Dear EasyAnters, I've been working on sonar integration as a plugin for easyant. Source are hosted on github :https://github.com/easyant/sonar-easyant-plugin .
Since a few weeks, JFrog (guys behind Artifactory) opened a new online service for OpenSourcers : Bintray. Bintray is a social service for developers to publish, download, store, promote, and share open source software packages. With Bintray's full self-service platform developers have full control over their published software and how it is distributed to the world. What would be the benefits for easyant ? We currently have our own repostory (repository.easyant.org) hosted on a private server. I would prefer to switch to a more reliable repository like bintray. No need to worry about backup, disaster recovery. We could just focus on content. They also offers download statistics which could be interresting for us. I created a repository to host community plugins : https://bintray.com/repo/browse/easyant/community-plugins To use it add the following resolver in your ivysettings.xml <url name="community-plugins"> <artifact pattern=" http://dl.bintray.com/content/easyant/community-plugins/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]"/> <ivy pattern=" http://dl.bintray.com/content/easyant/community-plugins/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]"/> </url> Currently only sonar-easyant-plugin package is available. As bintray and github supports "Markdown" syntax, i made some experimentation on plugin documentation generation. Result on github : https://github.com/easyant/sonar-easyant-plugin Result on bintray : https://bintray.com/pkg/show/readmore/easyant/community-plugins/sonar-easyant-plugin If sources are on github, read more page from github can be "synced" with README.md. If not we can edit directly in bintray. You can notice that Table markdown syntax seems broken on bintray (or not supported yet). I reported it few minutes ago. I'm really satisfied by the result and wondering if we should move our plugins there. We can be backward compatible on exposed urll without effort. What do you think? -- Jean Louis Boudart Independent consultant Apache EasyAnt commiter http://ant.apache.org/easyant/
