I'm -1 on it as it stands, as I have a few problems with the proposed POM:
Ok, you have just convinced me that it is better to make the next release of commons-fileupload without waiting for the availability of the commons-parent POM. :-( I haven't got any objections against you arguments, but it's nasty asking several times whether "we are ready" and now getting blocking votes again.
- remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the continuum email address and make it commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
Done.
- why do we need a dummy repository?
The comment says it: It should prevent accidental deploys to the Apache repositories, which are configured in the parent POM (the Apache root POM). The idea is that I have to use the -Prc or -Prelease command line switches for deploying. It wasn't my idea, but I like it.
- what value does the scm section provide to inheriters?
None, you are right. I have removed it. But the same holds true for the issueManagement section. Removed as well.
- When building distributions the notice.txt is placed in the top level of the generated archive - is it possible to get this in there somehow too?
You are referring to the distribution archives, not to the jar files, are you? They are generated by the assembly plugin and I am unaware of any possibility to configure that from a parent POM.
- Is it possible to get the m2 bug fixed which forces us to use a whole slew of ant xml to copy over various resources? Any hope of getting these answered?
1.) It isn't clear that the point is even considered a bug. Copying the whole "source directory" (which is the base directory) may be considered a feature by some. 2.) We need to get the fix into the source plugins SVN version. From my experience, that can easily take some months. 3.) We need to have a released version of the source plugin containing the fix. That will easily take some months more. In other words, I don't believe it's reasonable. Besides, I can't see what problems you have with the current solution. It does exactly what it's supposed to: Makes sure that the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files are part of the generated jar files.
