Niall Pemberton updated MRRESOURCES-31:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: NOTICE.txt.vm
LICENSE.txt.vm
pom.xml
Sorry, the svn client I use (TortoiseSVN) doesn't create patches properly when
new directories are added - so I'm just attaching the three files. Directory
structure is the same as apache-jar-resource-bundle.
> Add an "alternative" apache-jar-resource-bundle

> Key: MRRESOURCES-31
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-31
> Project: Maven 2.x Remote Resources Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Niall Pemberton

> I propose adding an "alternative" apache-jar-resource-bundle (perhaps called
> "apache-jar-resource-bundle-alt"?) which is a copy of the existing
> apache-jar-resource-bundle[1] except that the
> LICENSE.vm is renamed to LICENSE.txt.vm
> NOTICE.vm is renamed to NOTICE.txt.vm
> This will create files named LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt rather than LICENSE
> and NOTICE.
> The ASF policy[2] on the naming of these files says:
> - Can the LICENSE and NOTICE files be called LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt?
> - This is permitted. However the preference is that the files be called
> LICENSE and NOTICE.
> Many projects use ".txt" extensions as its more friendly to windows users and
> since the policy says its permitted then IMO it would be good to support
> projects which chose to use that naming convention with a standard resource
> bundle.
> This has come out of a discussion at Apache Commons [3] and a bundle such as
> this would allow that project (with 34 diffferent components, each with a
> copy of NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt) to be able to easily migrate to using the
> remote-resources-plugin with minimal effort. Currently, configuring the
> remote-resources-plugin in Commons's parent pom causes duplicate Notice and
> License files (i.e. versions with and without the .txt extension).
> Apologies if this is filed in the wrong place - but theres no issue tracking
> link in the pom for apache-jar-resource-bundle to indicate where issues
> should be filed.
