+1 (x3)
And it finally got rid of the "lone zero block" warning.
John, are any of the remaining 32 scheduled issues for 2.2
regressions? If not, I'd like to suggest we give this a short soak
period and then release 2.2. This seems like a high quality release to
me.
Cheers,
Brett

Hi everyone,
It's been quite awhile since we released a new version of the
Assembly Plugin, and there have been some important fixes. Along
with the plugin itself, its dependencies contain some improvements,
and all of it is ready to be released for use (at least, that's my
opinion).
Since the assembly plugin depends on releases for maven-archiver and
maven-common-artifact-filters, I'm hoping to clear them all for
release at once. Some of the highlights for the assembly plugin and
its dependencies include:
- avoiding inclusion of duplicate paths by default
- allowing archiver configuration from the POM
- detection of file/dir mode, owner, group information on non-
Windows systems
- preservation of file/dir mode, owner, group information when
archives supporting them are unpacked into an assembly
- outputFileNameMapping/outputDirectory expression improvements
...and many, many other things.
You can find the staging repository for these releases at:
http://people.apache.org/~jdcasey/stage
...and, you can pick up these staged releases for use in your build
with the following addition to your POM:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jdcasey.staged</id>
<name>John's Staged Releases</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/~jdcasey/stage/</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>jdcasey.staged</id>
<name>John's Staged Releases</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/~jdcasey/stage/</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
Full release notes for the Assembly Plugin are here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=11126&styleName=Html&version=13507
Release notes for Maven Archiver are here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=11761&styleName=Html&version=14483
And sorry, I can't seem to find release notes for the Common
Artifact Filters project. This is probably because issues for this
project often show up in different projects...in this case, the
Assembly Plugin.
Please take a minute and try out the new Assembly Plugin, and then
vote:
[ ] +1...Go, man, go!
[ ] +0...Meh.
[ ] -1...Yeah, no thanks.
Here's my +1.
Thanks,
-john
