Hi Jason, I'm fine with moving the following: Cactus, checkstyle, jboss, pmd, statcvs and actually all the other remaining plugins... I still don't understand why we need to keep any plugin at all in maven core. They can be downloaded for bootstrapping (in the same way as all the other jars are).
However, I still have some questions :-) - are the latest released versions of maven-plugins plugins going to be packaged in the next release rc2? - if not, are they going to be bundled for easy installing or would users need to install them one by one (which would be a pain)? - now that the plugins are decorelated from Maven core, the plugins need to state with what version of Maven they have been tested and are compatible with. How do we do this? Do we need a new pom tag? - also, now that plugins are externalized it will be more difficult to converge in term of jar versions between them. You may end up having to download 10 versions of log4j, etc. I believe we now need more urgently something like the discussed LATEST (which would point to the latest released jar): <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>LATEST</version> </dependency> That would probably require the addition of some metadata file in the remote repo (releases.xml for ex), listing all releases. The default mode should not connect to internet every time maven builds but rather only connects on demand.
