAR is found in `~/.m2`, return its path directly instead of republishing under the semantic version name. The semantic-to-non-semantic mapping is already tracked on the `Artifact` object. -**Changes**: +2. **`fetchSource()`**: When a Maven-style `-sources.jar` is found, return its path directly instead of republishing as `-src.jar`. Consumers that need the path just use whatever is returned. -1. **Create new `Workflow` factory method**: `Workflow.standard(Output output)` that creates the new workflow with: - - AMD fetch: `CacheProcess(.savant/cache)` then generate from POM - - AMD publish: `CacheProcess(.savant/cache)` - - Artifact fetch: `MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2)` then `MavenProcess(maven central)` - - Artifact publish: `MavenCacheProcess(~/.m2)` +3. **Negative caching for sources**: Continue writing `.neg` markers, but to `~/.m2/repository` instead of `.savant/cache`. -2. **Handle non-semantic version JAR resolution**: When `fetchArtifact()` falls back to non-semantic version, it should look in `~/.m2/repository` using the Maven version path rather than re-publishing to `.savant/cache`. +**Tests**: New tests validating paths point to `~/.m2`. Source tests updated for new naming behavior. -3. **Update negative caching**: Route negative markers to the appropriate cache (AMD negatives to `.savant/cache`, source negatives to `~/.m2`). +### Phase 3: Update `WorkflowDelegate.standard()` (savant-core) -4. **Handle source JAR republishing**: Currently, when a Maven-style source JAR (`-sources.jar`) is found, it's republished as a Savant-style source (`-src.jar`). Under the new strategy, consider whether to maintain this renaming in `~/.m2` or handle it as a name resolution at build time. +**Goal**: Update the standard workflow to remove `CacheProcess` from fetch and publish. -**Tests**: New tests verifying the separation of concerns. Existing tests refactored to validate new behavior. +**Changes**: -### Phase 3: Update Build File DSL (savant-core) +1. **Update `WorkflowDelegate.standard()`**: Remove `CacheProcess` from both fetch and publish chains. Only use `MavenCacheProcess`, `URLProcess`, and `MavenProcess`. -**Goal**: Update the standard workflow and DSL in savant-core to use the new cache strategy. +2. **Keep DSL backward-compatible**: `fetch { cache() }` and `publish { cache() }` continue to work for projects with custom workflows. -**Changes**: +**Tests**: Update `GroovyBuildFileParserTest` to verify the new standard workflow configuration. -1. **Update `WorkflowDelegate.standard()`**: Use the new workflow factory. +### Phase 4: Mapping Strategy Audit (savant-dependency-management) -2. **Update `ProcessDelegate`**: If the DSL needs new methods for configuring AMD-specific vs artifact-specific processes, add them. +**Goal**: Review the current POM-to-AMD mapping strategy for bugs, performance issues, and gaps that could prevent reliable dynamic mapping of Maven artifacts. -3. **Maintain backward compatibility**: Custom `fetch {}` and `publish {}` blocks should continue to work for projects that override the standard workflow. +**Investigation Areas**: -**Tests**: Build file parsing tests in savant-core. +1. **Version mapping correctness**: Are there edge cases where `MavenTools.toSavantDependencies(pom, mappings)` produces incorrect results? What happens with version ranges, SNAPSHOT versions, classifiers? -### Phase 4: Update Dependency Plugin (dependency-plugin) +2. **POM parsing performance**: Profile the POM parsing path (`MavenTools.parsePOM()`, parent/import resolution). Identify any hotspots or redundant work. -**Goal**: Ensure the dependency plugin works correctly with the new workflow. +3. **Parent POM resolution depth**: Some Maven artifacts have deeply nested parent POM hierarchies. Is there a risk of excessive network calls or stack depth? -**Changes**: +4. **BOM import handling**: Test with complex BOM imports (e.g., Spring Boot, AWS SDK). Are all dependencies correctly resolved? -1. **Update `integrate()`**: Ensure integration builds still publish to `~/.savant/cache`. +5. **Error handling**: When a POM is malformed or a parent POM is missing, are the error messages helpful? Are there silent failures? -2. **Update classpath construction**: Classpath paths now point to `~/.m2/repository` instead of `.savant/cache`. Verify the `Classpath` object returns correct paths. +6. **Range mapping coverage**: The `rangeMappings` feature was recently added. Verify it handles all edge cases. -3. **Update `copy()`**: The copy target should still work (copying from `~/.m2` to the target directory). +**Deliverable**: A list of identified issues with severity and recommended fixes. These can be addressed as part of this work or tracked separately. -**Tests**: End-to-end tests with the dependency plugin. +### Phase 5: Performance Benchmarking -### Phase 5: Migration and Cleanup +**Goal**: Quantify the actual performance cost of in-memory AMD generation vs disk-cached AMDs. + +**Approach**: + +1. Create a test project with 50, 100, and 200 dependencies (mix of simple and complex POM hierarchies). +2. Measure time for `buildGraph()` with in-memory AMD generation. +3. Compare to baseline (current disk-cached approach). +4. If delta > 1 second for 200 deps, evaluate adding opt-in disk caching as Alternative E. +5. Measure memory usage for in-memory AMD cache. + +### Phase 6: Migration and Cleanup **Goal**: Help existing users migrate. **Changes**: -1. **Add migration documentation**: Guide for deleting old `.savant/cache` contents. +1. **Version bump**: Release new versions of `savant-dependency-management` and `savant-core` with coordinated version numbers. -2. **Version bump**: Release new versions of all three libraries with coordinated version numbers. +2. **Migration guide**: Document that `.savant/cache` can be safely deleted after upgrading. -3. **Update savantbuild.org docs**: Reflect the new cache strategy. +3. **Update build files**: Projects using `workflow { standard() }` get the new behavior automatically. Projects with custom `fetch { cache() }` workflows continue to work unchanged. --- ## 8.

They should be stored in `~/.m2/repository` as well. **Recommendation**: The URLProcess already writes to the publish workflow, which now targets `~/.m2`. This should work without special handling. -4. **Should the IDEA plugin be updated?** If there's a Savant IDEA plugin that reads from `.savant/cache` for JARs, it needs to be updated to read from `~/.m2`. **Recommendation**: Yes, in a coordinated release. +4. ~~**Should the IDEA plugin be updated?**~~ No. After code review, the IDEA plugin consumes the resolved artifact graph and doesn't read `.savant/cache` directly. It will transparently receive paths pointing to `~/.m2`. + +5. **Should AMD files include a schema version?** To handle future format changes gracefully. **Recommendation**: Deferred. With in-memory AMD generation, there is no persisted AMD format to version (except for integration and release publishes). + +6. **Is `maven-bridge` still needed?** If Savant dynamically maps Maven artifacts via POM-to-AMD on every build, the manual bridge tool may be unnecessary. **Recommendation**: Evaluate after the new strategy is working. Likely to be deprecated. + +7. **Should we add in-memory POM caching?** Parent POMs and BOM POMs are often shared across sibling dependencies.

These AMDs are **never persisted to disk** because they are project-specific (different projects may map the same Maven artifact differently). -4. **JARs are resolved from `~/.m2` on every build**: Rather than caching JARs locally, Savant resolves the path to each JAR in `~/.m2/repository` at build time.

This map lives only for the duration of the build. 5. **Simplicity over optimization**: The design prioritizes simplicity and compatibility with the Maven ecosystem over micro-optimizations for cold-start performance. -6. **No local project cache (`.savant/cache`) for non-integration builds**: The `.savant/cache` directory is eliminated entirely for regular builds. Integration builds continue to use `~/.savant/cache/` (global). +6. **No local project cache (`.savant/cache`)**: The per-project `.savant/cache` directory is eliminated entirely.
