Hi Kevan,

On another thread (see bottom of this email) a few days ago you said:

"This archive contains DISCLAIMER and DEPENDENCIES files which are not
in the svn tag."

There doesn't seem to be consistency across Apache on whether to
include the DEPENDENCIES file or not. What are the arguments for not
including it? Certainly Apache Felix favour including it [1]

The way we create releases is our default-parent/pom.xml is configured
to use the maven-remote-resources-plugin to pull in the resource
bundle org.apache:apache-jar-resource-bundle:1.4 ... which is an
Apache standard set of resources as far as I can tell. This includes a
DEPENDENCIES.vm file which of course means our release artifacts have
a DEPENDENCIES file in them.

I've tried adding an
<excludes><exclude>**/DEPENDENCIES*</exclude></excludes> to the
<configuration> element of the maven-remote-resources-plugin in our
parent/default-parent/pom.xml but that doesn't affect what is put into
the source zip.

I'd like to continue using the apache-jar-resource-bundle but without
pulling in the DEPENDENCIES. Unless someone knows of a way of using
the apache-jar-resources-bundle without the DEPENDENCIES file part, I
think our best option is to pull the contents of that into the
default-pom module. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Look inside the source release artifact
(application-0.2.2-source-release.zip). This archive contains
DISCLAIMER and DEPENDENCIES files which are not in the svn tag.

The DISCLAIMER is not needed, since we aren't in incubator any longer...
