Hi, after finding myself to do this again and again for projects, I came to the following idea: How about a special maven-asf-plugin that simplifies Apache projects (in particular, may be Maven itself)? Things this plugin could do:
- Provide resources, in particular the latest LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files. (Note that this would enable to remove them from the subversion repositories.) - Make sure that these LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt are being added to jar, war, ... files. - Verify that all source files are carrying the ASL headers (using RAT). - Replace old ASL headers with current. The most important point that I see is that such a plugin would be able to handle changes in the ASF policy. (In my few years as an Apache committer that happended two times, each time causing a lot of work and confusion.) Does such a thing already exist? Other thoughts? Thanks, Jochen -- My wife Mary and I have been married for forty-seven years and not once have we had an argument serious enough to consider divorce; murder, yes, but divorce, never.
