It would really be nice if the Maven/Gump/Forrest/Trove/etc. descriptors could be converged. With a base vocabulary that all can share, and an ability to have namespace qualified tool extensions.

Yup - so what do you think: should/could this be something to be added
to/triggered by Gump? Or do you prefer it to live outside, and only trying to define that convergence w.r.t. descriptors...?


Areas were being part of Gump might help are existing buy-in by a lot of projects (even non-Apache ones!), and the description and uri already being there. Problem is that Gump only maintains a linear 'classification' of projects, whereas I want some hierarchy, and the notion of keywords that needs to be added.

I don't know enough about the Gump machinery to start extending it (but I'm downloading it ATM), so any guidance is welcome.

P.S. Gump is capable of running anything that can be run via the command line and produces output to stdout/stderr.

Duly noted :)

As of know, Trove is nothing more than 2 XSLT stylesheets, it doesn't make use (yet) of any Cocoon-specific component.
