There are two answers to that. Firstly the reason the files aren't included is because resource includes clause in the pom.xml only mentions the LICENSE/NOTICE but not the README so they don't get picked up in the built jar, the other reason of why its like that is because its never been called out that the jars we release must include doc files within them, so this plugin didn't on the previous releases and none of the other maven plugins of any of the module jars we've released have either.
Its obviously just an oversight and it seems reasonable that those doc files would be included and so I've updated trunk for this plugin so that they will get included on the next release, but should this block this release? IMHO it shouldn't as we've not required it for any other jars we've released in the past, leaving this to the next release to fix seems ok to me. So I'm hoping someone will still give another +1 on this vote thread. ...ant On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 11:59 AM, Mike Edwards <mike.edwards.inglen...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ant, > > Why is this famed README not in either of the jar files: > > tuscany-zip-plugin-alpha3.jar > tuscany-zip-plugin-alpha3-sources.jar > > > Yours, Mike. > > > On 17/06/2011 11:32, ant elder wrote: >> >> The most comprehensive doc is in the README file, IIRC thats mostly >> written by your good self Mike. >> >> ...ant >> > > > >
