I'm not a developer on this project, but a long time user of maven and the maven gwt plugin. From what I've seen of this group, and Charlie in particular, they have been very proactive (see Charlie's comment about trying to avoid the 'gwt' prefix collision).
I, from a trust/emotional standpoint, would prefer to keep this gwt-maven project hosted as-is with google because many people are indeed already using the gwt-maven project, Charlie and team have built up trust in the project (very important), and large amount of feedback has gone back into this project. To up and move it would cause a lot of potential issues that most people would like to avoid. It is very frustrating that the 'gwt' prefix collision has happened, attempts to avoid it were made, and there is no way for Charlie and team to go but to sidestep the issue by renaming the gwt-maven project's prefix because codehaus decided they had the right to the prefix (which they may based on 'tier 1'-style maven plugin support, not saying one way or the other). my two coppers, -D --- On Tue, 11/25/08, jieryn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: jieryn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Invited to join efforts with the Codehaus Mojo plugin - thoughts? To: "gwt-maven" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 9:24 AM I think a unification would be in the best interests of the user base; there was already a lot of confusion as to which plugin should be used and configured, and the recent deployment of codehaus plugin to central did not help. I reviewed the codehaus plugin about 6 months ago, and the 1.0.0 release doesn't seem to have improved things. The codehaus plugin seems to be significantly far behind the google plugin in: features, maturity, actual use/deployment. I don't see any aspects to the codehaus plugin that would be beneficial to the google plugin. So, if a unification of the plugins would simply be the replacement of codehaus plugin in whole with the google plugin, then I wholeheartedly vote yes. I think it would be advantageous for the google plugin to fall under codehaus because, as you say, it is the path to true maven pluginhood. Perhaps the codehaus plugin team could serve as a cleansing of the google plugin codebase, putting things into the formality expected of Maven plugins, etc. That would certainly be an advantage; especially, and I mean no offense Charlie (and team) as I am quite grateful to your hard work, there seems to be some peculiarities and uncertainties about how to do things the Maven way, at times. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gwt-maven" group.
