My preference here is also to have them generated. We want the metadata in the project descriptor to be valid anyway, and maintaining the templates for LICENSE and NOTICE would be handled by maintainers of the Apache resources. We don't have any dependencies requiring a notice, and if we do this should be covered with append-resources. The files wouldn't be in SVN but will be in the distributed archives. Having this done automatically rather than by configuring each archiver will be easier to keep straight. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
