Jochen Wiedmann commented on COMMONSSITE-21:
--------------------------------------------
I'd like to note that I do support Dennis' opinion that the
maven-remote-resources-plugin should be used, for the following reasons:
- Commons has a *very* special policy. In fact, I have been release manager for
a multitude
of ASF projects and subprojects and never found the requirements so heavy. It
takes a
real lot of time and work to accomplish this. A good example is the policy to
add LICENSE
and NOTICE files to the javadoc jar files, which I personally find
ridiculous, because (thanks
god) the javadoc files do not even carry a copyright notice. The more we
delegate to
plugins, the better, it only helps.
- Most of the open points could very well be fixed by extending or modifying the
maven-remote-resources-plugin. A good example are the file names. If they are
fixed now,
why should they not be customizable? If the developers do not want to adhere
to
our requirements, then we may very well subclass the plugin.
- Niall has pointed out, that a consistent behaviour is desirable. That is
certainly the
case. But even a consistent behaviour will require changes at some point. And
at that
point we can also only win by delegating work to a pugin.
