Brett Porter commented on MSANDBOX-51:
--------------------------------------
I think it is important to avoid forking anything, unless we expect to maintain
it going forward. In the case of this class, it might be better to bridge to
commons-exec:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/exec/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/exec/OS.java?revision=672325&view=markup,
or Ant itself (we can use shade to reduce the impact of the dependency tree).
> Rewrite Plexus Utils classes at the ASF from scratch
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSANDBOX-51
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSANDBOX-51
> Project: Maven 2.x Sandbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mark Struberg
>
> plexus-utils are 85% written by ASF committers, but we still don't have a IP
> cleared history.
> For cleaning this up we aim to rewrite those classes from scratch in ASF
> maven sandbox.
> The strategy is the following:
> 1. create unit tests for the existing plexus classes
> 2. create a new implementation from scratch
> 3. the new implementation must be a binary API compatible drop-in replacement
