Proposition 8 adds a new amendment to the California Constitution which says, "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California". Before it passed, same-sex marriage was a constitutionally-protected right in California; a majority of the justices of the California Supreme Court affirmed this understanding of the constitution in May 2008.
The campaign over Proposition 8 was fiercely contested. In the aftermath of the vote, an intense focus on Proposition 8 continued with protests around the country and litigation focusing on many aspects of the initiative and campaign finance. Three lawsuits seeking to invalidate Proposition 8 were filed soon after the election; on November 19, the California Supreme Court announced it would consider these lawsuits. On May 26, 2009, the California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the amendment.[2][3][4][5][6]
Hearings on a federal lawsuit that claims that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution begin on January 11, 2009.[7]

Results according to the California Secretary of State[8]
California first explicitly defined marriage as a state between a man and woman in 1977.[9] That year, the California State Legislature passed a law that said that marriage is a "personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman". While no previous California legislation contained explicit language regarding sex or gender, California law prior to 1959 explicitly prohibited marriage between people of different races. Many other states prohibited interracial marriage until 1967, when the United States Supreme Court ruled this unconstitutional, in the case Loving v. Virginia. [10]
In 2000, voters passed ballot initiative Proposition 22 with a margin of 61%, which changed California Family Code to formally define marriage in California between a man and a woman. Prop. 22 was a statutory change via the initiative process, not a constitutional change via the initiative process.
In 2004, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom performed same-sex marriages in his city, which were subsequently judicially annulled. This case, and some others, eventually led to a decision announced on May 15, 2008 of the California Supreme Court, which by a 4-3 vote struck down Proposition 22.[11]
Prior to the May 2008 state supreme court decision, opponents of same-sex marriage had already begun their efforts to qualify Prop. 8 for the ballot. Their reasoning at the time was that since Prop. 22 was only a statute, it was subject to judicial review in a way that an amendment to the constitution would not be.[12],[13],[14]
When supporters of Proposition 8 submitted their measure to the California Secretary of State in 2007 for permission to circulate, the ballot title that was given to it was the "California Marriage Protection Act." At that time, Proposition 22 was the governing law in the state with regard to gay marriage and the term "marriage protection" appears to have meant something like "adding additional protection to the idea of one man-one woman marriage by enshrining it in the constitution, not just as a statute". However, between the time that Prop. 8 got its original permission-to-circulate ballot title, and the time they turned in their signatures and became ballot certified, Prop. 22 no longer had any governing force.[15] After the proposition was certified for the ballot, the title and summary were revised by Attorney General Jerry Brown to more "accurately reflect the measure." (See Lawsuits, California Proposition 8 (2008)).
After the election
Calif. Justices Weigh Gay Marriage Ban
- For main article, see Lawsuits, California Proposition 8 (2008).
- On May 26, 2009, the California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Proposition 8. A central issue the state court considered were whether Proposition 8 is a state constitutional amendment, which can be passed by initiative, or a constitutional revision, which can't. The court upheld the approximately 18,000 same-sex marriages that took place in the state during the time that such marriages were deemed legal.
- In August 2009, federal judge Vaughn Walker set January 11, 2010 as the date when he will open a federal trial to decide whether or not Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution.[7]
Move to repeal
- Main article: California Repeal of Proposition 8 (2010)
A measure supporting the repeal of Proposition 8 was introduced on the second day of the 2009-2010 legislative session. The repeal movement sponsored by Equality California and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) introduced measures that suggest Proposition 8 is an improper revision of the California State Constitution.[16],[17]
When the legislative session convened in January, Kevin De Leon introduced Assembly Bill 103, that would allow two people, including same-sex couples, who co-own a home to avoid having their property tax reassessed and raised when one dies. Sen. Mark Leno planned to re-introduce legislation that would designate each May 22 as Harvey Milk Day; a similar bill passed through the last legislative session but was vetoed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.[18]
Rallies protesting Prop. 8
Prop 8 protect near Mormon Temple, November 6
In the first days after the vote on November 4, protests and rallies were held in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Palm Springs, and San Francisco. Several different protests have taken place in front of the Mormon temple in Los Angeles. The weekend of November 15-16, rallies and gatherings protesting Proposition 8 were held in many states around the country.[19]
Impact on married couples
Between June 15, 2008 and November 4, somewhere between 15,000-20,000 same-sex marriages took place in California. It was widely assumed that these marriages would remain valid after the victory of Proposition 8, since laws are rarely retroactive.[20] In its May 2009 ruling, the California Supreme Court upheld the validity of these marriages.
Criticism of campaign management
One theme sounded in the weeks following the November election was discontent among those who opposed Prop 8 with how the anti-Prop 8 campaign was run. At the "Equality Summit 09", an event held in Los Angeles by same-sex marriage supporters on January 24 to strategize for future political success, discussion turned to how the campaign was conducted.
Specific criticisms were:
- The "No on 8" campaign ignored the gay and lesbian people behind the ballot measure, instead relying on professional consultants.
- Some accused the campaign of "wasting money, ignoring grassroots volunteers, and refusing to target African Americans, Latinos and people outside the state's urban centers."
- When someone suggested that the crowd at the event recognize that the leaders of the "No on 8" capaign did the best they could, half the crowd remained silent and seated, while the other half stood and cheered.[21]
The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian newsmagazine, revealed after the November vote that key campaign leaders took summer vacations, which has led to criticisms. L.A. Gay & Lesbian head Lorri Jean, a key staffer, took a month-long vacation. Critic Michael Petrelis posted her salary on his blog in late November and said she was overpaid.[22]
Catholic Church tax assessment
The Archdiocese of San Francisco was ordered to pay $15 million to the City of San Francisco in January 2009, on the grounds that property transfers among various Catholic organizations should be regarded as tax-generating business transactions. The Archdiocese objected, saying that similar internal transfers of assets have not resulted in other denominations being taxed. Some onlookers, such as Randy Thomassen of the Campaign of Children and Families, claimed that the $15 million bill was levied in retaliation for the church's support of Proposition 8.[23]
Expensive campaign
The campaign over Proposition 8 attracted very significant financial donations on both sides; by the time of the vote, over $70 million had been spent on the issue. Checks in the $1 million range were written to both campaigns from wealthy backers, and the campaigns also each had many tens of thousands of small donors. Of the 153 ballot measures on state ballots around the country, Prop 8 was the most expensive. It is also more expensive by far than any previous electoral contest over same-sex marriage.[24],[25],[26],[27],[28],[29],[30],[31]
Donors supporting Prop. 8
Some of the donors supporting Prop 8 were:
One group that opposed Proposition 8 focused attention on the contributions to the pro-Proposition 8 campaign from individuals who belong to the Mormon church. Contributions from Mormons were said to amount to between 33%-40% of the total amount raised in support of Proposition 8.[36]
Donors opposing Prop. 8
Some of the donors to the No on 8 campaign included:
"Eight Maps"
A website called eight maps was launched by anonymous webmasters in January 2009. It takes the names and ZIP codes of people who donated to the "Yes on 8" campaign and overlays the data on a Google map. Visitors to the website can view markers that give a contributor's name, approximate location, amount donated and, if the donor listed it, employer.
Testimony from donors to "Yes on 8" says that as a result, they have received death threats and envelopes containing a powdery white substance, according to a February 7, 2009 story in the New York Times.[46]
Chris Jay Hoofnagle, a senior fellow at the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology at the University of California, said, "These are very small donations given by individuals, and now they are subject to harassment that ultimately makes them less able to engage in democratic decision making."
Supporters of the amendment
Dennis Hollingsworth, Gail J. Knight, Martin F. Gutierrez, Hak-Shing William Tam, and Mark A. Jansson filed the wording for the initiative with the Secretary of State. The National Organization for Marriage and Focus on the Family are national organizations that support the initiative and are helping to fund it.[47]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormons") supported efforts to pass the measure; in June, Mormon church leaders made an appeal to members of the church by letter--asking them to support it with their time and money. In October, through a private sattelite broadcast to church buildings, members were encouraged, on their own time, to man phone banks, distribute campaign materials, blog, sent text messages, and intensifie voter registration efforts.[48],[49] The Mormon faithful, as has been widely noted, are credited with donating millions of dollars as private citizens to the passage of Proposition 8, but the church itself did not make any donations outside of some legally reimbursable "in-kind" expenses amounting to $2,078.97[50].
The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, the largest Orthodox umbrella group nationally, said in late August it would support the passage of Prop. 8.[51]
Well-known evangelical minister Rick Warren endorsed Proposition 8 in late October, e-mailing a statement to his 30,000 members that said, "There is no doubt where we should stand on this issue." In December, Barack Obama announced that he was choosing Warren to give the invocation at Obama's inauguration. Obama supporters who support same-sex marriage spoke out against this decision. Protestors gathered outside Warren's Saddleback Church the weekend before Obama's inauguration, one holding a sign that read "Purpose Driven Bigots", with a swastika on the reverse.[52],[53],[54]
Arguments in favor of Prop. 8
Notable arguments in favor of Prop. 8 include:
- It protects the free expression of religion, as supporters of Proposition 8 were worried that Gay Rights advocates were not affording them the same courtesy--to live and believe as they please--as the Gay and Lesbian community was/is demanding.[55][56]
- Supporters of Proposition 8 says that their support of Proposition 8 is not based on an attack on the gay lifestyle, but is rather their effort to preserve what they hold as core values surrounding a vision of traditional marriage.
- "It overturns the decision of four activist Supreme Court judges in ruling unconstitutional a ballot initiative previously approved by the people."
- "It protects our children from being taught in public schools that "same-sex marriage" is as legitimate as marriage between two people of opposite genders."[57],[58]
- "Proposition 8 will protect religious universities, adoption providers, psychologists, doctors, and photographers from prosecution for denying services to same-sex couples for any reason, including their religious convictions." [59]
- See California Proposition 8 videos
Opposition to Proposition 8
Eight different organizations formally filed as opposition groups with the California Secretary of State. [60],[61],[62],[63], [64],[65],[66],[67],[68],[69]
Notable opposition groups included Let California Ring, Equality for All, Equality California, the Equality California Issues PAC and the Human Rights Campaign,[70]. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he believed that the amendment was "a waste of time." In an April 11 appearance before the Log Cabin Republicans, Schwarzenegger said, "I think we need a constitutional amendment so that foreign-born citizens can run for president, but not about gay marriage."[71]
Arguments against Prop. 8
Notable arguments against Prop. 8 included:
- "Our California Constitution--the law of our land---should guarantee the same freedoms and right to everyone. No one group should be singled out to be treated differently."
- "Equal protection under the law is the foundation of American society."
- "Traditional Marriage" is a misleading term. Various marriage traditions, since abolished, have included: only allowing members of the upper class or nobility to marry; having marriages arranged by families without the couple's consent; only allowing white people to marry; only allowing people of the same race to marry; and allowing one man to marry multiple women.
- Current statistics show roughly 50% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce. So-called "traditional marriage" is doing more to degrade the institutional of marriage than any expansion of marriage could ever do.
- Voter initiatives to amend the constitutional should not be taken lightly; using them to take away rights from one group could open the door to voter initiatives to take away other rights, including religious freedoms and civil rights.
- The institution of marriage conveys dignity and respect to the lifetime commitment that a couple makes. Proposition 8 would deny lesbian and gay couples the opportunity to that same dignity and respect.
- "The freedom to marry is fundamental to our society, just like the freedoms of religion and speech."
- When domestic partnerships are held out as an acceptable substitute for marriage, this is misleading. Domestic partnerships are not a substitute for marriage.[72] The doctrine of "separate but equal" has been failed throughout American history.

Celebrities who oppose Proposition 8 include:
Disputed impact on public education
Supporters of Prop. 8 say that unless it passes, gay marriage will be taught in public schools. This is the theme of a television ad in heavy rotation on California's airwaves, and the Associated Press is reporting on October 22 that the issue has emerged as the leading focus of the campaign.[78],[79]
Frank Schubert, Prop. 8's campaign manager emphasized this argument in September when a group of 1st grade students from the Creative Arts Charter School in San Francisco went on an excursion to see their lesbian teacher marry her partner in a wedding performed by Mayor Gavin Newsom, in an excursion that was organized by the students' parents (not the teacher or the school). This event energized the supporters of Prop. 8, with Mr. Schubert saying that the field trip proves that their concern has been valididated that unless Prop 8 is passed, gay marriage will be added to public school education. "We are already seeing that happen", he says.
Opponents of Proposition 8 responded to this theme being raised in the campaign by:
- Saying there is no mention of schools or curriculum in the language of the proposition; the proposition is about marriage rights, not public education.
- Statements from public education officials that this outcome is unlikely.
Subsequently, supporters of Prop. 8 in speeches and press releases asserted that what they believe will happen (and don't want to happen) is governed by California's Education Code (EC) 51933. This code is said by them to specify that while a school district is not required to provide comprehensive sexual health education, if it chooses to do so, it is required to comply with all of the code's requirements, one of which includes 'teach[ing] respect for marriage and committed relationships.' Prop 8 supporters then argue that according to a document, Sex Education in California Public Schools, 96 percent of California school districts currently provide comprehensive sexual health education. As a result, Prop. 8 supporters believe that 96 percent of the school districts will either teach about gay marriage in schools, or stop teaching comprehensive sexual health education. Prop. 8 supporters join to this their further assessment that school districts are unlikely to stop teaching comprehensive sexual education. [80]
Massachusetts lawsuit
Same-sex couples have been married since 2004 in Massachusetts. Subsequent to the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Court in favor of same-sex marriage, a teacher in Lexington, Massachusetts read a book, "King & King", to her second-grade students that includes a story line about two princes marrying.[81]
The parents of one of the children in that second grade objected, and filed a federal lawsuit against the school district which asserted, in part, that the motivation of the teacher who read the book was "for the express purpose of indoctrinating them into the concept that homosexuality and marriage between same-sex partners is moral."
The federal lawsuit was dismissed and in October 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of the lower court's dismissal.
Supporters of Prop. 8 are communicating about this Massachusetts case both to their supporters and to undecided voters in a new television ad that features the Massachusetts parents. Campaign materials indicate that they see the Massachusetts event as validating their claim that unless gay marriage is expressly forbidden in the California constitution, events similar to what happened in Massachusetts will happen in California.[82] Opponents of Prop. 8 point out that unlike Massachusetts' education code, California's gives parents the absolute right to opt their child out of any lessons related to family, health, or sexual education. According to a recent survey about 40 percent of public schools had "Improper parental notification policies." [83] Opponents argue that the Massachusetts case is not really relevant, while proponents point out that relevant or not, California courts have already ruled that parental rights "end at the schoolhouse" and there is no guarantee that they, as parents, will be informed about school policies.[84][85]
30-second ads not adequate
The Los Angeles Times argues that the truth about these questions "is slightly more complicated than can be captured in the 30-second television advertisements put out by both sides."
Reporter Jessica Garrison of that paper writes:
- "There is nothing in the state education code that requires schools to teach anything about marriage. Even the decision about whether to offer comprehensive sex education is left up to individual school districts."
- "What state law does require is that districts that offer sex education 'teach respect for marriage and committed relationships.'"
Hilary McLean, press secretary for Jack O'Connell, head of the California Department of Education, says that the Pro-8 ad is "unnecessarily and irresponsibly alarmist."[86]
Role of Prop 8 in presidential race
Shortly after Prop. 8 qualified for the fall ballot, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain aligned themselves on opposite sides of the issue, with Obama opposing and McCain supporting it. A reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle described this as "a move that puts gay rights front and center in the 2008 presidential campaign".[87],[88]
Obama's statement on the matter said that he opposes "the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution", while McCain told the group that worked to put the measure on the ballot that he agrees with their idea of recognizing "marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman."
Does it matter?
A burst of punditry in late July speculated that getting Proposition 8 on the ballot was part of an organized effort on the part of conservatives to give presidential candidate John McCain a leg up in November voting. A ballot initiative on which people have pronounced, strong opinions can have an effect on other races on the ballot, it is said, because:
- Some people who come to the polls to vote for a ballot initiative on which they have a strong opinion, and who otherwise would not have bothered to come out to vote, will stay and pull the lever in some other races.
- Candidates can tap into public sentiment that coalesces around much-talked-of ballot propositions in order to support their own campaign themes and messages.
- Supporters of a candidate who have maxed out on their legally-allowable campaign contribution limits to a candidate committee can donate much higher dollar amounts to ballot campaign committees, to the extent that they think this will help their favored candidate for one of the above two reasons, who would not otherwise particularly care about the ballot proposition itself.[89],[90],[91],[92]
Opponents of Proposition 8 told the New York Times in late September that there is a concern that high voter turn-out among black voters who come to the polls in California to vote for Obama could help the "Yes on 8" side if a significant percentage of those black voters then go on to cast a down-ballot vote in favor of Proposition 8.
This concern is based on the observation that higher percentages of black voters may be "traditionally conservative on issues involving homosexuality".[93]
Supporters of 8 say they are, in fact, banking on a high turnout in the November election among black and conservative Latino voters. Frank Shorter, co-campaign manager for the pro-8 effort, told the New York Times, "here's no question African-American and Latino voters are among our strongest supporters. And to the extent that they are motivated to get to the polls, whether by this issue or by Barack Obama, it helps us."
Anti-8 campaigners are responding to this situation--which Andrea Shorter calls a "Catch-22"--by recruiting black gay couples as spokespeople and reaching out to black pastors.[94]

Theories for poll movement
What explains late September polls showing a gain in support for Proposition 8? The main theory for this is the possible impact of an advertising push by the National Organization for Marriage that shows footage of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome saying same-sex marriage is here "whether you like it or not." Another ad refers to "activist judges" with regard to the 4-3 decision in May 2008 of the California Supreme Court in In re Marriage Cases which nullified Proposition 22.[109]
National pundit Andrew Sullivan has dubbed this the Newsom Effect.[110]
Asian-American sentiment
A poll done by the National Asian American Survey and released on October 15 found that 57% of likely Asian-American voters in the state are opposed to Proposition 8, 32% support it and 11% are undecided. Asian Americans represent approximately 14% of California's population.[111]
Who voted for Prop 8?
The Public Policy Institute of California released a poll in December 2008 to shed some light on who voted for Prop 8, especially in light of widespread claims that relatively heavy support among black voters is what pushed Prop 8 to victory. 2,003 voters were polled from November 5–16.[112],[113]
- On a stand-alone question, 47% were in favor of same-sex marriage, 48% were opposed and 5% were unsure.
- 85% of voters identifying themselves as evangelical or born-again Christians voted "yes".
- Of non-evangelical Christians polled, 42% voted yes.
- 77% of Republicans in the poll voted yes.
- 65% of Democrats voted no.
- 85% of John McCain supporters voted yes.
- 30% of Barack Obama voters voted yes.
- 61% of Latinos voted yes.
- 57% of Latinos, Asians, and blacks combined voted yes.
- 62% of those without a college degree voted yes.
- 74% of those who voted yes on Prop 8 considered the outcome of the vote to be "very important", while 59% of those who voted no attached the same level of importance to the outcome.[114]
Path to the ballot
694,354 valid signatures were required to qualify the measure for the ballot. The initiative's supporters announced on April 24 that they had collected and turned in for verification about 1.1 million signatures. In June, the California Secretary of State announced that the measure was qualified and would appear on the November ballot.[115]
The petition drive to qualify the measure for the ballot was conducted bythe petition management company Bader & Associates, owned by Tom and Joy Bader, at a cost of $882,900.[116]
A lawsuit filed by opponents to remove Proposition 8 from the ballot failed. See Lawsuits, California Proposition 8.
- For main article, see Boycotts related to California Proposition 8.
Boycotts were part of the campaign against Proposition 8. Once the measure passed, some supporters of same-sex marriage announced new boycotts and other actions against supporters of Propostion 8.
Specific boycott actions included:
- Publicizing donors.
- A boycott of Terry Caster.
- A boycott of Doug Manchester.
- A boycott of Bolthouse Farms.
- Boycotting Utah.
Ballot title and language lawsuits
- For main article, see Lawsuits, California Proposition 8 (2008).
In addition to a lawsuit seeking to strike Proposition 8 from the ballot, the measure was also at the center of a ballot title lawsuit and a lawsuit about what arguments could be included in the official voter's guide. Supporters of the measure lost their lawsuit seeking to have California Attorney General Jerry Brown use the ballot title under which the petition was originally circulated, prior to the California's May 2008 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Opponents of Proposition 8 partly lost and partly won a lawsuit seeking to have an argument about schoolchildren being taught gay marriage removed from the official ballot booklet.

Answered Questions (Index)
Previously answered questions can be found here.
Unanswered Questions
How do you copy a file from one directory to another just before a war is constructed?
The war plugin can be configured with additional resources as described in Adding and Filtering External Web Resources. The resource element is the same one that can be declared within the <build> section of your pom.xml file.
How do I have maven run my project... once again not a clue... ( or just spit out a commandline that I can pipe to a .bat file)
Maven Exec Plugin
% mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.App"
Also 3 ways to run a Java Main from Maven is helpful.
How about making sure all files needed are available so I can run disconnected?
Once Maven has downloaded all the files for a goal, it can be run with 'mvn -o <goal>' and Maven won't attempt to download any files. If the pom has been altered to include any additional dependencies the project will fail. The same thing can be accomplished by adding <settings><offline>true</offline></settings> to your local settings.xml
Also, using the maven-dependency-plugin suggests that it allows one to run 'mvn dependency:go-offline'. It only downloaded <dependecies/> though. I added a <plugin/> and it wasn't downloaded as part of dependency:go-offline, and consequently wasn't available in offline mode.
Obviously it can't forsee the use of any plugins that haven't been specified in the POM. Maven is unable to read your mind and download unanticipated dependencies ahead of time, however. If it's not specified in your POM, it won't be available offline.
Be aware that it is easy to include URLs in plugin configurations which obviously won't work in offline mode.e.g. Checkstyle configuration files, javadoc links to Java APIs, etc
How about being able to answer the question... why is this jar in my build?
Try running the site goal (mvn site). It builds a really useful report under target/site/index.html. Find the jar you're curious about under the dependency tree. When you find it, it will be listed under the top-level dependency (i.e. something you've added to your pom) that required it.
dependency:tree and dependency:list will also list dependencies
How do I exclude a jar from my build no matter what dependency asks for it?
Why could you want to do this? As far as I know, dependencies don't ask for things they don't need, so unless that's not correct, you're asking for a way to try to build the project without all the pieces it needs, which should fail.
When is the 2.1 version of Maven planned to be released? (or alternatively is the fix for MNG-553 planned for a 2.0.X release?) This is critical for the corporation I work for.
Maven 2.1 has come and gone. MNG-553 is implemented and documented How to encrypt server passwords.
How to replace "attainGoal" in maven 1 with plugin in maven 2?
I would like to write up a plugin that have multiple goals. Does anyone have some samples that can share? Basically, a sample goal that compiles the source and another one that packages it as a WAR would be sufficient. Please help and thanks in advance
The way to 'call goals' in maven 2 is using plugin. I think what you should do is write a plugin that comprises of other plugins (goals) that you wish to call with their respective phase. So when you call this plugin (say during compile phase), it in turn will call your 'configured plugins' to do their work. This has the same effect of specifying multiple goals.
I believe one can do the same thing without writing a plugin for it but if your requirements demand it, yes you can do it that way. For example I wrote a maven 2 plugin (boiler plate code generator) that uses jaxme plugin with some additional processing. I did sort of the same thing. This 'MyPlugin' used jaxme plugin & did some more operation as part of it's 'phase'.
Why TaglibPlugin don't add inherited attributes to my TLD ?
I'm using org.xdoclet.plugin.web.TaglibPlugin to generate TLD from my Tag library but inherited attributes are not generated. What should I do ?
XDoclet can only scan source files, so the parent class' source should be available to the plugin. Assuming
the parent class is in a different module, add a dependency for the source artifact to the plugin definition in the build section.
Where can I find a listing of the available variable references that could be use during site generation?
How do I run a shell script from inside a Mojo?
See http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/exec-mojo.html
Will the release plug-in resolve all my SNAPSHOT dependencies?
No, it will check if there are still any SNAPSHOT dependencies there and won't proceed if there are. You
will have to manually choose a stable (released) version before you can release.
How to copy files from local repo to remote repository?
You should use deploy plugin. This plugin will also create SHA1 & MD5 files needed for checksum.
Where should sql, dtds, test data and generated docs go?
SQL typically goes in src/main/sql, and I don't see a reason why DTDs couldn't follow the same pattern-src/main/dtd-but I'm not sure that DTDs would need to be included in the build in all cases. Depends on what you want to do with them.
Test data would logically go in something like src/test/resources or some such, but I would imagine it doesn't matter as long as you explicitly draw it in with a <resource> tag in your pom.xml file. See the POM reference and Ctrl-F for "resource."
Is there a way for plugin goals to be aware of the phase they are being executed on?
On a related note, is there at least a way to indicate in Maven's output when a particular phase begins, so that one can deduce a plug-in's execution phase?
When you have a project using a code generator plugin, how can we add the generated sources in the list of eclipse source directory?
How do I tell maven which version of ant I want it to call?
How do I display special characters (i.e. copyright symbol, latin-1) with APT?
Is it possible to read a file (in standard property=value format) specified in the POM and have those properties available for substitution in ${} tokens?
This is already covered in the APT mini-guide. http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-apt-format.html
I have an issue with my user.home directoy have either a space or special character ie. C:\Documents and Settings\myname & someothername. This causes an org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.pull.XmlPullParserException: entity reference names can not start with character ' ' (position: START_TAG seen ...<extendC:\Documents and Settings\myname & ... @2:44) error. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this without creating a new Windows account <read major pain> Thanks
Use the Windows short filenames for "Documents and Settings" and any other parts of the path that contain spaces.
To find the "short filename" open a DOS box and go to the containing folder. In this example, the root of drive C: and type "DIR /X" (If you forget, type DIR /? and notice the X option gives you the "short" name. My computer shows this:
06/09/2006 10:21 AM <DIR> DOCUME~1 Documents and Settings
The "short" name is DOCUME~1 and the full name is shown to it's right.
Now ... someone needs to fill in the part about how to get user.home set to the location using "short" names.
How do I call another Mojo (in a different plugin) from my Mojo?
How do I get a list of all available properties?
How do I get a list of all available properties? I already found a static list (*http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide), *but there should be a way to create a list of all available properties and their values during the build , e.g. by using a Properties-Plugin.
Here is some more helpful information from the user list:
There is no official list of [Maven 2] properties.
One thing that helps is that things defined in the POM can sometimes be referenced as properties. For example project.build.finalName gives the value from the pom that is defined in: <project>
(Skipping all the other parts of the POM) Just put the tags from the top down with "dot"s between.
There is a tricky part to this though. The POM you are looking at may have a parent pom from which it inherits values and all POMs have an ultimate ancestor in the "SUPER" pom.
If you give the command "mvn help:effective-pom" it will show you the full resulting POM that results when all the inheritance and such are considered. You can look at this pom to find the "dot" format that is used to reference something in particular. Do this by looking at how the XML tags are nested to get to a particular value.
How can I get jetty to run just before the test phase so that I can test my webapps with just "mvn test"?
Specific [Unanswered] Errors - Need more information
I've got my plugin pom setup to build everything and construct the final zip file. The issue I'm trying to wrap my brain around is keeping my feature.xml and site.xml files up to date with the correct version info. Since I can't use versions like 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT in my plugin, I have to munge the plugins pom version into something like 1.0.0.v${DATETIME} and insert that into the plugins descriptor (plugin.xml). Since the version in the plugin.xml changes I have to update the plugin entries in the feature descriptor (feature.xml), rev the feature and update the site.xml with the new feature version. Just curious to see if anyone else out there is struggling with these same issues and what if any solutions/band-aids have been implemented
This is more of a user-list type of question. It's going to be an in-depth discussion about designing and/or configuring a suite of plugins for a very specific purpose. This probably isn't a Frequently Asked Question.
Why the FTP Wagon hangs?
Need more information on this. Under what circumstances does this happen? Can the user access the server in another FTP client? Is there a stack trace associated? Do they have a corresponding <server/> section in the settings.xml?
When I run the release:prepare goal I get an authorization failed error. I tried adding the username and password into my pom.xml file and I still get the error. I checked using the command line and my username and password is being cached by subversion. Any ideas?
Your username and password may be cached separately by short and long (hostname+domain) remote repository hostnames. That is, if you access the subversion repository on the command line as "http://svn/..." and maven is using "http://svn.dev.busy.com/..." (or vice versa) your password may not be cached for both.
Suppose you have a database library in project A on svn.dev.busy.com, try the following two commands:
If either of these requires a password, then your password to SVN was not cached like it should have been, but now it should be cached, and the
mvn release:prepare should succeed.
You may prefer to use the Maven SCM Plugin to diagnose this problem, like this:
This is the entry point for a debugging discussion. From here, the user may need to verify that they have the 'svn' command in their path, and that Maven is trying to use subversion with the same username that the user has verified by hand. After that, it depends.
LEOPARD USERS: Beware that "svn --non-interactive commit" is broken on Mac OS X 10.5 leopard. http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3059 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-355
Why am I getting this error when I build my project: "Unable to locate the Javac Compiler"?
We would need to get more information about this user's POM and environment (output of the build would be most valuable) in order to effectively answer this question. Without this context, it is unanswerable.
Why do I get java.lang.NullPointerException while trying to generate site for a project?
Even a simple stacktrace for this user's error would help immensely in debugging this problem. Without specifics, any higher analysis is virtually impossible.
Probable cause: no <url> in the pom. The NPE is fixed long ago.
How to make archetype where project artifacts have names based on artifactId?
*How can I create an archetype where one of the archetype-resource files should be created with a name based on the artifactId? For instance, if I ask to create a new project based on my archetype with -DartifactId=foobar, then I'd like a foobar-stuff.xml file to appear in the project. I know that I can use ${artifactId} within files, but how can I do the same thing with filename?
How can I add two different source-directories to a project?
The build-helper-maven-plugin can help you out.
Compilation of dependencies in a project
Is there any solution that could be used to compile my dependencies (building the jars to bring it up-to-date) when I generate my webapplication?
On the "Maven in 5 Minutes" page, when I gave the command "mvn package", it didn't work.
The text neglected to say that, just before you give the command "mvn package", you have to give the
command "cd my-app" .
How do I always invoke a plugin goal from install goal?
When using the maven-buildnumber-plugin I want to always have the "buildNumber" value I use in the finalName. This requires me to invoke mvn buildnumber:create install for my project. How do I configure my pom.xml to just invoke mvn install and automatically invoke the buildnumber:create goal?
How do I use buildnumber plugin "buildNumber" value with ANT?
Using mvn ant:ant I can generate an ANT build XML. However, the finalName utilized from the pom.xml has reference to the "buildNumber" I use from the buildnumber plugin. This value is not passed to ANT. What suggestions do people have to use the SVN revision number in the ANT script. Note: the ANT script is generated. Any changes are overritten.
How can I use configuration files of a dependent module in tests of the current module?
i.e. if module X depends on module Y and module Y has some configuration files, tests of module X will might want to see those files.
How do I reuse the plugin configuration without using inheritance?
How can a Maven plugin determine the JAR file for the plugin?
Say a Maven plugin spawns off a JVM and executes a main Java class. The main Java class is defined within the plugin; therefore, the plugin must be able to determine the JAR file for the plugin. How can you do that?
How do I reference the assembly id in <execution><id> by property?
Is this possible in Maven dependencies downloads to resume a download which stopped? For example I have a dependency JAR with 360 MB and sometimes our VPN expires and then the download stalls. I would like to resume from the moment it stopped as we take hours to download this file everyday.
Why does the clean plugin require dependecies to be present? How can I avoid this?
I need to not fail the clean if dependecies aren't present, but still fail if the build products could not be deleted. In this case I have dependecies that *must* use systemPath. Those dependecies are deleted from that path by a clean of other projects. Maven goals are always executed on those other projects first so that the dependency is in place for my other project. (The build of those projects produces an SDK in a folder with a specific layout. The project with a problem is a sample that uses that SDK.). I am already aware of failOnError which is a poor workaround as it won't catch real problems.
Can I reference a Non-Maven Project and include it as jar in my Maven Project? How can i do that?

Comments about Mavic Spring Race Gloves 2012:
Okay glove for the money. Fairly thin and comfortable but not too warm, should be ok for riding at temperatures above 40F. No non-slip silicon imprints on fingers, I was worried they would be too slippery on brake levers but turned out to be a non issue. My biggest complaint is that they left bad black stains on the white bar tape I installed just a couple weeks back. I know white bar tape gets dirty and I'm not that much of a clean bike freak, but the tape was a comlete mess just after one ride. So if you get these and have light bar tape better wash them once before going on a ride.

Sponsored Search Marketing: Dynamic Pricing and Advertising for an Online Retailer
2013, forthcoming Management Science
S. Ye, G. Aydin, S. Hu
Consider a retailer using sponsored search marketing together with dynamic pricing. The retailer's bid on a search keyword affects the retailer's rank among the search results. The higher the rank, the higher the customer traffic and the customers' willingness-to-pay will be. Thus, the question arises: When a retailer bids higher to attract more customers, should the accompanying price also decrease (to strengthen the bid's effect on demand) or increase (to take advantage of higher willingness-to-pay)? We find that the answer depends on how fast the retailer increases its bid. In particular, as the end of the season approaches, the optimal bid exhibits smooth increases followed by big jumps. The optimal price increases only when the optimal bid increases sharply, including the instances where the bid jumps up. Such big jumps arise, for example, when the customer traffic is an S-shaped function of the retailer's bid.

When Homer and Loretta Lanier opened Pizza Villa in 1973, they didn't expect the restaurant to boom the way it has the past 40 years.
The former auto parts worker and banker wanted only to make a better living when opening the business at a location behind Vernon Park Mall in Kinston.
The couple was originally from Richlands, but there was no place to open it in that Onslow County town.
Now nestled in its third Kinston location on 1400Vernon Avenue, Pizza Villa turns 40 today — but still looks like an upbeat teenager.
The Laniers' sons — Dwain and Timmy — took over the restaurant in 2006 when their parents retired, but they knew the ropes long before then.
"It's been the same recipes and consistency," Dwain said. "It tastes the same now as it did 40 years ago."
Dwain's 20-year-old son helps out at Pizza Villa, making him the third generation to work at the family-owned business.
Four Laniers met around a table in the restaurant Saturday reminiscing about the restaurant's early days of marriage proposals and family dinners.
"I remember holding babies, and now they're coming in with their babies," Timmy said.
The family said customers have made their business worthwhile, having many of the same ones returning throughout the years. Dwain said Pizza Villa's prices won't break its customers' pockets, which keeps them coming back.
"We try to keep everything low for the working class," he said. "We have good prices for everyone — one fair price for everyone no matter how old they are and what they drive."
He said some nights the line is wrapped around the front of the building, especially on Tuesdays during the all-you-can-eat spaghetti special.
"People have told us this is a landmark," Loretta said.
Maria Quidel, 20, said she's been going to Pizza Villa since she was 8-years-old.
"The food is great and the atmosphere, I really like it," she said. "It's always friendly here."
She waited to try a meatball sub and added, "The pizza crackers are a must."
The two-story building housing the tradition-based restaurant is decorated with real artifacts from historic Kinston, such as bus signs and preserved ceiling panels.
"It's a peaceful environment," said waitress Jaleria Isler of Kinston. "Everyone leans on each other and we get the job done. (The owners) don't ask you to anything they wouldn't do."
Kevin Hill and Joe Strickland have each worked at the restaurant for about five years, and unanimously agree the "family orientation" makes Pizza Villa special.
"The Laniers are nice people to work for," Strickland said. "You get the same people all the time. It's a good family business."

CES: Using Eye Movements to Control a Computer or TV (Video) 43
Posted by Roblimo
from the move-your-eyes-instead-of-your-aching-wrists dept.
from the move-your-eyes-instead-of-your-aching-wrists dept.
CES named Eyetech has a solution for this problem: an eye tracker system that can control your computer or TV (or whatever) purely through eye movements. This isn't something you buy on a whim; the system costs $3000. That's a lot, but Eyetech claims they were the first ones to produce a high-accuracy eye tracker for less then $20,000. Obviously, this is a boon to profoundly disabled people. But Eyetech's Keith Jackson says, in the video, that they also have customers who use Eyetech instead of a mouse because of carpal tunnel syndrome, and that with voice recognition and on-screen keyboards -- and Eyetech, of course -- you can use your computer without (literally) lifting a finger.

IBM® Connect2013 and the Lotusphere technical track are coming fast! We've been busy with all the prep work, yet here we are with the event only a few weeks away. In addition to being busy with IBM® Connect2013, we also have been getting ready the first public beta of IBM® Notes and Domino. I really encourage you to try it out, because you'll get a sneak peek at all the great improvements we are planning for IBM® Notes and Domino Social Edition that we will be heavily featuring at IBM® Connect2013. You can catch it in the IBM® Platform for Social Business demonstration pedestals in the Product Showcase, in the Opening General Session, and in many different business and technical tracks.
- Transform business processes with a modern, social user interface and OpenSocial integration.
- Access your business applications right from the web with the IBM® Notes Browser plugin.
- Support BYOD with the most comprehensive enterprise mobile collaboration in market, now supporting Windows Phone 7.5/8, BlackBerry 10 BES, and IBM® i Server.
- Integrate, develop and deploy business applications easier and faster than ever.
And developers can continue to expect improvements in their ability to quickly and easily design, develop and deploy the latest in modern, mobile and social business applications. Support for OpenSocial, SAML, OAuth, and other standards built into Domino® Social Edition and Xpages Technology will continue to make it easier to create modern applications, and more importantly, integrate them easily with other applications. And we're looking at application developer improvements not just in Domino®. For example, as Ed Brill recently talked about:
"In the new Xwork Server, which we will discuss at IBM® Connect in January, some of the licensing terms are being changed for the better.
We plan an entry level $1000 Xwork Server, with restrictions based only on the number of NSFs, not 'applications'. We also plan to introduce a sliding scale pricing model."

South African franchises have been a linked with European plans to create a global rugby tournament in the near future.
According to The Guardian, there are secret plans being made among Europe's richest clubs to establish a breakaway tournament, which would include South African franchises. The UK newspaper also confirmed that there are separate proposals to create a world club championship, which would include the champions of the English Premiership, Pro12 and French Top 14 and European Cup, as well as the winners of Super Rugby and the respective Australian, New Zealand and South African logs.
It is believed that only money is the issue stopping these plans. The European Cup is run by the European Rugby Cup Ltd, which acts on behalf of the unions involved. The tournament's turnover has doubled in five years to just over €50m (about R545m) but there are many who believe the competition is capable of generating far more.
Frustrated clubs are aware the existing five-year ERC accord ends in June, although any stakeholder wishing to exit the tournament is still required to give two years' notice. All the tournament's major TV contracts expire in 2014 and Heineken's title sponsorship deal runs until 2013. The strict salary cap in England remains a further bone of contention for millionaire club owners who, despite the economic turmoil across Europe, are seeking to expand.
'From an English and French clubs' point of view the European Cup is a growing competition but it is essentially controlled by the unions and played by the clubs,' said an anonymous prominent club figure. 'There are some English and French clubs who do not regard that as an ideal situation. There is also a growing weariness in South Africa with Sanzar [South Africa, New Zealand and Australia Rugby]. They feel they're at a playing disadvantage by constantly having to travel and, despite having more commercial pulling power, do not get a proportionally bigger share of the revenue. They feel South Africa is subsidising Australia and New Zealand, which are relatively small markets.'
In a recent interview with SA Rugby magazine, Saracens CEO Edward Griffiths echoed the same sentiments. Saracens will take their European Cup tie against Biarritz to Cape Town in January.
'I''m not sure if that will be possible and whether the IRB will allow it [a global club competition], but I do believe new competition structures need to be implemented. The English clubs are suffering major losses. There was a total loss of R300 million from all clubs after last season, so there needs to be some changes made,' said Griffiths.
'It would be a positive step for South African franchises to join forces with European clubs. The time zone is similar and it's easier to travel to London and Paris than it is to Sydney or Auckland. This would make it easier for all clubs and franchises to earn a profit while it will also create a fresh and appealing spectacle for fan.'

Apparently, a study at the University of Zurich discovered something rather different in the brain structures between people who exhibit altruism and those who do not.
I cannot help but be curious what Dr. Harris's reaction to this news could be. I think this relates directly to his ideas about free will - which I think are very exciting - and what kind of implications this could have for ethics and politics.
Specifically, I it seems that there are people who, while being in other ways quite normal, don't have it in them to respond to an inhumane condition, and wouldn't do so unless some other kind of persuasion were being applied. I'm keenly aware of confirmation bias in this kind of situation, but perhaps this news is an unexpected argument in favor of a social safety net established by taxation?

airways in the front so that it does not interfere with breathing through your mouth during game play. The flavor is pleasantly
understated. For me, it is just noticeable enough to make me salivate a little so that my mouth doesn't dry out as fast between water

The BUAV has today launched a global AVAAZ petition urging the Mauritius Prime Minister to ban the breeding and export of primates for research.
The BUAV's shocking exposé earlier this week of the appalling slaughter of hundreds of monkeys, including pregnant females and babies, at the Noveprim primate breeding farm in Mauritius has caused an outcry around the world and resulted in widespread international media coverage.
Our shocking images reveal discarded dead monkeys stacked in piles on the floor and dumped in bins and skips like garbage. Hundreds of monkeys were slaughtered at the farm because they are deemed unsuitable for overseas research laboratories.
Watch the video which has now had over 10,000 views and view photographs (Warning – this video contain some graphic footage)
Noveprim is a major exporter of monkeys to the UK, Spain and the USA. The company is approved by the UK Home Office to supply monkeys to UK laboratories. It is partially owned by Covance Laboratories Ltd, the global contract testing company which has an animal testing facility based in Harrogate, UK.
AVAAZ has over 16 million members worldwide, almost 400,000 Facebook fans and over 370,000 followers on Twitter, so the BUAV aims to reach far and wide. Please sign the petition now.
A major investigation carried out by the BUAV in 2010 obtained shocking evidence of the cruelty and suffering involved in the trapping and breeding of the wild monkeys on Mauritius.
