Can someone summarize what's wrong with the gump descriptor used by
all jakarta and xml projects ?
I understand we may need to add more stuff ( maybe using some ns: ), but I don't quite understand why we need to change existing definitions.
If you look at the proposed DTD, apart from the root element, there is basically nothing that the Gump descriptor cannot cope with.
It's the route we've taken with Forrest, and my proposal takes from that.
These are Gump project descriptors that already embed the proposed elements:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/xml-forrest/module.xml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-poi/module.xml?rev=HEAD&only_with_tag=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/krysalis/krysalis-centipede/module.xml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Also note that I've not included href attributes, as they are expanded by default by Gump.
Since Maven has it's own descriptor, I initially thought it was better not to start another Gump VS Maven format debate that I've already gone through more than once on the Alexandria list and elswhere (if you want the details see the archives).
But when I saw that Maven guys volunteered to make a plugin that outputs the descriptor, I proposed the DTD which is plainly from the Forrest extensions to Gump.
Probably it means that it's just easier for Maven to add the elements in the Gump plugin?
