<commit_before>The nar-maven-plugin allows you to compile native code (C++, C and
Fortran) on a number of different architectures (Linux, Windows, MacOSX,
Solaris, ...) and with a number of different compilers/linkers (g++,
Microsoft Visual C++, CC, ...) The output produced is wrapped up in
Native ARchive files (.nar) some of which are machine independent
(-noarch), while others are machine specific and thus depend on a
combination of machine architecture(A), operating-system(O) and
linker(L) identified as AOL. These nar files can be installed in the
local maven repository and deployed to a standard maven (web) server,
using the standard maven-install-plugin and maven-deploy-plugin.

FAQ
---
**Q:**
Is this repository (https://github.com/maven-nar/maven-nar-plugin) the official
home of the NAR plugin?

**A:**
Yes. [@duns](https://github.com/duns), the original author, [donated the
plugin](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/201210.mbox/%3C67C29597-AFA3-4562-96B6-921481793AA5%40gmail.com%3E)
(with [Sonatype's
approval](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/201210.mbox/%3C4DFF8AA4-A2DC-440B-9A59-0D94C18E73D4@tesla.io%3E))
to the community, since he no longer has time to maintain it.

**Q:**
Is the NAR project being actively maintained?

**A:**
Yes, it is now. It was rather dormant for the past few years, but now has at
least two active maintainers ([@ctrueden](https://github.com/ctrueden) and
[@dscho](https://github.com/dscho)), with [a few
others](https://github.com/maven-nar?tab=members) participating in the
development as well.

**Q:**
Why was the plugin renamed to `nar-maven-plugin`?

**A:**
To comply with the permitted usages of the Maven trademark. [According to the
Apache Project Management
Committee](http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.maven.dev#query:list%3Aorg.apache.maven.dev+page:1+mid:cmqxvj6ddshmnzwr+state:results):
<blockquote>The pmc is permitting persons who develop plugins for maven to use
the mark maven in their plugin name provided the name and its usage meets
certain criteria, amongst which is the "\_\_\_-maven-plugin" naming
scheme.</blockquote>
The NAR plugin was previously named `maven-nar-plugin` because it was slated
for adoption as an official Maven plugin, but that never happened. So the
`artifactId` has been changed to `nar-maven-plugin`. (The `groupId` will need
to change as well, but that is still pending.)

**Q:**
Where is the official forum/list?

**A:**
The [maven-nar Google group](https://groups.google.com/group/maven-nar).

**Q:**
Where is the official issue tracker?

**A:**
[GitHub Issues](https://github.com/maven-nar/maven-nar-plugin/issues). There
was a [category for NAR in the Sonatype
JIRA](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NAR), which was active until May 2013,
but it has apparently been deleted, so we unfortunately cannot migrate those
issues to GitHub. If you had filed an issue there which is still relevant to
the latest `master` branch, please file a new GitHub issue for it. Thanks!

**Q:**
When do you expect the 3.0.0 release? Will it be deployed to Central?

**A:**
Yes, we plan to deploy to Central, but we have no set timeline for a release.
If it is something you need urgently, please write to the list about it. All of
the current NAR maintainers have day jobs, and so have limited time to spend on
NAR. So this project is largely driven by A) submitted pull requests; B) the
needs of the maintainers; and C) community complaints. ;-)
