Yes. The current Maven will essentially be a component of its own. That is not a problem. How well they will interact with new plugins I'm not sure yet. But A lot of the standard plugins will more than likely just be rewritten. > Is the repository compatible? Yes, it will be.

After 1.0 is released it will be a steam train toward the next version and will be covered thoroughly in a book Bob and I hope to write. Bob and I are meeting in Amsterdam this week to go over the outline and we are going to keep users informed the whole way along which means getting lots of input on the next version from users. > If not, > what can be done to make the plugins compatible? What work needs to be > done in that respect? Essentially the current version of Maven will work as a component. Really it means making this version an encapsulated bean which I did work toward and Brett is actually integrating that code. Once 1.0 is out there will be a deluge of information and the book will be the initial impetus and I hope the motivation to complete to end where the book arrives around the release of the next version. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
