I've just been told about the Maven Sandbox, which seems like it might be a better location for two general purpose plugins that are currently being developed at Apache Commons.
Digest The digest plugin is a simple plugin that can generate hashes (currently just MD5 and SHA1) for any files specified via includes/excludes (or on command-line). Although it's possible to use Antrun to create the hashes, it's a bit awkward to configure. The plugin could be extended to check digests as well, and of course to generate other digest types. I'm hoping it might be generally useful. Gpg-signfiles This is an extension of the Maven Gpg Plugin which can sign arbitrary files, not just ones attached to the project I'm hoping it might be merged with the existing Gpg plugin one day; having the code in the sandbox should make it easier for other Maven devs to help. I propose creating the following directories under https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/plugins maven-digest-plugin maven-gpgsignfiles-plugin Any objections? Also, is there a Sandbox repo where the plugins can be deployed for testing? Or is it up to users to checkout the source and install the plugins locally? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
