Is grefine still alive?

[marco-brandizi]

Hi all,

• I'd like to propose to use GRefine for a project, but it's not clear at which state GRefine is.
• Is it still maintained?
• Are there known issues with the last Open Refine Releases (I've tried it and it seems to work)?
• Does the maven branch work with Maven? The POM seems to define just project dependencies, I don't see anything that builds the distribution zip. I've tried to rebuild it because on GH I see a few updated after the last release.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't got any time recently to do any maintinance. I want to make sure though that it keeps working with latest Open Refine release. So far, I haven't been particularly good at this.

I will test it with the latest version of Open Refine and write an update here.

Regarding packaging, there is no maven task for that... I know very little about maven...
I usually prpeare the ZIP manually by making sure the build path is set to module/MOD-INF/classes and then copying and zipping everything that is under module.

Thanks @fadmaa for your reply. I know Maven pretty well, If you can list me the grefine dependencies (lib names and versions currently being used), I can try to mavenize it (I need the direct ones, then Maven should be able to walk the transitive closure automatically).

sounds great @marco-brandizi ! I will upgrade the libraries used and test with latest version of Open Refine and thn provide you a list. Just allow me a couple of days to get this done
