RPM Factory Plugin for RPMing the Maven Repository

[Ole Ersoy <ol...@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys,

I finished up an RPM Factory Plugin recently (At least the first pass)
and it can be found here in case anyone is interested:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/sandbox/oersoy/rpm.factory.all

There is a eclipse documentation plugin guide for installing and using here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/sandbox/oersoy/guides/rpm.factory.user.guide

Just drop it into the eclipse plugins folder, and open eclipse help.  
You will find a RPM Factory User Guide book.

The motivation behind this plugin is to create a RPM mirror of the 
entire maven repository,
such that servers and other applications can be packaged as a "Minimal" 
rpm, and pull it's dependencies
from the RPM mirror, the same way Maven builds source their dependencies 
from the Maven repository.

I plan on adding a capability for also inserting OSGi manifests prior to 
packaging each jar artifact,
so that that the jars packaged are also OSGi compliant.

Cheers,
- Ole
