Hi folks, Sorry for the confusion. I just wanted to make the current version of the component available to people interested in this component. It's no official release yet and as such there has been no voting thread. The mail to the developers list was created by maven as I tried to complete the maven based build environment to allow distros and releases to be done easily later on. I'll try to avoid sending any "announcements" to the list in future if this is considered harmful. So: Sorry again for that one. I'm currently working on completing this tiny component (javadocs, tests, documentation) in order to be able to prepare an "official" release. There are some questions left: - What is the correct place to put unofficial sandbox-releases for download? Or is it needed for anyone interested to check out the sources and build a jar themselves? - I still can not find any maven documentation on how to use the dist-plugin in a useful way. Is there any commons project around using maven in a proper way to generate releases/distros and generate an appropriate download page? If you have a look at i18n you'll see that the download link points to one of the distributions .zip file. I would like to point to the distro directory as such. - What are the steps that need to be done to move a component (once it is completed and considered useful) to commons-proper?
Cheers, Daniel BTW: Thanks to Woody and others for their contributions to the i18n-component! > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Im Auftrag von robert burrell donkin > Gesendet: Sonntag, 20.
