Hi,
due to some questions related to plugin changes on another mailing
list, I wondered what changes have been done to the maven-1.0 branch
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/core/branches/MAVEN-1_0-BRANCH)
post the maven-1.0.2 release
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/core/tags/MAVEN_1_0_2).
A diff came up with "no changes".
As maven 1.0.x has proven to be stable, there are many users out
there that probably cannot upgrade to a beta version and are forced to
use a maven 1.0 version for building.
The 1.0.2 release is now ~nine months old and a number of plugins
included with 1.0.2 have been significantly upgraded (e.g. Subversion
support in Changelog or the xdoc plugin (which still shows 1.9 on the
download page BTW) or the jar/artifact deploy code (which even uses a
different syntax for describing the upload repositories now).
So, wouldn't it make sense to cut a maven 1.0.3 release with the core
unchanged and just the upgraded plugins bundled? This would also bring
the 1.0.x plugins more in line with the documentation on the web site.
(e.g. if you download maven 1.0.2, you get maven-jar-plugin 1.6.1. The
docs on the web site are for 1.7 and simply not working for
1.6.1. There is not documentation for maven-jar-plugin anywhere to
find on the maven web site (or I was not able to find it)).
Best regards
Henning
