I would need some convincing that introducing logical dependency on a top-level POM is a good thing. Could be this is a good idea - I just dont see it yet. , or to make a > list of the changes needed. > We should decide the version question "soon." Playing around a little with both 1 and 2 to see what would be involved in getting something to work is probably a good idea. In terms of "what goes in" we have a good start on the Wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/ReleaseShoppingList. One way to start thinking about the pros and cons of 1 vs 2 is to look at the release and site generation requirements (we might want to pull the second out into a separate Wiki page) and think through how "big" the new plugin(s) would have to be in each case and how much can be accomplished by patching exisiting plugins. We should try to keep the custom code base as small and simple as possible. > > Where will the code for the plugin live? > > +1 for commons/proper/trunk/commons-plugin > Or .../commons-build/commons-plugin Phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
