Great to hear! Here is my personal wish list. ;-)
IMHO generally a good idea is to provide public releases of all maven plugins and mojohouse plugins which had not been release within 12 months, so we all can get rid of depending on -SNAPSHOTs and private forks. :-) When asking for features particularly speeding up everything which has to do with file processing would be useful. I think we are not the only ones having build times in the area of minutes, where seconds would be cool. The main reason is (a) that Maven its underlying libraries (not yet) makes use of multi-version-JARs hence cannot make use of modern Java APIs like NIO where possible in an easy way but relies on API level 7 and older, and (b) that Maven copies files around a bit too much where linking and / or copy-on-write would be sufficient. Having said this, it would be a really great feature to get an easy-to-use solution for creating multi-version-JARs. -Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Elliotte Rusty Harold [mailto:elh...@ibiblio.org] Gesendet: Freitag, 10. April 2020 16:13 An: Maven Developers List Betreff: Maven intern projects Due to external developments, I am suddenly able to recruit, fund, and manage as many as five interns, probably undergraduates, to work on open source projects such as Maven and its plugins for 12 weeks this summer. My management chain has a particular interest in reproducible builds, so if there's work to be done on that, it would be a really easy sell. However I can probably get approval for any useful project that can plausibly be accomplished by a junior/senior CS major in 12 weeks. We do like these to be feature projects, not simply refactoring or maintenance. If anyone has a good idea, or would simply like to point me to particular issues in Jira that sound like good projects, let me know and I can start the bureaucratic wheels turning on my end. As long as the feature being proposed already has general agreement that it's a good idea, I'll be able to do pretty much all the legwork for managing the project(s). It shouldn't require any noticeable time from other maintainers. Let me know if you have any ideas. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
