Hi, Various people from the Maven, Ant and Repository teams have been looking at the possibility of getting some PGP related code done for a while. This is primiarly for signing releases - and from our end is for use in Wagon and the artifact tasks as part of the release/deployment process. Ant would like to make some tasks for the same.
To start with, bouncycastle will be used to do the PGP, though I think that it was going to be left open to be able to implement it with a different provider. JCE doesn't provide all the functionality necessary on its own, at least to my knowledge. Hopefully this will be more than a thin wrapper around bouncycastle, and can take care of some of the key handling as well as generating the signatures and possibly encryption. We propose to do this work in jakarta-commons-sandbox, under commons-pgp. Existing Maven developers can get commit access immediately, if they don't already have it. Is anyone interested in helping out? Does anyone know of any appropriately licensed Java libraries in this realm?
