I am very sad.

Hi, That’s really sad news. I have been using classmethod (and adding in some enhancements) on a pet project for a few years. I would like to be kept informed (via the list) if anyone picks this up going forwards. On a personal note, I would like to extend my sympathies to his friends and family at this difficult time. Kind Regards, Steve

Oh gosh, very sad to hear this. Condolences to him, his family, and friends. I never met him, and all I know of him is this plugin, but it is testament to a very talented and thorough programmer.

[kazurayam]

I have created and published a project on GitHub where I proposed "Neo GOF toolset" (Gradle + Shell + AWS CLI + CloudFormation) which, I believe, can be an alternative to this Gradle plugin.

Thanks again to @dai0304.
R.I.P

I need to make a change and am willing to fork a "reboot" - or is there going to be somebody who is going to take over otherwise? I'm not sure of the classmethod github org (beyond this plugin).

[nedtwigg]

Thanks @JustinPihony! I'm not associated with the author or @classmethod in any way, but I just started watching your fork. Happy to follow you there, or stay here if classmethod wants to add committers to this project.

[JustinPihony]

If classmethod* wants, then they can add some contributors. Otherwise I ended up creating https://github.com/JustinPihony/gradle-aws-plugin-reboot instead of the fork since you cannot search in a fork (unless it has more stars). It loses the history, but I personally hate not having search.

Also, I will have to rename the packages since Gradle Plugins have an ownership system...
