Pants

so the followup question is: why would i want to use one or the other, from a best practices perspective

why would i not always want deployjar=True

if you are rsync'ing or doing something similar (distributing to a hadoop cluster), the broken out jars are much easier to transfer.

they're also easier/faster to create... in most cases a non-fatjar is a series of symlinks to already-existing jars

and finally, fatjars require messing with classpath filename conflicts, while independent jars do not (ie, multiple jars containing META-INF/SERVICES directives can collide)

perfect, that makes sense. thanks so much

I plan to merge <https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/4320/> in if there’s no objections since everyone’s shard 6 keeps timing out

But we still need to get to the bottom of why this is happening

<@U0AALHEDR> please go for it, hopefully it fixes the problem

(and when everyone lands their changes, i'd appreciate pings. thanks!)

Something happened to my github PR and it is no longer associated with travis.  I guess I'm going to have to close it and open a new one

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/3967>

<@U06A03HV1> I landed one of my changes.  As you pointed out before, after the java 7 default change lands, I will still need to republish jars and land a change that bumps the version number for the tools. Judging from the speed of travis, I don't think it will be today.

<@U053H6LQS> : if you leave it hanging and it goes green, i'm happy to land and then do the publish and next step

Its <https://travis-ci.org/pantsbuild/pants/builds/168410176>

(I rebased so it has the extra shard when running in travis)

if you need to leave before it finishes, just make sure the rb has the latest code/link on it, and i'll try to land

I will review the scalafmt before leaving today <@U06A03HV1>

Yeah, it will need to land before the stable, so I will be sure to get to it

<@U053H6LQS> : some actual failures there... sorry!

Pushed another change but there are 4 other PRs queued up ahead, if it goes green I'll merge in the morning.

Pushed that to master, but when I went to publish, it got stuck:
<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/3985>

Looks like I'll be unable to get past this without some kind of code change...
