[ANNOUNCE] Apache Buildr 1.5.8 released

[Peter Donald <pe...@realityforge.org>]

Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including
support
for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools.  We
wanted
something that's simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it
what
to do, and it takes care of the rest.  But also something we can easily
extend
for those one-off tasks, with a language that's a joy to use.


New in this release:

  * Fixed:  Changed references to `https://repo1.maven.org/maven2` to use
https where possible.
  * Change: Use the `zapwhite` gem to manage file whitespace within
repository.
  * Fixed:  Replace references to long removed `
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/` repository with
            `https://repo1.maven.org/maven2`.
  * Fixed:  Ensure pom files used in tests use https when referring to
maven repositories.
  * Added:  Add support for downloading external annotations and attaching
them to IntelliJ IDEA module dependencies.
  * Added:  Detect external annotations in the local project and add them
to the generated IntelliJ IDEA
            module when generating. The default location is
`src/main/annotations` but other locations
            can be specified by modifying the
`project.iml.annotation_paths` property.
  * Fixed:  Explicitly specify the `:sourcepath` parameter for javadoc
tool. This enables additional parameters
            such as `-packagenames` and `-subpackages` to be passed to the
underling tool.
  * Fixed:  Stop generating poms with the parent POM
`org.sonatype.oss:oss-parent:8`. The las update was a long time
            ago (i.e. 2012) and it is no longer maintained. It was also
deprecated several years ago and is not
            guaranteed to work in modern Maven deployments.
