Mark Struberg commented on MSANDBOX-51:
---------------------------------------
Yes, there are classes which are currently in Ant and in commons and mostly
maintained by the same committers.
What I wanted to make clear is that quite a lot of the plexus-utils project is
just a copy (+singular modifications) of ASF internal projects. So there is not
much IP issue with those classes.
> Rewrite Plexus Utils classes at the ASF from scratch
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSANDBOX-51
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSANDBOX-51
> Project: Maven 2.x Sandbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mark Struberg
>
> plexus-utils are 85% written by ASF committers, but we still don't have a IP
> cleared history.
> For cleaning this up we aim to rewrite those classes from scratch in ASF
> maven sandbox.
> The strategy is the following:
> 1. create unit tests for the existing plexus classes
> 2. create a new implementation from scratch
> 3. the new implementation must be a binary API compatible drop-in replacement
