If you can find Simon and get him to grant an MIT or an unaltered BSD 3 clause license that would be awesome. I think the entire world was less savvy about licensing back in 2004, and his alterations probably didn't seem like a big deal, but now anything not exactly matching a known license is flagged as unknown, and presents a barrier potentially involving a lawyer at many companies that employ scanning software. The javadoc linked from your site ( https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/instrument/package-summary.html) is interesting. I'll have to look through that.
I've been working on the notion of re-launching a sub-process to allow the addition of arbitrary args. Of related concern are --add-opens which seem to be working as Jar Manifest "Add-Opens" attributes, but I've been entirely unable to hunt down any spec that mentions that as an option in Jar Manifests Add-Exports I did find. It's particularly frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a single specification/reference for jar files that actually documents what Manifest attributes are significant to JVM's There are a few here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/specs/jar/jar.html (and a similar page if you google jar specification). The only way I found out about Add-Exports was because it showed up on a mailing-list discussion when I was googling... And now I find out about agent related attributes only through this mailing list and the link on your github site... *sigh* -Gus Founder, Chief Architect, Needham Software LLC Commiter & PMC member Apache Solr & Apache Lucene 508-333-5312 https://www.needhamsoftware.com On Mon, May 6, 2024 at 4:17 AM Alexander Kriegisch <alexan...@kriegisch.name> wrote: > Hi Patrick. > > I cannot comment on whether this issue was moved forward or not, only on > this, simply to counter-balance it: > > > WRT maven plugins.
