Well this part should actually be a "mojo" ... that's sort of part of a complete plugin. What I could do, would be to sort of start off with creating this mojo (Without placing the code in the public Apache SVN). As soon as Adobe gives the ok, we would add it there.
As it is possible to fragment a plugin into multiple jars, even if Adobe requested the mojo to remain closed source, we could deploy the mojos jar in a public repo and the user wouldn't see a difference. What do the others here in the list think about this? Would this be a solution that you and Apache could live with? (Hopefully people are still reading this thread even if there are quite a lot of "AW's" in the title ;-) ) Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29.

I just got tentative approval from legal, but still need approval from runtime product management. One important thing, legal may want you to develop this plug-in without checking it into any public source code repository until they have a chance to see it work. They may change their minds later and let us develop the plug-in in the open, but that's their position for now. I guess you'd give me the plug-in and I would get Maven working on my computer and screen-share with them. So, I think you can get started on this, but don't check in into Apache SVN or GitHub just yet.
