I've been developing some Maven plugins in the Sandbox, and I now propose to move them to Commons proper.
commons-javadocfix-plugin ==================== Runs the Oracle JavadocFixTool as a Maven plugin or a Java command-line application. The tool was released by Oracle recently in order to fix up Javadoc files that have some javascript which is vulnerable to attack. The original Oracle tool has some bugs (e.g. did not delete temporary saved copy of original file on Windows) which have been fixed. Ideally the Maven aspect would be fixed by an update to the Maven Javadoc plugin, but that might take a while to implement. I've raised http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-370 In the meantime it might be necessary to use it to implement the fuctionality ourselves. commons-digest-plugin ================= This is a simple plugin that generates MD5 and SHA1 hashes for files in a directory. This is intended for use in simplifying the deployment of tarballs (source and binary packages). commons-gpg-plugin =============== Like the Digest plugin, but creates sigs for files in a directory. The Maven version of the plugin cannot sign arbitrary files, but I've raised an enancement request to add this functionality, so hopefully the Commons plugin won't be needed for too long. commons-staging-plugin ================== This handles the rest of the functions needed to deploy tarballs separately from Nexus. The main functions are upload of tarballs to the dist/dev directory and later release by moving the tarballs from dist/dev to dist/release I'm not entirely happy with the name "Staging", as it is only part of the function. The name can be changed if necessary. I intend to move the plugins tomorrow sometime unless there are any objections. The next stage will be to get some people to test them to see if they need to be improved, and then hopefully release them so they can start being used. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
