I can look later next week.

Could one of the maven developers review the changes that I did in the
sandbox:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/resources/apache-jar-
resource-bundle
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/plugins/maven-remote-
resources-plugin
The changes are to address/fix all the remaining MRRESOURCES bugs:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-2
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-3
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-4
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-5
as well as address the Apache requirements for the NOTICE files.
Basically, there are three sources of information that can go into
the NOTICE
files:
1) Standard Apache stuff - basically, the stuff at the top that says
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// NOTICE file corresponding to the section 4d of The Apache License,
// Version 2.0, in this case for Apache XXXX
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
plus other stuff. The old version of the maven-remote-resources-
plugin
only handled this.
2) Information in the poms of the dependencies - many poms contain
the URL of
the project, the organization, etc... that could be put right into
NOTICE
file. The current version of the plugin ignores this source of
information. The stuff above will now use that information to add
lines
like:
This product includes/uses software, XmlSchema
(http://ws.apache.org/commons/XmlSchema),
developed by Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)
This product includes/uses software, Spring Framework: AOP
(http://www.springframework.org),
developed by Spring Framework (http://www.springframework.org/)
For this to work well, we definitely need to encourage people that
produce
maven artifacts to produce better poms with more details. (and correct
details) Then again, we should do that anyway.
3) Developer added stuff - if the developer actually has added some
extra
stuff (like w3c copyrighted schemas or something) into the jar,
those need to
be added to the NOTICE file. The old version "solves" this by
allowing the
developer to completely override the remote-resource. However,
they have to
override the entire thing losing all the #1 and #2 benefits. The
above adds
an "appendedResourceDirectory" (defaults to
${basedir}/src/main/appended-resources) which the plugin will
append to
resulting remote resources. If there is a META-INF/NOTICE in
there, it will
append those contents to the generated NOTICE file.
Anyway, if someone could look at the changes and possible merge
them in and
deploy a snapshot, that would be great.
Thanks!
