Is this necessary? It is a nice thing to have during bug fixes.

I am planning to maintain the packaging plugin and configs on the trunk
despite all the cosmetic changes done by RTC-2161. I still need to add
some functionality and tie some loose ends. I need to add classPath fix
and explicit-version.properties fix. Jason, Do I have your permission
to do so?
We should submit 3 patches for RTC -
1. One from the branch
2. One with packaging plugin and configs made from the trunk
3. One with assembly plugin and Assemblies made from the trunk
The patches 2 and 3 can be reviewed and tested independently of 1.
IMO this is the only way to keep the build current at all times
while we wait for RTC and other issues to be resolved.
What do PMC members who will be reviewing this work feel about this
approach?

Things do not always go as planned. I had planned to have all the
servers running on the trunk before I left for my vacation.
Thanks
