[incubation] Publish NPM packages to npmjs
|
Hi,
N4JS is an extension of JavaScript and compiles to JavaScript. Also NPM
is supported (for JavaScript ignoramus: NPM and npmjs is to JavaScript
what Maven and Maven Central is to Java).
Although N4JS is written in Java, we provide some JavaScript libraries
along with N4JS. We even provide the headless compiler (written in Java,
i.e. a jar bundle) by means of NPM to allow for easy use in CD builds.
For these NPM packages we have created a user "n4js" at npmjs:
https://www.npmjs.com/~n4js
With regards to NPM publishing I have several questions:
1) How is publishing to NPM managed by the Eclipse Foundation in
general. Is publishing a release to NPM similar to creating a release?
2) Which NPM user is to be used? There does not seem to exists an
Eclipse Foundation user at npmjs, does it? The user "eclipse" obviously
belongs to someone else...
3) We could reuse our account "n4js", which we probably will use for
"official" Eclipse N4JS NPM releases. For nonofficial releases we would
then use our own user, but probably the same NPM names (using scoped
names then). Would that be ok (trademark wise)?
Best regards,
Jens
