A separate sub project is no problem anyways, so using Maven2 to build the plugin should be no problem. > At least for myself, I don't like commenting out stuff so I make it automatic > when I really hit the issue (for the embedded ones I didn't have any problems > yet) For embedded dbs that may be possible (so that the user only has to add the jdbc driver to the lib directory), but for the not-embedded the user has to adapt the settings. But this way is IMO the simplest one because the user only has to change one file and supply one jar (for the driver). > Hope we can reuse the oracle9 driver..

I think it is the oracle10 driver, but it might work. Actually I don't think that it differs in anything that DdlUtils uses. > One last issue comes to mind : It's going to be hard to cut a release with > just you having a binding vote and even when my vote would be legally binding > (by being on the PMC), we are still 1 binding vote short... > Don't actually know if my vote is binding, just because I am a Jakart PMC > member / Gump PMC member ? > I'll hassle Cliff on legal with this :) The main question is: is it ok if enough PMC members vote yes even if they are not (active) committers of the project (but assuming that they actually checked the project). A lot of the DB comitters members have commit rights on DdlUtils, and some of them PMC members. Perhaps we can interest some other PMC members to take a slightly more active role in DdlUtils, e.g. actively using it and perhaps running the tests and checking the docs ? Tom
