[ANNOUNCE] Maven Tomcat Deployment Plugin

[Nathan Coast <na...@codeczar.com>]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce a new Maven plugin to deploy web applications 
within Tomcat.

http://www.codeczar.com/products/tomcat

This plugin deploys web-applications built with maven into Tomcat using 
the catalina-ant tasks which come with tomcat distributions.

Cheers
Nathan

hey Brian,

agreed about it not being a pissing contest :)  There's no point having 
two parallel streams of work for the same end.

I wrote this plugin about a year ago and sent it to dev where it 
promptly got lost in the ether. I've been meaning (for about the last 
year) to get the plugin up on a website somewhere, which after much 
procrastinating I've eventually got round to doing.

The intention is to have the work released under an "APL-style" license

http://www.codeczar.com/products/tomcat/license.html

(I copied the APL and relaced the words "Apache Software Foundation" 
with codeczar.)

Do I also need to include the APL license somewhere as the catalina-ant 
jar is available on the site?

I'll have a look at your stuff today and see how we can combine things 
for the greater good.

cheers
Nathan

You mean like this one?
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/TomcatPlugin

That's been knocking around in various formats since last December 
(posted to the -dev list back then). The version above doesn't depend on 
the catalina ant jar (like my previous versions, and like yours does) 
because, as you mention, it isnt in ibiblio.

Still, this isnt a pissing contest, it would be worth trying to get the 
best from both.
- your plugin supports more properties (I'm not sure how useful it is to 
supply the manager webapp URL in pieces, but certainly being able to 
override the directories/paths involved is a good thing.)
- mine supports the use of a tomcat-context.xml for adding in JNDI 
entries and the like.
- yours has a better website :)
- mine can be installed without extra jars.

There was also some discussion of 'in-place' webapp development on the 
list a couple of weeks ago, I think those goals could be usefully added.

I'm guessing your stuff is ASL (I havent downloaded it). Mine has to be, 
because it incorporates some code from the catalina ant tasks (not a 
huge amount, but nevertheless, its ASL-licensed). Assuming thats the 
case, feel free to loot the code.

Plugin for Checking code out of CVS

[Eric Pugh <ep...@upstate.com>]

Hi,

Has anyone written a plugin that checks code out of CVS?  I want to give it
a repository and module and get back my code..  I am assuming something
similar to how the maven cvs reports work..

Eric
