I hacked around on the pluto build and got it to complete, see rev 774969.

We may have introduced some problems with putting the assembly plugin configuration for the source distros into portals-pom pluginManagement. We may also be able to fix the problems by requiring maven 2.1 or 2.0.10. I'll investigate.

The m-r-r-p doesn't do too well with war files, it puts the license/ notice files in WEB-INF/classses/META-INF where they appear (to me at least) to apply to the classes in WEB-INF/classes rather than to the entire war. We need to do something either to relocate the legal files or make the ianal plugin happier with their location.

I'm pretty confused by the intentions in the pluto build. It certainly needs a __lot__ of cleanup if we use the portals-pom as parent, many many plugins are respecified.

The main non-straightforward-question for me is why the root pom that builds everything isn't also the parent pom. I think the intention is to release all the pluto stuff at once at the same version; in this case I think the standard maven structure is to have the root pom be also the parent of all the modules. If the intention is to make the modules independently releasable then the root pom needs a really prominent notice that it must not be used for releases.

The build is broken, seems the IANAL plugin is checking all files. Why do we have this zip file here anyway?


I'll look, but I think this is probably the required source distro. Most likely there are no LICENSE and NOTICE files at the svn checkout root and ianal is telling us to fix it before trying an invalid release.
