I'm not sure the best practices of posting to mailing lists, as I'm new to
them.. it seems you pretty much have to top post all the time, right?

That said, I'm interested in your last point.  How is maven plugin
development separated from the maven core, architecturally?

Thanks Alot,
Aaron

Are they doing 1.1 only plugins? If the decision to break compatibility with
1.0 is made, then they do the same thing - dev their new versions on
maven-plugins/plugin-name HEAD, and branch the old one only for 1.0
compatible bugfixes.

I think that would be a crazy decision to make on behalf of the plugin
owner, as there'll be no public releases of 1.1 for a long time yet. I don't
see any need for people to break 1.0 compatibility inside a plugin right
now. If they need POM v4 features, there are conditionals to do it.

Branching the entire maven-plugins tree is a statement that the plugin
development is again tied to Maven, which just isn't the case.

Cheers,
Brett
