I understand all that and from your perspective this is definitly a good
thing.

I don't know nothing about recent complaints reagrding javacc plugin. Really
it just works for me.

What I am saying is that from the user perspective it is reasonable to
expect that builds which used to work out of the box with maven 1.0.X 
should also work with maven 1.1.x. (just minor version is changing). Believe
it or not but there is a bunch of users who has never built maven plugin and
even don't know how to manually download plugins. In case of the enterprises
where nobody is controlling which version of maven they are using so if any
of them will upgrade to maven 1.1 (or simply somebody new will just start
directly using maven from version 1.1.0). For such people it is really a
breaking and quite scary change. There is a general and a good rule often
used while software platforms are evolving:: things go in, but they never go
out (even if they are of dubious quality or better equivalents already
exit). Java/Windows and other platforms try to follow that rule as full
backward compatibility is a top priority for them. In your case m2 will
hopefully come with high quality plugins, but removal of the plugin from the
base distribution of m1 will actually downgrade user experience rather then
improve it. People are (unfortunately) used to undocumented plugins but they
are not used to disappearing ones. 

Note: I am not writing about plugins which are clearly broken or are not
working at all.


BTW: Are you going to publish all plugins from sandbox somewhere?

I am using JavaCC in production for two very important projects and it
would be a problem if you remove it.

So my -1 on this one.

This is not about terminating plugins, but about improving the out of 
the box usability. So while you might be using it - that's fine, and you 
can continue to do so by downloading the last release, or building from 
the sandbox. But until someone steps up to maintain it and document it, 
I'd rather not have it in the core distribution. Of all the plugins, it 
and probably "release" are the ones that had a specific complaint about 
its roadworthiness from a user.




Wouldn't it be nice to ask users - how many of them are using plugins

My original email said exactly that, and that's the step I'm taking now.

I am using javacc in production in couple of project and it actually

up to date. I know that there is more people using it. So if I could 
cast no binding, user vote for that plugin it would be:  -1.

I guess that there is probably bit more people following the traffic on

I as well use Simian and it works well.  PMD's CPD report does the same, but
they give different output (which is a different issue!  :-)

Not that I have a vote...+1 all too.  I hope to see good info like "docbook
- superseded by the SF one" included on the doc pages for the plugins, and
why they are in the sandbox.  E.g. I intend to use the docbook plugin soon,
and I say "thanks for the tip" to use the SF one instead.  :-)

If you would like to take over this plugin I suggest you do so at the
Maven Plugins project at Source Forge[1]. If you tell Brett your sf user
id I'm sure Brett will add you to the project.

This is a step in the right direction. These plugins can be revived if
someone is willing to maintain them, and presently they drag down the
perceived value of maven plugins as a whole. I know that in times past
I've been reluctant to try new plugins based on the mess that some other
plugins were (*cough* xdoclet *cough*). If this comes with a criteria
for inclusion of plugin projects (or at least a confidence rating about
the plugin's stability), I think we'll hit a point where people (like
me) are confident that they will be able to actually use the plugins
that are out there...

I don't know if I am entitled to vote but I find it a shame that the 
latex plugin should be removed. Even though I have never used it myself, 
I would certainly have done so if it would have worked properly. I am 
quite sure that it would be useful for a number of people.


I'd have to take some time and have a closer look at it, but in 
principle I would be willing to take over its maintainance, if nobody 
else does so.

no outstanding issues:
ashkelon - unmaintained, no idea if it works
wizard - doesn't work
vdoclet - only used by tasklist, will fold it into that
tjdo - no maintainer
shell - no maintainer

outstanding issues, but nothing that requires being kept:
appserver - out of date, no maintainer
webserver - out of date, no maintainer
aspectwerkz - no maintainer, out of date
caller - never used
struts - out of date, not being maintained

outstanding issues - bugs & feature requests:

javacc - experimental at best, no maintainer
jdee - no idea how to test it, no maintainer
jdeveloper - no maintainer
junitdoclet - no maintainer
latex - not being maintained
latka - not being maintained

Not to be removed now, but to get merged and removed by the final 1.1 
release:

- repository - not being maintained (move upload-bundle to artifact plugin)
- release - moved used functionality to SCM plugin
- j2ee - depended on by struts and ear, move the tag into ear

Borderline (not included in this vote, but likely to be culled in future 
if they don't get fixed and nobody volunteers):

- jbuilder (not of same level as other IDE plugins)
- jcoverage (replaced by Corbetura)
- jira - not working, no maintainer?
- simian - not being maintained
- jdiff - not being maintained

Brett

I'm using simian from time to time and jdiff is a plugin I'd love to use (I
think I've used it once or twice but it wasn't flexible enough and I
probably got to use jdiff directly from my maven.xml).

Basically, I'd love that we be able to keep simian/jdiff. I also think the
JIRA plugin should be kept and modified to generate a changes.xml file so
that all other plugins manipulating changes.xml files can be used
(announcement, xdocs, multichanges, etc).

Thanks
-Vincent

[vote] demote plugins

2005-06-11 Thread Brett Porter
Please vote on demoting the following plugins. They will be moved back 
to the sandbox, and will not be distributed with Maven 1.1. Any with no 
open bugs in JIRA will have their project deleted (we should work on a 
server side solution to toss all the others into a sandbox bug project 
and delete them too).


Docs will be added to the backwards compat page explaining how you get 
the old releases, and what to do if you want to revive its development. 
An RFC will be sent to the user list first too.


A single +1 indicates agreement to all of the below. Otherwise, please 
+1, -1 the individually. Any -1's will prevent that plugin from being 
demoted until we can resolve the issue. The vote is open until it is no 
longer Monday 13th in your part of the world.
