It might be easy to he do but I have a feeling you will not be liked by the community. By doing this in your own plugin or forked codebase you will by merely running it put a large additional strain and the public and shared infrastructure like maven central and others. You will not get any good will and might end up getting blocked by central. I really suggest you drop this idea and adopt a proper process or move to a different tool. manfred --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
