Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-8485: -------------------------------------- Not sure why this is a chicken and egg. Maven 4 is totally usable with Maven 3 plugins. It contains a bunch of enhancements which would be nice to deliver, even if the Maven 4 API is finalised in 4.1.0 or 4.2.0 release. Why is that a problem ? > Finish experiments and commit > ----------------------------- > > Key: MNG-8485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8485 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-2 > Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold > Priority: Blocker > > Roughly 200 classes and interfaces in Maven core are annotated > `@Experimental` . There might be a reason to ship a few things in 4.0 that > might still change but 200 is far too many. Commit to these APIs (i.e. remove > the annotation) or fix and/or remove those types. > Ar least some of them such as org.apache.maven.api.services.BaseRequest are > already package protected, in which case we don't need the annotation at all. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
