Hi all! On behalf of the developers working hard on the NAR plugin for Maven, it is my pleasure to announce that it is available on Maven Central now:
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|com.github.maven-nar|nar-maven-plugin|3.0.0|maven-plugin To use it, add this to your pom.xml: <plugin> <groupId>com.github.maven-nar</groupId> <artifactId>nar-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> </plugin> Since October 17th, 2010, the date of the last commit of Mark Donszelmann (the original author of the NAR plugin for Maven who is unfortunately unable to maintain it any longer), a lot of things happened. First of all, the plugin found a new home on GitHub: http://maven-nar.github.io/nar-maven-plugin/ with a team of developers and a mailing list/forum at https://groups.google.com/group/maven-nar a Git repository at https://github.com/maven-nar/nar-maven-plugin a bug tracker at https://github.com/maven-nar/nar-maven-plugin/issues and Frequently Asked Questions at https://github.com/maven-nar/nar-maven-plugin/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions Since the Git history does a fine job at listing the fine-grained changes, here is a coarse-grained list of changes: * unified Richard Kerr's, Greg Domjan's and SciJava's forks of the maven-nar-plugin (as it was formerly known) * renamed the plugin to conform with Maven's requirements * moved to a new groupId to reflect that we're on GitHub now * switch to deploy to OSS Sonatype (mirrored on Maven Central) * continuous integration testing thanks to BuildHive * merged the cpptasks-parallel code directly into nar-maven-plugin * support for MacOSX 10.9 * support for Microsoft Visual C++ resource and message compilers * support for Java 7's javah * support developing the Java part of projects using the NAR plugin in Eclipse * robust version detection of Microsoft's linkers * boat loads of bug fixes (as in: megatons of bug fixes) This would not have been possible without the tremendous support and contributions of the community. Thank you all! Ciao, Johannes Schindelin, Curtis Rueden and NAR development team
