Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Portals Pluto Maven Archetypes 3.0.0

Hi Woonsan,

I don't think that I have the administrative privileges to fix the staging repository visibility problem you encountered.

But thank you for your careful observations. Regarding the licensing, the Apache 2.0 License is specified in the pom.xml descriptor of each archetype:

          <license>
              <name>Apache License, Version 2.0</name>
              <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0</url>
          </license>

Also, the archetype JAR artifacts contain the text of the Apache 2.0 License in the META-INF/LICENSE file.

The reason why license "headers" are not present in files like HelloWorldPortlet.java is because archetype files are essentially templates that will be used by the "mvn archetype:generate" command to create a new project. The developer would then be free to apply whatever license they want to their newly generated portlet project.

Regarding log4j, I would be happy to migrate to the SLF4J API in a future dot release.

Please let me know whether or not I have addressed your concerns to your satisfaction.


Best Regards,

Neil
