My initial impression at recreating the current release artifacts using m2 (whether we should stick to the current style of release artifacts TBD, but current packaging has worked for us so far) has been that each taglib will have a multi-module build, one that has a jar packaging (for taglibs-foo.jar) and two that will have war packaging (foo-examples.war and foo-doc.war). Probably need some antrun execution for the TLDs, possibly for parts of the doc jar (especially for RDC, which uses tag files and custom stylesheets to generate TLD reference docs). The above plan will require quite a reshuffle in the svn layout (hence I opted for a branch). > The Ant system has the ability to output different versions of the > specification - I think we'll probably be losing that given that we > have to specify which servlet jar we're using.

About different specifications, it may be possible to do that using m2 profiles. > I'm not sure if the wars will be easy or hard - haven't done that in > m2, and it tends to be single-artifact focused.

There is atleast one taglib plugin [1], though I haven't used it. -Rahul [1] http://maven-taglib.sourceforge.net/m2/ > Hen > <snap/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
