[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Adding a Contrib top level project in commons

Hi devs, We need to provide a contrib top level POM for extension contributors. ATM we recommend to extend the commons top level pom on http://contrib.xwiki.orgbut it's a bad idea because contributors forget to override some pom.xml elements (such as the <developers> section) and thus the published extensions end up with wrong information (such as wrong author: "XWiki Development Team"). The reason to put it in commons: * We will have dependencyManagement in it and thus it needs to be in sync with the commons version. It'll have the same version as commons top level pom version. * Easy for us since it'll be released at the same time as commons * Easy for extension authors to choose the top level contrib version they need: they'll pick the one corresponding to the xwiki version they want to depend on Note that since some extensions may want to depend on versions of XWiki older than 5.3 we can deploy this contrib pom also for older versions using mvn deploy:deploy-file WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
