Does anyone know what is the planned release date for 2.0.1? I know it's open source, so nothing is set in stone, but I assume there is some target date.

There is a bug in there that needs 2.0.1, so we have the same problem there. I am still sticking with Maven 1.x until 2.0.1 comes out. Maven 2 is the first release of a major rewrite of Maven, so I'm not suprised that the core will need some updating to satisfy all the plugin's demands. regards, Wim 2005/11/30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > Hi guys, > > I'm having thoughts about plugin release cycles that I'd like to share > with > you. > > I've been watching for Maven War plugin next release for quite some time > now.
