Talk Proposal: srcdeps: Don't let dependencies dictate your life!

[Peter Palaga]

Hi *, my submission:

= srcdeps: Don't let dependencies dictate your life!

== Abstract

Your dependency does not merge or release your fix fast enough? Or you 
want a reliable continuous integration with your framework/platform? 
Then stop waiting for releases and start using source dependencies with 
Maven & Gradle!

srcdeps brings the concept of source dependencies as known in Ruby’s 
blunder or Scala’s sbt to the field of Java and its build tools. With 
srcdeps, a Maven or a Gradle project can define its dependencies in 
terms of specific source commits that are built by srcdeps "on the fly" 
when they are requested.

We will explain how this can save time in testing and integration or how 
it allows to fix third-party code. In a short live demo, we will show 
how to switch from a released dependency to a source dependency in a 
Maven project.
