+1. Will this be a copy of xwiki-commons-pom, or an extension that overrides a few sections? Should it include the license check plugin, which currently enforces LGPL2.1? Should we make it easier to change the license being enforced? What do we put instead of the <developers>? Do we make it a generic "XWiki community", or leave it empty so that others can fill it in? We can use the enforcer's requireProperty rule to check that mandatory sections have been filled in. I'd like to have a single xwiki.version property instead of the current commons, rendering, platform.version, so that people don't have to think which one should they use for each module. Instead of deploy-file, why not actually release older versions? Since it's a separate repository, we can do that, we don't have to sync releases with the official XWiki releases. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
