changes have been battle tested with DNA/Loom.
Mauro's comments are attached for posterity:
---
attached is a first crack that incorporates the release functionality
currently in DNA and Loom distribution modules.
Two types of distributions:
- bin: this requires user customisation - uses dependency properties to
assign a category to a dependency and via a property
Eg, maven.release.distribution.categories=shared:lib,tools:tools/lib
tells it to place any "shared" dependency in path lib/ and
"tools" dependendency in tools/lib.
User can postGoal release:setup-distribution-bin to add any further
content to distribution.
- src: uses SCM plugin out of a box :-) works quite well IMO.
distribution artifact names are customisable but default to
${maven.final.name}-[bin|src].[tar.gz|zip]
Patch has documentation updated - so feel free to browse,
and let me if too scarse or patch.
If you create an issue in jira I can also attach the patch to it.
(I'm not sure If I can create the issue myself on maven project)
Further work would include incorporating the wrapper exes for the
release,�� but perhaps that's better done via a separate plugin.
