Hi, I am volunteering to maintain the Webstart Maven Plugin. It has fallen into inactivity despite there being a demand for new feature and a large number of open tickets.
I have contacted the current lead, and he is happy for me to take over. I've included an email exchange confirming this at the end of this message. If this is OK with everyone concerned, what are the next steps? Thanks, Tim Hello, Sure. I haven't done any webstart for 10 years I think :) Some of my former colleagues would probably appreciate if the plugin got some love,. Normally this change is probably done on the mojo-dev list, ask request to become maintainer, modify the POM to move me as former / inactive developer and put yourself in and start coding ! Feel free to paste this text from me in your request if you feel like. Good luck!
