Cactus Codebase Intellectual Property (IP) Clearance Status
Description
Cactus is an existing project at Jakarta. It was tempoarily outside the ASF repositiries, but on the sourceforge where we tested the new maven build system:
- maven2 build system: A bunch of pom.xml's that automate the cactus build process.
- maven2 plugin: Initial implementation of the "cactify" and "webxmlmerge" mojos.
- cactus-site: A number of xdoc xml's that are transformed to html's using maven2.
The contributed code can be found at https://mamouth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mamouth/Cactus/ and will be completely ported back to the current Jakarta Cactus codebase.
