Hi again, The plugin-plugin is the second plugin I would like to release after the arifact-plugin. The biggest change in this release is the introduction of the validate-xml tag which allows to validate arbitrary xml documents against schemas, dtds, rngs, etc. It will be used by a number of plugins to validate their respective input documents (xdoc, faq, pdf, pom, changes,...).
There are two special points I want to emphasize to make sure people are aware of it and agree: - The xml validation routines are fully namespace aware, in particular, poms without a namespace declaration are considered invalid. Note that this does not in any way influence the functioning of the plugin/project, only the pom:validate goal will report an invalid pom. - The plugin:plugin goal requires the artifact plugin v1.7 and therefore maven 1.1. That means that maven 1.0 users will not be able to install and deploy plugins from sources (only plugin:download will work for them). The future documentation is here: http://people.apache.org/~ltheussl/maven-stage-site/maven-1.x/reference/plugins/plugin/ I give it the usual 72 hours and my +1. -Lukas =============================================================================== Changes in this version include: New Features: o Allow plugin-test directory to be changed. Fixes MPPLUGIN-33. o Resolve project.xml inheritance when installing plugin. plugin:plugin goal now requires at least maven 1.1 and maven-artifact-plugin 1.7. Fixes MPPLUGIN-3. o new plugin:validate-xml tag to validate xml documents against a schema. o new assert:assertPluginAvailable tag to check if a minimal release of a plugin is present. Fixed bugs: o NTLM Proxy Problem. Fixes MPPLUGIN-25. Thanks to Jamie McCrindle, Barrie Treloar. o plugin:download didn't redownload SNAPSHOT plugins. Fixes MPPLUGIN-26. Changes: o Update dependencies to match ones in maven 1.1 core and to unify them between plugins. The following dependencies are updated : commons-jelly-tags-xml v1.0 -> v1.1 commons-logging v1.0.3 -> v1.0.4 jdom v b10 -> v1.0 xercesImpl v 2.4.0 -> v2.6.2 xml-apis v 1.0.b2 -> xmlParserAPIs v2.6.2 Fixes MAVEN-1712. =============================================================================== To automatically install the plugin, type the following on a single line: maven plugin:download -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,http://cvs.apache.org/repository/ -DgroupId=maven -DartifactId=maven-plugin-plugin -Dversion=1.7-SNAPSHOT --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
