Major Description
This is a new feature request.
ArtifactRank (the Archiva version of Googles PageRank)
I'd like to see some badging of the health of the artifact, encourage the proper creation of artifacts this way. We can provide a graphic on the artifact page (and even the artifact search results and browse screens). This rank can also be used to increase the importance of hits on the search results.
100% = Gold Award for excellence.
70% to 99% = Green Award (Good)
40% to 69% = Yellow Award (Warning)
0% to 39% = Red Badge (Warning++)
- How many other projects use the artifact. (junit would be highly ranked)
- License is fully defined.
- License file exists in the artifact archive.
- URL is defined.
- At least 1 contact point is defined. (Developer email address or mailing list)
- A POM is defined.
- Checksums are defined.
- The maven pom manifest information exists.
- All dependencies exist in the repository too.
- All parent poms exist in the repository too.
- All plugins used exist in the repository too.
- If the artifact contains java ...
- All of the *.class files are within the same groupId that is defined in the POM.
This is to indicate bad deployment, or bad - All of the declared imports have an associated dependency defined.
- The manifest.mf file contains the version specified.
- The source.jar exists.
- The javadoc.jar exists.
- All of the *.class files are within the same groupId that is defined in the POM.
This list of checks can feed the reporting too.
And the list of checks should be able to be extended / enhanced by administrators of Archiva installs too.
