Felix Meschberger updated FELIX-1747:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: FELIX-1747-apache-parent-7-v2.patch
Final proposed patch to simplify the generation of compliant Apache Felix
releases.
This patch has the following properties:
* Version is 2-SNAPSHOT (It is common to simply count up the version numbers of
parent POMs instead of using structured version numbers)
* Less artifacts are generated than before: The *-bin* artifacts are not
generated any longer. IMHO this is not a big issue because the mainly useful
artifacts are still generated: the bundle(s), the sources JAR for the Maven
Repository, the source-release JAR (official object of the vote), and the
JavaDoc JAR
* If the project has a changelog.txt file in the root folder (e.g. scr,
configadmin, webconsole) the file is copied to the META-INF folder in the built
artifacts (or the root folder of the source-release JAR).
* At the end of the build two additional plugins check the validity of the
build artifacts: The RAT plugin verifies ASL headers in the files and the Ianal
plugin verifies the existence of the LICENSE and NOTICE files.
I have tested the parent pom (after applying attached patch
FELIX-1747-apache-parent-7-v2.patch) with the configadmin project and think,
that the result is ok.

> Richard Hall started a discussion on the dev list to redo the Apache Felix
> NOTICE file [1] and also created a Wiki page as the basis for further
> discussion [2].
> I have now tried to convert the WebConsole project and the parent pom into
> using the remote resources plugin.
> The parent POM is modified to depend on the Apache parent 6, which already
> includes the remote resources plugin setup. I also added the
> maven-ianal-plugin which verifies the presence of the legal files (and IIRC
> also runs rat on the source). I will attach the parent pom patch.
> Note, that depending on the Apache parent 6, we can even get rid of most of
> our release profile setup, which is already present in the Apache parent 6.
> The modified Web Console project is available in my sandbox at [3]. The
> changes are
> - depend on the snapshot parent pom (expecting modification patch applied)
> - removed all notice and license files from root folder
> - created src/main/appended-resources folder with the following contents
> - supplemental-models.xml for the JSON additional information (this
> file is required only for incomplete dependencies)
> - LICENSE.vm - additional licenses in one single file - will be merged
> with ASL2 file
> - NOTICE.vm - additional notes (only silk icons are required here)
> The result is the correct LICENSE file (ASL2 plus all dependent licenses) and
> correct NOTICE only containining required notes and finally a DEPENDENCIES
> file listing M2 dependencies with their organizational and license
> information.
> One thing that is still missing from this setup is the correct setup of the
> maven assembly plugin: This plugin does not pack the generated LICENSE and
> NOTICE files using the plugin provided descriptors. The solution would be to
> define our own descriptors in a separate project, which we can refer to in
> the assembly plugin setup (see [4] for how we could do this). This would
> simplify parent pom setup for releases even more because we could define the
> descriptors without bz2 generation and directly attach the generated
> assemblies.
