Use Ahab libs from Nexus

[hinchliff]

When I checkout the project, and try to build, I get the following maven error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project RequestManager: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.renci:RequestManager:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: orca.ahab:libtransport:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT, orca.ahab:libndl:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact orca.ahab:libtransport:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT in geni-orca-snapshot (http://ci-dev.renci.org/nexus/content/repositories/geni-orca-snapshot)

Those old ahab artifacts are no longer available.

Our first step should be to get the project to build using the new Ahab release artifacts.

@anriban I created a new branch for this issue, 1_ahab_release, but it does not currently compile.

I'm not sure if the Ahab library changed? But I get the error "no suitable method found"

[ERROR] /home/hincha/git/Mobius/src/main/java/org/renci/requestmanager/ndl/AhabManager.java:[372,54] no suitable method found for create(org.renci.ahab.libndl.Slice,java.lang.String)

Could you take a look at this?

Possibly related, is the orca.ndllib library now part of Ahab, and not Orca? There may be some more code re-work required for those library functions too.

@anriban Thanks for fixing the issue with PriorityNetwork. I see that the code now compiles.

I checked with @paul-ruth, and he confirmed that orca.ndllib is the old predecessor of Ahab, and that we should probably update the code to fully use Ahab and not any of the orca.ndllib libraries.

Do you want to tackle that too, before we close this ticket?

[anriban]

@hinchliff Yes, that is a good idea to migrate some of the old code to use ahab instead of orca.ndllib. I will be working on it. I will update this issue when I am done with that.
