this project consists of two modules. one is converting a rubygems repository into maven repository. this happens either via registered the protocol handler in JVM or by using a special MavenGemURLConnection which turns a rubygems repository on the fly to maven repository.

the second module uses this to add a transport extension to maven allowing to use gems from a rubygems repository as gem artifacts inside a POM. see also http://maven.apache.org/wagon/.

As the wagon code was more or less stolen from EPL licensed code https://github.com/apache/maven-wagon/blob/master/wagon-providers/wagon-http-lightweight/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/wagon/providers/http/LightweightHttpWagon.java this code is under the same license: EPL

Java 1.8 must be used to run integration tests at the moment.

Deploy snapshots when the version ends with "-SNAPSHOT" using mvn deploy.

Releasing requires the version to not end with "-SNAPSHOT" and you should specify the "-Prelease" profile to sign the artifacts.

mvn deploy -Prelease
