Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MINSTALL-133:
------------------------------------------------
I think the install plugin only copies the built jar into the local repository.
It's not used for remote deployment, and I can't think of anything that would
fail if the checksum were off in this case. I propose closing this issue as
won't fix unless a clearer problem can be stated.
Remote deployment is a very different story, but that's not this plugin.
> Take Security More Seriously - Checksum by default

> Key: MINSTALL-133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINSTALL-133
> Project: Maven Install Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: install:install, install:install-file
> Affects Versions: 2.5.2
> Reporter: John Patrick
> Priority: Major
>
> I believe that a default of createChecksum being false is bad practice and a
> checksum should always being produced.
> Maven doesn't appear to have a guide so I'm looking towards the main apache
> guide i.e. https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html
