Guys, this sounds like bike shed paint discussion.
We're under resourced here as it is. Do we really have extra volunteers waiting to frack about making reports consistent? Does it really make it easier for our users? I haven't seen complaints about inconsistent maven reports lately. AFAICT, maintaining the project.xml files hasn't been a big hassle. On 5/20/06, Dennis Lundberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello I would like to start a discussion about trying to unify which Maven reports should be used for each commons component. The reasons I find for unifying the reports are these: - Makes it easy for our users if we are consistent - they know what to expect - Makes it easier for us to maintain our project.xml files - Facilitate Maven 2 migration Digging into the Maven 1 POMs for commons proper I have come up with the list of reports here below. Some reports that are only used in a few components have been omitted. I have also tried to categorize and describe each report, borrowing/stealing a lot from chapter 6 in the new book "Better Builds with Maven". + means that I think that all components should use this report o means that I think this report should be optional - means that I don't think any component should use this report Standard + license Source health + checkstyle (code formatting) + jdepend (quality metrics) + pmd/cpd (bugs, code duplication, coding standards) + tasklist (to do list) - findbugs (same as pmd?) - simian (same as cpd) Tests + cobertura (test coverage) + junit (test reports) - clover (same as cobertura) - jcoverage (same as cobertura) Changes since last release + changelog (SCM activity per commit) + clirr (binary compatibility) + developer-activity (SCM activity per developer) + file-activity (SCM activity per file) o changes - jdiff (same as clirr) Reference + javadoc + jxr (cross reference) User guide o faq - linkcheck (might be enabled during development) With that I will duck from the flames and see what the rest of you think :) -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
