Overview

Create a application-descriptor template repository and related tooling to be used to facilitate the creation of application-specific repositories.

Scope

Define a list of MDRs

If module's version not specified - load the latest snapshot version

For Release of AppDescriptor - specify version for modules

• A template application descriptor with placeholders which will be replaced via a maven “build”

• pom.xml which allows a maven “build” to specialize the application descriptor template, resulting in a well-formed, complete application descriptor with concrete versions.

• Must work with both snapshot and released versions of modules

• Allows for application descriptor “releases”

• Instructions (README) for how to use this (e.g. create a new repo, copy these files into place, change this, update that, etc.)

Acceptance Criteria

• The required steps are clearly documented for creation an application GitHub repository leveraging the work done in scope of this story.

• An overview is given to the team (possibly even an demonstration from local env).
