You can now do any work you like in the Maven Sandbox here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/plugins/

If you copy over from trunk and do all the work there applying patches, testing, then once you think it's ready it's very easy for me to merge to the trunk of the RAR plugin and do the release. We setup the sandbox for just this sort of collaboration. If you do this a few times I'm certain you'll be invited to the plugin team.

The maven-rar-plugin also need to get released. 2.1 has a nasty bug that causes it to include .svn junk. Fixed in 2.2-SNAPSHOT


Do you want to release it?


I was serious, not being sarcastic. I can help you release it but I think we're booked up for next week otherwise.

Jason,

Ok, I spent a little time rounding up some people to take on releases
and we have the following:

maven-dependency-plugin: John Tolentino
maven-surefire-plugin: Kenney
maven-pmd-plugin: Joakim
maven-checkstyle-plugin: Joakim
maven-release-plugin: Jason

Wow. Excellent. I think someone mentioned a bug in the war plugin that
needs to be fixed as well.   :-)

One thing to keep in mind... After Nov 1, 2006, all releases MUST have the proper Apache license/notice files in the META-INF dir (see [1]) which none of the above plugins currently do. Thus, all of the above folks will need to coordinate how they want that done. Maybe add the apache license injection plugin thing we discussed earlier added to the
above list.   Either that, or get them released by Tuesday  :-).

Thanks a lot for taking all this on.
Dan

And seeing as I found people for those you are going to do the maven-
assembly-plugin :-)

We'll all start working next week and release them as soon as we can.

Jason.

1) maven-dependency-plugin - this one actually has docs on
maven.apache.org
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/).
However, it
doesn't actually exist.   It's NEVER been released.   The only
released
version available is the older "mojo" versions that don't have all the new goals documented at apache.org. Anyway, having a plugin
listed at
apache.org that doesn't actually exist is probably not a good thing.

2) surefire - the 2.2 version is pretty much un-usable in a reactor
build
with reporting turned on as all the tests are "cumulative" and you get results from previous modules in the current module. We've had to force the usage of 2.1.3. Also, JUnit 4 would be nice. :-)
(one
project I'm involved in has almost abandoned the ant -> maven
transition
due to lack of JUnit 4 support)

3) PMD - pmd 3.8 was released a few weeks ago.   Updating the
plugin just
to use 3.8 would be nice as it fixes several problems with JDK 1.5
code.
(Requires 3.8 being added to central)

4) Assembly - hasn't been released since May. The SNAPSHOTS have
some fixes that were required by tuscany.  Not sure the details.
However, they cannot use the release plugin due to the snapshot
dependency. (not
that they could use the release plugin anyway due to previously
documented issues with the release plugin and the apache processes)

I'm sure other people have more plugins they'd like to see
released.   I
know a bunch of the maven folks are hard at work on things like
Archiva,
Maven 2.1, rsync improvements, etc...  However, IMO, the current
plugins
aren't receiving the love and attention they need and the community
is suffering for it.

Maybe I should find some time to help out....  :-(
