The old version 2.0.4 is trying to use an obsolete method in the plugin-plugin tools. This was removed in 1.0-alpha-10 of the doxia-site-render and causes problems with newer plugin tools and 2.0.9. This release was cut from the old 2.0.4 tag because it's 2 years old and the trunk has tons of chang

Yes we should fix the docs. I also think we need to put back the old behavior but add a deprecation warning. We seriously need to be more sensitive to randomly breaking builds like this. It's the single biggest thing we hear from the users. -Original Message- From: Dennis Lundberg [mailto:

Maven and File Encoding

2008-03-21 Thread Benjamin Bentmann
Hi, There are still several code spots in Maven that rely on the platform's default encoding when processing text files which does support build reproducibility. It could help developers to detect such defects if the CI machines were configured to run Maven with MAVEN_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=U

RE: [Pre-Vote] release maven 2.0.9

In the process we found 3 regressions in the plugin tools [1] that essentially break existing builds and/or are not compatible w

2008-03-21 Thread Jason van Zyl
The new archetype mechanism is different, and the archetypes are created from existing projects so much of that document is irrelevant. But archetypes do have their own packaging now, but it's all taken care of in the background when you use "mvn archetype:create-from- project". If you cre

Re: Is an archetype really a plugin?

2008-03-21 Thread Jason van Zyl
It's a set of plexus components that is designed to be embedded. One form is embedding in Maven in the form of a plugin. So it's not a plugin, but can be accessed through a Maven plugin. Many plugins use this strategy where they make a set of reusable plexus components and then provide a mo
