Ounce Teams With Maven


New version of analysis engine integrates with Apache’s build platform

January 3, 2008 —  Ounce Labs yesterday released the latest version of its flagship security analysis engine, with new build automation capabilities that include support for the Apache Software Foundation’s Maven build platform.

Ounce 5.0.4 comes with two new components: the Ounce-Maven plug-in and the Ounce Automation Server.

The Ounce-Maven plug-in allows Ounce to integrate with the Maven build environment by enabling the generation of Ounce projects and applications that are based on Maven project files.

Ounce scans can also be carried out on Maven projects with the option to publish and save results, and a report can be displayed with the results of the scan.

The plug-in operates independently of other Ounce components when creating application and project files, but it uses the Ounce Automation Server for scanning and reporting.

The Ounce Automation Server allows the managed running of scans and publishing the results in addition to generating reports. It can be configured to act as an Ounce user and, when in use, have the same permissions of that user. It comes with a free-standing CLI, the Ounce Automation Server Command Line client. According to Ounce officials, clients of the Ounce Automation Server are tied to a particular host, reducing the likelihood of confusion.

The source code for the Ounce-Maven plug-in will be hosted at the Codehaus open source project repository.
