Hi,

  If still open, I'm interested to help on this part.

 Can it be a maven plugin with html report (A bit overkill maybe but scripts
on windows are annoying)   ? 
 
Where should the tool be located in the scm tree (to facilitate patch
creation) ?

 Regards,

Eric

I just did some checks in our distribution area [1] and found a good number
of missing releases In addition to asking committers to remember our
procedure [2] (and ask for PMC help if necessary) , I just thought it would
be good to have a little tool to check against latest artifact releases:
with a little config file giving groupId:artifactId and directory in dist,
it could check if latest version from central metadata [3] is actually
published in dist and warn if not.

This is a first step, since a lot more help can be added later, I have a
good number of ideas (download the new release, propose svn commands to
remove old releases and add new ones, check consistency with site, ...)

But I don't want to code it right now and prefer concentrate working on
maven- site-plugin, dependency:tree and so on related le future Maven
version.

I thought this could be a good opportunity for someone to do somthing
without having to learn too much on existing code.

Is there anybody interested?

Regards,

Hervé
