I'm not sure on the JIRA numbers, but here goes:

surefire:  the whole forkmode thing.  We need the forkmode pertest to 
work.    This is a "must be released" thing.   I think its MSUREFIRE-20.

antrun: the snapshot add the testSourceRoot item which we need to generate 
test sources.  Worked with Kenny on irc to resolve this issue.  This is 
also a "must be released" thing.   Don't think there is a JIRA number for 
it.

compile: this is recent.   Carlos updated our pom to use the latest 
compile plugin due to changes in the configuration to make it more usable 
for JDK 1.5 users.  (Xlint flags)   Carlos would have more details.   We 
COULD back this out back to the older version if needed.   Not a big 
deal.   We're using the snapshot to help with testing.


Not required to build/test, but nice to have:
pmd: we need the ruleset config item that Carlos added the other day.  We 
can turn off pmd if we had to.

Not sure about:
jxr-maven-plugin
jdepend-maven-plugin
maven-site-plugin
maven-javadoc-plugin  - Carlos would need to answer these ones since he 
added them to our pom.   We don't need the jxr or jdepend info for 
anything so we could remove those.   Javadoc is needed, but we may be 
able to use the release version.   No idea on the site thing.

Those are all the snapshots (other than our own) that are in 
my .m2/repository.   


If none of these are on the plan to release with 2.0.2, how can I find out 
what the plans are?   I was planning on merging the changes to completely 
change over to maven (from ant) on Tuesday.   If there aren't plans to 
release these by mid-January, I cannot do that and we'll probably need to 
drop all maven migration plans and work for a while.   No sense 
continuing to spend my time working on something we won't be able to use.   
Really, the only high priority ones are surefire and antrun.   The others 
are easily enough disabled or worked around to meet our release 
requirements.   

Thanks!
