John Dunlap commented on MNG-1755: ---------------------------------- I was about to create a feature request for a <developerManagement> tag but decided to first search for the tag name. The fact that there was already an open feature request for it suggests, at least to me, that it is an, at least from a developer's perspective, an intuitive extension to maven. Having said that, I really like Joerg's idea of <teamManagement> better than my own idea as it is better thought out a more complete solution to nearly identical problems. I cast my vote for <teamManagement> instead of <developerManagement>. > Improve support for <developers> in reactor builds > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1755 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1755 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: POM > Reporter: Mike Perham > Fix For: 3.x > > > I would like to see something like <developerManagement> added which acts > similarly to the other management elements in the POM. This would allow a > top-level project POM to list all the developers, their orgs, timezones, > emails, etc and child projects to reference just the ID and the developers > role in that module. Something like this: > parent's pom.xml: > <developerManagement> > <developer> > <id>msanchez</id> > <name>Matt Sanchez</name> > <email>matt.sanc...@webifysolutions.com</email> > <url>http://priori.webify.local:9090/display/~msanchez</url> > <timezone>-6</timezone> > </developer> > <developer> > <id>mperham</id> > <name>Mike Perham</name> > <email>mper...@webifysolutions.com</email> > <url>http://priori:9090/display/~mperham</url> > <timezone>-6</timezone> > </developer> > </developerManagement> > foo's pom.xml: > <developers> > <developer> > <id>mperham</id> > <roles> > <role>Owner</role> > </roles> > </developer> > </developers> > Our management wants to have one or two clear-cut owners for each module and > we would like to use maven to document those owners but the current impl is > terribly redundant since developers are not inherited. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
