Description

Current Situation

Currently, code that handles AssemblyInfo.cs(.vb) is cluttered all over the project.

1. AbstractCompilerMojo (compile phase) patches AssemblyInfo-versions for **/AssemblyInfo(.cs|.vb)
2. AssemblyInfoGeneratorMojo (generate-sources phase) uses AssemblyInfo + AssemblyInfoMarshaller to generate new AssemblyInfos

The AssemblyInfoMarshaller does have a read implementation, but it's half-baked.

Solution

I think everything should be unified according to these rules:

• Make the name of AssemblyInfo and COPYRIGHT configurable (includes NPANDAY-406)
• generate-sources: If no AssemblyInfo found, generate one to target. Else copy the existing one.
  • Never change the original AssemblyInfo file
  • Make sure, AssemblyInfo file is not overridden by default compiler copy
• process-sources: Read the AssemblyInfo (Marshaller.unmarshal), patch it, and write it back using marshal-Method.
  • Expose all attributes to the pom (copyright, description, ...)
  • Allow custom assemblyinfo attributes to be specified in the pom
