Hi all,

Why?? Maven will just download it when specified in a project's pom... It
is already packaged, as a maven plugin; packaging it in yet another way
seems very un-"maven like", counter-intuitive, waste-of-time-ish,.... Why
does debian need a different way of packaging??

Just to give some deails: maybe I used the wrong word. I do not want to repackage it from scratch, I want to package so it can be installed also via a debian-package. In this way the artifact is placed in a local maven repository that is used when building other packages than need javacc-maven-plugin. In fact, one requirement for Debian packages is that it must be possible to build them offline.

As you can see here:
http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/javacc-maven-plugin/ the
sources are published as a jar file for each release.

No, the sources jar simply contains the sources for the jar, but it's not a
source distribution, since you cannot build the plugin from this. Therefore
all Apache projects provide an additional src artifact that can be used to
build the result again. For most Mojos (all?) you have to checkout the
sources from the tag to rebuild the release.

Ok, thanks for the info.

package I need to know who are the copyright holders.

Jesse McConnell, Paul Gier and myself are committers that come to my mind. 
Looking at the SVN commit history is the only way I know of to get a more 
complete list.

I got the list of committers to the last release
    167  bentmann
     56  jesse
     37  pgier
      4  carlos
      2  trygvis
      2  kismet
      2  hboutemy
      2  brianfox
      2  aramirez
      1  rafale
      1  jruiz
      1  jeanlaurent
      1  evenisse

Unfortunately I only get usernames, rather than full names and email addresses. The first 3 clearly match the three names you gave me. I will add those 3 for now. If anybody else claims (or knows somebody else who does) copyright on some part of the code of javacc-mavan-plugin, please let me know ASAP.

Btw, it would be nie some information on this page
http://mojo.codehaus.org/javacc-maven-plugin/team-list.html
rather than "There are no developers working on this project."


Thanks to everybody for the feedback,
Cheers,
Ludovico
