Hi all! I noticed that Velocity 2.0 is still at snapshot level, it seems a lot of time to me :-) So I would like to ask: What's missing to release it?
I took a look at the issues scheduled for 2.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310130&fixfor=12312884 I noticed that they are two: * there is a pure documentation issue, that seems fixed (with the exception of some alcohol-driven comments :-D ) * the other is an issue that is really easily fixed with Maven with the release plugin. Moreover this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-65 seems driven from prejudice against Maven, and the comment was from 2006, a lot of things have changed. I think that the Maven move is easy, knowing what needs to be done. Since the Ant build files are pretty big, I did not go too deep reading them. What do they do? I noticed that they: * compile * test * make packages Is there anything else? The only *small* problem is with the tests. I managed to execute tests under Maven, see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-122 There is only *one* test that I am not able to execute, since it needs a container, i.e. it is an integration test and it needs, essentially, a web project (correct me if I am wrong). Is it the case to exclude the Maven path for merely a single *integration* test? Thanks for your attention Antonio
