Dear Bindul,
Completely agree with you on this. Yes, the Maven plugins really have value
outside of Insight.
It is not uncommon for new projects to be spawned off existing ones. Please go
ahead. The name(Infix) sounds strange but nice ☺
Cheers!

Subject: [insight-devel] [Proposal] Split maven plugins to separate project
All,
I would like to propose that we split out the Maven plug-ins developed to aid
Insight development into a separate SF.net project (MindTree Maven Plugins or
MindTree Infix?). My reasoning for the proposal:
1. The scope and use of the plug-ins does not really chime with the core
theme of the MindTree Insight SF.net project (which is to develop and
distribute Insight). The plug-ins are general purpose tools to aid in
Software/Release engineering
2. Majority of the user defects and requested enhancements on the Insight
Trackers (excluding the ones we copied over from internal MindTree trackers)
are for the two plug-ins. See [1], [2] and [3] below.
3. A separate Maven plug-in centric project provides a place to grow and
enhance the two plug-ins independently as well as promotes future related
plug-ins.
The new project would of course have the similar development policies as
Insight (like the MindTree namespace for packages: like
com.mindtree.techworks.infix.*; attribution similar to [4]; GPL licensing;
etc.).
Please share your thoughts / support / objection.
Regards,
Bindul
