[Maven-plugins-developer] RE: Supporting Maven2 - WAS Re: How to contribute to the Weblogic plugin

[Scott R. <sc...@th...>]

From the looks of it many of the existing sf.net maven plugins are moving
over to codehaus mojo project.  It is an unusual process to get it accepted
over there but I may go ahead and submit it over there since they already
have a pretty thorough setup to automatically build and maintain the plugins
as part of the Maven 2 process.  They have jira support for each plugin as
well.

I am open to any input that anyone has for me not to move the Weblogic Maven
2 plugin but I just want to get it delivered out to the community for
feedback and further enhancement.  I am sensitive to the fact this plugin
had it genesis at SourceForge and that I am just a late entrant to the
development cycle.   I want to keep the plugin alive and growing and
anyplace that we can put it to  get the community involved is a good thing.

If we can come up with a structure or plan among the maven development
community within sourceforge I am more than happy to support  that as well
but the community looks a little stronger at codehaus.

I welcome your input and support.

Hi Scott,

I was the original author but I'm not the owner of the plugin - it
became your kid a long time ago ... :-). Consequently is the decision
where to host the plugin yours.

Since I'm out of touch with Maven 2 plugin development - what are the
current plans for supporting the development of Maven 2 plugins?

If there are no further plans/ideas I propose

+) creating ${CVSROOT}/maven-plugins/maven2-plugins/ in parallel to the
existing ${CVSROOT}/maven-plugins/maven-plugins/ directory

+) setting up a master build fro the Maven 2 plugins

+) updating the website to distict between Maven 1 and Maven 2

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl
