Hi Maven devs,

We're now near the objective [1]

On 49 plugins, 37 reached the target (with m-pmd-p requiring Java 6 instead of
5) and 2 already jumped to Maven 3.0 requirement
And maven-stage-plugin is on vote

= 40 from 49: more than 80% of the job is done, great!

Thank you to those who worked on this, particularly Karl Heinz who did a great
part of it.

This lets 9 plugins to release:
- maven-scm-plugin

One issue open which could be moved to an other release......

- maven-docck-plugin

Is ready for release...i can do that within the next days...

- maven-jar-plugin
- maven-patch-plugin

Is ready for release...i can do that within the next days...


- maven-verifier-plugin

There had been some updates in the verifier shared component and it would be wise to wait for a release of the shared component...

- maven-archetype-plugin

Benson has made it work...I can do the release if no objections Benson?


- maven-eclipse-plugin


- maven-compiler-plugin

Release 3.3 seemed to be ready for release....I can if no one else would like to do the release...


- maven-doap-plugin

Currently a single issue open...


Are there volunteers on each one, please?

IMHO, we should write down the list of plugins and versions to the Maven 2 EOL
page [2], to clearly store this info while it is available (copy/pasting the
report) and link to versioned documentation of every plugin: if no objection,
I'll do it in a few days.

This would be great...I can support if you need help...


I think that we should also have a convention on each plugin (and perhaps each
component) to document requirements history: I have no precise idea on the way
to do that. Addition to plugin-info.html (with parameters in pom.xml)? Add a
standard paragraph in index.html (and update maven-docck-plugin to check for
it)? Any idea?

Then we'll be able to upgrade to Maven 3.0 and Java 6 requirements in parent
pom.
And of course announce to users the plan towards plugins 3.x for Maven 3.0 and
JDK 6 requirement (and remember full Maven 2.x EOL, that is not only Maven,
but also plugins).

Really good job: this gives a great consistency step that was lacking before.

Regards,

Hervé
