[ANN] webstart-maven-plugin-1.0-beta-2 Released

[Tony Chemit <ch...@codelutin.com>]

Hi,

The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the
webstart-maven-plugin version 1.0-beta-2. 

The Webstart Maven Plugin generates application bundles that can be
deployed via Web Start. The plugin can be used to prepare standalone
Web Start applications or Web Start applications bundled in WAR files
(with or without Sun's Download Servlet). It handles the generation of
JNLP files and optional version.xml files, using Velocity templates. It
also handles the selection and preparation of the dependencies,
performing signing, unsigning and Pack200 compression when required.

Some links :

Documentation: http://mojo.codehaus.org/webstart
JIRA: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWEBSTART
svn:  https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/tags/webstart-1.0-beta-2

To get this update, simply specify the version in your project's plugin
configuration: 

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.webstart</groupId>
        <artifactId>webstart</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-beta-2</version>
</plugin>

Some configuration may have changed since 1.0-beta-1, especially
concerning the codebase of generated jnlp components files (and the
report).

Please checkout this in your configuration if something is wrong before
all.
