Hi devs,
The idea is to have the same version and same release for everything related to commons.
Rationale:
* Stop the spread of a git repos (see
https://github.com/xwiki).
* Make it even easier to release. Only one command to release the whole xwiki-commons
* No need for git modules (svn externals previously)
The proposal is:
xwiki-commons/ (git repo)
|_ xwiki-commons-pom/
|_ xwiki-commons-tools/
|_ xwiki-commons-core/
|_ pom.xml
Details:
* xwiki-commons/pom.xml contains everything that's currently in
xwiki-commons-pom/pom.xml *except* the parts related to the tools (license and
verification)
* xwiki-commons/pom.xml has an artifact id of "xwiki-commons"
* xwiki-commons/xwiki-commons-pom/pom.xml has xwiki-commons/pom.xml as parent and adds the
parts related to the tools (license and verification)
* xwiki-commons/xwiki-commons-pom/pom.xml has an artifact id of
"xwiki-commons-pom"
* xwiki-commons/xwiki-commons-tools/pom.xml uses xwiki-commons/pom.xml as parent
* all other git repos uses "xwiki-commons-pom" as their parent
Note that for JIRA we would have 3 jira projects to make it easy for users (because jira
doesn't allow nested components):
* XWiki Commons POM
* XWiki Commons Tools
* XWiki Commons Core
Note that if we agree we would do the same for xwiki-platform (ie move platform tools in
xwiki-platform).
Here's my +1
Thanks
