dist properties

[Felipe Leme <ma...@felipeal.net>]

Hi all,

Are the maven.dist.tar.executable and maven.dist.gunzip.executable 
properties still in use? I couldn't find any reference to these 
properties on maven-plugins, except on dist itself, where they are 
defined/described:

$ grep maven.dist */*.* */*/*.*|grep executable
dist/plugin.properties:maven.dist.tar.executable=tar
dist/plugin.properties:maven.dist.gunzip.executable=gunzip
dist/xdocs/changes.xml:        <code>maven.dist.tar.executable</code>and
dist/xdocs/changes.xml:        
<code>maven.dist.gunzip.executable</code>for spec
ifying the remote executables for these functions
dist/xdocs/properties.xml:          <td>maven.dist.tar.executable</td>
dist/xdocs/properties.xml:          <td>maven.dist.gunzip.executable</td>

Looks like they were created by 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPDIST-2, when <deploy:artifact> used 
the siteCommand attribute, which is not the case anymore (see diff below).

If that's the case, I think we should remove these properties, otherwise 
it could cause confusion (I wish I could open a new Jira issue for that :-)
