commons-parent maven pom highly broken?
Hi!
I've never seen any other ASF project where it is such a torture to release.
This is partly because the quality level is really high, but a big part of it is that we don't have a mature parent pom.
I have no clue why we don't just use the common apache parent pom. I've NEVER experienced such issues like missing NOTICE and LICENSE with it. It's really much more solid than our own one.
LieGrue,

Hello,
I've released [lang] a couple of times and have not experienced such
issues. Maybe we can meet in IRC and try to sort out the things together?

Not sure what you are referring to there, but if it was my comments
about ASF pom bugs, I did file bugs, but as I recall, nothing happened
for over a year.

That's all well and good, but if the output is not correct (as it was
not) then that is not helpful.

As I already wrote, there is a lot of common Commons stuff that needs
to go somewhere.
It cannot go in the ASF pom.
Then there are utility optional profiles:
- jacoco
- cobertura
- java-1.x - allows build/test with different Java from default used
to run Maven
- test-deploy
- release-notes
Of course all of these could be deployed in component poms on an
as-needed basis.
But that rather goes against the spirit of re-usable code.

That is not true of Commons.
Which is probably why there are some issues with such components.

Are you sure?
Have you checked that all the generated artifacts are complete?
The Commons Parent pom is intended to abstract common functions which
would otherwise be needed in all Commons components.
If there are aspects of it that are not working, file JIRAs that
clearly state what the problem is:
- what you tried
- what happened
- what you expected to happen

This is totally non-ASF style. Just use the standard stuff like every other ASF project and you are again done.

The rule is straight forward. If you provide your own one then it will be used. If not, then a standard one will be packaged.

Well, most of todays projects are multi-module ones. And this works perfectly fine with the ASF parent pom.

No idea what you mean here - if you think there is a bug, file a JIRA issue.

At least some skip should be removed since it breaks apache parent behavior.

Sorry, but I don't think that is at all relevant.
Releasing is tedious because Maven does not really support non-Maven
release directories (i.e. www.apache.org/dist/commons) so work-rounds
are needed.
This is true whatever the parent pom is used.
It's partly also that Maven does some things well, but when
adjustments are needed, it can be all but impossible to work out how
to coax it to do what's needed.

Until very recently the ASF parent pom was broken, and with no sign of
any fixes.
For example, it did not allow override of the compiler plugin version,
and there were a few other issues with it.
There are stil issues with LICENSE and NOTICE, because the
automatically created ones are not always correct.
I'm not sure it creates the appropriate source and javadoc jars either.
And it does not create decent manifests.
The Commons Pom includes a lot of common setup that would otherwise
have to be added to each component's parent pom.
That is not an efficient way of proceeding.
There are various other additional optional features in the Commons
pom which are useful for testing.
I think the CP pom works fine for single module projects.
I'm not sure about multimodule projects, but is the ASF pom any better?
Rather than raise unsubstantiated criticisms of the CP pom, file bugs
for any problems and/or try fixing them.
