Brett,
So this is resource based, instead of artifact based? If so, I think
it makes sense as an addition to the wagon project.
That's correct and I agree that it would make a good addition to
Wagon.
How does this differ from the remote-resources plugin? Could it be
combined with that?
Remote resources plugin simply bundles resources together as a
different
artifact to allow other builds to depend on the same set of resources.
It's grabs the transitive set of projects and takes the organization
name out. Adding something like:
handleProject( MavenProject ) { do whatever you like; }
To generalize it would be nice instead of duplicating the logic in
another plugin.
The licenses plugin on the other hand uses the license information
specified in the pom to find, list, download and deploy licenses.
The deploy goal is something that needs a little more thought. At the
moment it allows you to download licenses found in a POM and deploy
them
as a classified "license" artifact to a specified repository for
archiving.
So I would say they are different enough not to warrant merging.
I would suggest as a starting point you can put them in the Maven
sandbox (or branch the remote resources plugin there and
incorporate),
if there is support for it here, since all Apache committers have
access there.
Awesome, Ill prepare and put both of these plugins into sandbox now.
Ah, hold on there. 1) Since when did accepting new bodies of code be
decided between two people. For one I disagree it's appropriate to
even bring them here, and 2) new bodies of code need to go through the
incubator which is why I suggested Mojo which gives the default search
behavior (which is a good thing) and generally less cumbersome.
Thanks
James
