I'm in the same situation too. Can you use the following example to explain what the zip plugin does?

Say, I have developed an SCA composite application: distributed calculator. The application is packaged as two jars:
* The calculator
* The operations

Is the zip plugin there to zip two jars into a zip file as an SCA contribution? What would the configuration for the plugin look like? Knowing the input and output for the plugin will give me enough information to test and vote.

Thanks,
Raymond

Ant,

I'd prefer to see a bit more user documentation first.

I'm unclear as to what exactly it does and how to run it properly.
That's why I'm not voting for it. (note that I have not voted against
it either...)

Yours, Mike.

You could see a complete pom.xml by running the archetype as described in
the previous email on this thread, or, in svn in the archetype module
there's the resource it uses to create the pom.xm at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/java/sca/archetypes/contribution-zip/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/pom.xml

Please review and vote on releasing the alpha1 release of the Tuscany
Zip plugin module.

The zip plugin enables using a packaging of zip in a Maven project
pom.xml to create a zip format SCA contribution.

The tag for the release is:


https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/maven-plugins/tags/maven-zip-plugin-alpha1//

the Maven staging repository is:
http://people.apache.org/~antelder/tuscany/maven-zip-plugin-alpha1-RC1/

Thanks in advance for the votes,

Ant,

Is there any user documentation on how to use this?  I don't mean
developer
documentation of how to build it.


Yours, Mike.

Not so much yet, its an alpha1 release ;) There's a little at the top of
the README:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/maven-plugins/tags/maven-zip-plugin-alpha1//README

and there's an archetype that will create an example using it, thats not been released yet but if you've done a full 2.x build you'll have it locally
so in an empty folder run:

mvn archetype:generate

enter the option for "tuscany-contribution-zip" which is 5 for me, then
enter "somegroup" and "sometest", hit enter 3 times to take the next
defaults. That will create a folder named sometest containing a project that creates a helloworld sca zip contribution, you can run that by changing into
the sometest folder and entering "mvn tuscany:run" and you should see
tuscany start up and output "hello world"

Let me know is that does/doesn't work no one other than me has ever tried
it as far as i know.
