why 1.1.x?

in case there was a bugfix release on 1.1? I thought that was what the
branch was for... maintenance of 1.1.

or is there going to be 2 completely different strands of development?


I thought to do 1.x in the branch instead of only maintenance in
1.1.xbecause I don't know how many time we'll need  for the  first
2.0 release. User will probably need some new small feature before the
2.0release and not only maintenance.

With the roadmap discussion recently, I thought it was going to be an incremental move towards 2.0 on trunk - 1.2 will have some parts and refactorings, 1.3, 1.4 and so on. I'm not sure why there would need to be two streams of development? I think there's a real danger of getting lost in the 2.0 trap (c.f. Maven 1.0, Maven 2.0 and Maven 2.1 :)

I'm actually keen to do a couple of small things myself and get a release out:
- a few small bug fixes, like the lost change sets for some builds
- better error handling
- switch to a Jetty runtime without the plexus appserver so we can use jetty 6 - add a call to svn info --xml to check whether to do an svn update to speed up working copy updates

Just stuff I see from running vmbuild and the maven zone.

I think that and a couple of other refactorings that are being discussed on here would make a good 1.2 in the next couple of months. WDYT?
