[fedora-java] XMvn 1.4.0 release notes

[Mikolaj Izdebski]

What's new in XMvn 1.4.0

XMvn 1.4.0 was released on 2013-12-09.  Most important changes
include:

* Minor features

  * Limited support for absolute JPP artifact files

    Artifact files specified as absolute paths pointing to arbitrary
    locations are now allowed.  They are implemented as symbolic
    links which are pointing to the primary artifact file, which
    must be explicitly specified as non-absolute file.

    Appropriate suffixes are added depending on artifact version,
    classifier and extension.  As absolute symlinks can be placed at
    any location, configured repositories are not taken into account
    and flat repository layout is always assumed.

    Absolute symlinks are only created for artifact files and
    attached artifacts, but not for POM files.  Absolute files for
    artifacts with no files (i.e. POM artifacts) are silently
    ignored.

* Minor bugfixes

  * Fix NullPointerException bug in installer code

  * Allow file installation in root directory

    XMvn was unable to install files in root directory because of
    false assumption that every directory has a parent.  This was
    fixed in version 1.4.0.
