[ANN] Apache Source-Release Assembly Descriptor 1.0.2 Released

[Benjamin Bentmann <be...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Source-Release Assembly Descriptor, version 1.0.2.

This is a standardized assembly descriptor for use in the
maven-assembly-plugin. Source-release artifacts are archives which
contain the full project structure (sources only, no build output) that
are the subject of an ASF release vote.

The new version of the descriptor fixes the erroneous exclusion of some
file types like IDE files from the source archive even if those files 
are located in the src/ directory tree of a project, i.e. denote actual 
project sources (e.g. required for unit testing).

This new descriptor will eventually be incorporated into the Apache 
Parent POM. If you want to try out the source-release descriptor in the 
meantime, you can include a configuration like the following:

<build>
   <plugins>
     <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>2.2-beta-4</version>

       <dependencies>
         <dependency>
           <groupId>org.apache.apache.resources</groupId>

<artifactId>apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor</artifactId>
           <version>1.0.2</version>
         </dependency>
         <dependency>
           <!-- NOTE: The fix for PLXUTILS-120 is crucial for the new
assembly descriptor -->
           <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
           <artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId>
           <version>2.0.1</version>
         </dependency>
       </dependencies>

       <executions>
         <execution>
           <id>source-release</id>
           <phase>package</phase>
           <goals>
             <goal>single</goal>
           </goals>
           <configuration>
             <descriptorRefs>
               <descriptorRef>source-release</descriptorRef>
             </descriptorRefs>
             <tarLongFileMode>gnu</tarLongFileMode>
             <runOnlyAtExecutionRoot>true</runOnlyAtExecutionRoot>
           </configuration>
         </execution>
       </executions>
     </plugin>
   </plugins>
</build>

Enjoy,

The Maven Team
