[ANN] Maven plugin for Keel 1.2.13 and tool-config 3.3 released

I've included the release announcement for tool-config 3.3 here as well,
as 1.2.13 of the plugin now uses tool-config 3.3.

The keel team is pleased to announce the Maven plugin for Keel 1.2.13
release! 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Use 3.3 of tool-config (supports "required" tag), performance
enhancements 
o Added dependencies and goal to start instrumentation client 
o Added keel:version goal to display version of plugin in output 

  Fixed bugs:

o Update to use 3.2.3 of tool-maven 
o Overwrite of config files provided by Keel apps/services can be done
by 
  placing custom copies in $project/conf/overwrite/$service/conf/client
or 
  $project/conf/overwrite/$service/conf/server 
o Configuration from conf/client and conf/server in project directory is
also 
  merged now 
o Added experimental support for Axis, Cocoon, Maverick, Velocity,
Webwork2. 
  Only Struts officially supported still. 
o Fixed copying of Struts message resources 
o Removed test:compile from jar pregoal...was compiling tests a second
time 
o Use 3.2.2 of tool-maven, which fixes problem with keel:maven not
generating 
  project.xml if project.bak already exists (on Windows) 
o Use 3.2.1 of tool-config, which now correctly reports a configuration 
  error, instead of the build failing with an exception 
o Use 3.2.1 of keel-build, with updated examples, and a much trimmed
size 
  (about 132K compared to almost 2M before)  

To automatically install the plugin, type the following on a single
line:

maven plugin:download 
  -DgroupId=keel 
  -DartifactId=maven-keel-plugin
  -Dversion=1.2.13

The keel team is pleased to announce the Keel Config Tool 3.3 release! 

This project provides a tool used by Keel to extract configuration for 
services from JAR files, merge multiple configurations together, and
perform 
other manipulations required to produce the finished configuration for a
project. 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Performance enhancements to uberjar building process by means of
buffering. 
o Add feature to support a "required" tag in system.xconf. This tag can
be 
  used to indicate inter-module dependencies - e.g. if app-register
requires 
  an authentication service implementation, you can add a "required" tag
in 
  app-register's system.xconf with the value "svc-authentication-.*". At
  configuration merge time, if no module matching the name 
  "svc-authentication-.*" is present, a configuration error is thrown.
This 
  prevents building an application where essential services have no 
  implementation selected.  

Have fun!
