Ok, here's my proposed plan: 1.4.2 has been cut and the release vote is in progress, so because this issue existed in earlier releases (ie. it's not a regression) I don't see any reason to abort this release, because that wouldn't save any time in fixing this problem - so I'll release 1.4.2 if the vote passes. In the meantime I'm running the failing build on various machines (although I have yet to recreate the failure) - once I receive the patches I will review them and make the necessary commits to the bundleplugin. The other components, such as Bnd, can be temporarily patched by adding the patched source directly to the bundleplugin build - this can then be removed later when we update Bnd. The patched bundleplugin will become 1.4.3, and the next stable release with the new version of Bnd will become 1.6.0 - this is because the Bnd tool now requires Java5 which is a potentially big change, so we should reflect that in the bundleplugin version.
