Hey guys,
Atlassian would like to donate two plugins to the Maven project:
* maven-wagon-plugin (formerly maven-upload-plugin) - Allows you to
upload and download resources during the build lifecycle and list
remote
resources.
There is already a maven-wagon-plugin at mojo, and that would really
be more appropriate there. It's not really a core plugin and we've
been consciously trying to keep things distributed and shed all but
our core plugins. At any rate, one of these already exists at Mojo.
* maven-licenses-plugin - This plugin lists, downloads and packages
license files for your projects transitive dependencies. Useful for
creating assemblies that contain licenses.
Dan Kulp can speak more to this but there is logic in the remote-
resources-plugin to walk the transitive dependencies and grab the
organization name, but easily changed to do anything really. What's in
there is actually quite powerful and should be reused.
Both plugins are licensed under the Apache 2 license and have received
recent attention of the mailing list which has prompted the idea of
donation.
We are happy to change the names of these plugins if there is anyone
has
better suggestions for their names.
You can find both plugins on our svn:
https://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/atlassian/maven-plugins/
I'm sorting out the legal now with Atlassian. So, how can we get the
ball rolling? :)
I honestly see us going in the other direction of shedding more
plugins from Apache. Mojo still gives plugins that are immensely
useful being in default groupIds that are searched and it's far easier
to set people up there. You can get access in 5 minutes.
Thanks,
James
