This is not a vote. +1's here are just "I've read and think it's all
good", but generally I'm just looking for feedback on specific plugins
and decision points before taking this any further forward.
Some of the plugins that wound up in mojo seem better suited to the main
Apache project due to a) originally coming from there b) having the core
libraries located there c) being essential to the day to day use of the
project.
These are the ones I'm thinking of:
- jxr report (relates to jxr)
- surefire report (relates to surefire)
- changes/jira/announcement report (relates to issue stuff in sandbox)
- changelog report (relates to scm)
- dependency-maven-plugin (sounds generally handy in eliminating a lot
of small antrunning).
The other ones I'm tossing up:
- taglist (generally useful report, originally came from m1)
I put out a call for opinions and while the relevant mojo people were in
favour, some of the Maven developers were either on the fence or against
it. However, I didn't really receive an answer to my responses to those
concerns.
As a community we need to decide where we are going to develop
individual plugins. As I understand it, mojo.codehaus.org was
established to:
- develop things that can't be entirely under the ASL.
- avoid developing plugins that rotted and tied due to lack of community
in m1
- give a place for individual plugin developers to start out but still
operate in the same way as the Maven community.
It's always been my thought that plugins at maven.apache.org should be
those used by 80% of Maven users or essential to its operation, and
those that relate to the Maven subprojects themselves. Also, plugins in
like groups should be kept together.
So, time to bring it here and get everyone's feedback again. If you
already had objections, please voice them again if they are still a concern.
What do others think? Note that this would imply bringing in a couple of
new committers, but they are people that have been generally helpful.
Cheers,
Brett
