Hello again,
We have discussed this before somewhat superficially but never got to a
concrete conclusion so I'd like to call for a formal vote to finalize
this and collect some opinions if necessary. Let me point out and
emphasize that we are quite short of manpower for m1, so the main
motivation for this call is a lack of maintainers for a lot of plugins
(right now we still have 65 plugins that would ship with the core).
The following are all plugins that I have never used myself, I have no
idea how and if they work and I don't want to invest time to find out.
They are all basically unmaintained, I therefore propose to move them
back into the sandbox:
Plugins to demote with work to do:
[] repository - (do we need upload-bundle? I don't see where it's used)
[] release - move used classes to SCM plugin (Fabrizio?)
[] j2ee - move the resolver tag into ear and j2ee:validate-war to
war:validate (Stephane?)
Other unmaintained plugins:
[] abbot
[] antlr
[] castor - not working (see MPCASTOR-7)
[] cruisecontrol
[] hibernate
[] jboss
[] jbuilder - inferior to other IDE plugins
[] jcoverage - replaced by Cobertura
[] jdiff
[] jetty
[] jnlp
[] nsis
[] uberjar - not working (see MPUBERJAR-8), inferior to javaapp-plugin
A single +1 signifies agreement with demoting all of them, otherwise
please specify individually. I expect anybody who puts a -1 to any of
them to come up with an alternative solution (re-publish as is? take
over maintenance and get ready for m1.1? other?).
Finally, I guess we will have to do a poll on the user list as well,
even though I don't know how binding that can be if we don't find a
maintainer.
Here's my tentative +1, hope to hear from you within 72h.
-Lukas
