-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This is a proposal for packaging Axis2 distros, which may be effective from the next release
Axis2-version.jar will contain the code from * common * xml * core * adb * wsdl So whenever axis2-version.jar is mentioned, that means the above. The motivation for including adb is that its the default and built-in data binding for Axis2. The selection was to make sure this contains the minimal things that one needs to embed Axis2 in their own apps (Synapse for example). Its like the Axis2 runtime. We will be releasing following artifacts with each and every release. 1. Axis2 Minimal Release - Both bin and src The bin distro will contain - lib - axis2-version.jar - 3rd party distributable jars - readme.txt and releasenotes.html 2. Axis2 Standard Release - Both bin and src 1.all the content of the minimal distribution 2. Content of maven modules - codegen,webapp (please see notes below), DOOM 3. Samples (both source and aar/mar files) 4. addressing mar (module archive) Please note that the only module we gonna ship with Axis2 is addressing, as its tighlty bound to Axis2. All the other modules like security will be downloadable via the module release page (see below #6) 3. War Distribution * all the content of the minimal distribution * Admin web app 4. Docs distribution * all the docs * java docs 5. Plugins * IDEA and Eclipse plugins 6. Module Release * We will have a modules release page containing following information. || Module name || version || compatible Axis version || comments || Notes : * Documents itself will be released separately and these docs will be available in Axis2 site. The site will contain all the docs related to all the releases (see apache httpd site. Samething was done there) * Make webapps into a seperate maven module (to include the admin web apps). This module will be included in the standard distribution as well. Here is my +1 for the above proposal. - -- Chinthaka -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFDuN8QjON2uBzUhh8RAvkJAJ9ARTqgjUIM9dJqaSjnbDHC8QIxmgCeJ1Ta apXeVqCXmUd113iRjMveuf8= =oZMY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
