Hi! I advising a podling on producing a binary release that includes a Java web app (think war file). I wanted to give them a taste of what TLPs do so I went to the ones that I knew were generating war files: Oozie and Ranger. You know the stuff I'm familiar with in Hadoop ecosystem.
What he discovered may shock you! No, but seriously. Here's what these projects publish on Maven central: https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/oozie/oozie-webapp/4.3.0/oozie-webapp-4.3.0.war https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/ranger/security-admin-web/0.7.0/security-admin-web-0.7.0.war Each of these WAR files: 1. bundles all sorts of dependancies -- not just the bits coming from the project itself 2. Neither provides a meanigful LICENSE nor NOTICE files. The ones under ./WEB-INF/classes/META-INF are stock ones and really don't address the binary dependencies bundling Have we somehow relaxed the requirements for binary artifacts? I hope not -- and if not -- what are the good examples of web app projects doing it right? Thanks, Roman. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
