Hi,

Just checking to see if alpha-3 release is any closer.

Hehe. yes it is somewhat closer. The entire development team of this plugin has been working quite hard on other projects latly, so we have not had the time getting rid of the one blocker we have on the windows platform. Also we need to update the documentation.
But we are expecting a release very soon


I've been using the snapshot recently, and it seems to be stable for my
uses.

Hi,

I've just started using the appassembler-maven-plugin and really
appreciate its capabilities.  Thanks to all who have contributed.

I have some applications that expect file/directory paths as cmdline
arguments.  Relative paths fail with the scripts generated by
appassembler-maven-plugin v1.0-alpha-2, because the current
    directory is
changed to the BASEDIR - i.e. the parent of the location of the
    script -
before invoking the JVM.

Looking at the current trunk versions of the
appassembler-maven-plugin/resources/.../script/*BinTemplate files, and
according to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-565 , this has
    been fixed.

Is there a release schedule for appassembler-maven-plugin? (I assume
not, as these things tend to go...)

Here's my (totally, like, non-binding) +1 for releasing v1.0- alpha-3.

We've been meaning to do the alpha-3 release for a while before we start working on the new stuff that we want to put in it. Currently and for the next two weeks I will be too busy at work to check it and publish a release but if some other comitter is using the plugin, feel free to test it (there is a serious need for unit tests) and put it out for a
    vote. IIRC there is only one show stopper right now: MOJO-806.

I can see from JIRA and fisheye that there are other new capabilities being baked in, and I'd be cool with waiting until these stabilize, of
course.  Is there anything I can do to help?

Implement them :) The problem right now is that we haven't written down our ideas so it can be kinda hard to do it the way we want to do it.

Separate question: why are the script templates located under "daemon" in the resources/ directory? Although they could be used that way, I
suppose, there is nothing about the generated scripts that
    requires that
they be run as daemons (i.e., processes that run in the background and
can live beyond their parent process's lifespan).

I can't remember the specific reason, but probably related to the fact that it did start as a daemon thing once upon the time. I'll take a look
    the next time I'm working on it.
