Hi Niclas, This has been the focus for about 6 months.
In terms of core, RC2 is basically RC1 with bugfixes and internal clean up. The current road map for 1.0 has no featuritis :) All new features get pushed to maven 1.1. Everything that works on RC1 right now should work on MAVEN-1_0-BRANCH. Plugins are released independantly, and while Maven comes bundled with the latest set and new features are regularly added, you are welcome to use your own stable set, and enforce that by plugin dependencies in project.xml. On the other hand, if plugins are breaking backwards compatibility without warning and/or regularly, we'd love to hear about it. Are there any specific issues that we can help you with? I know avalon:site is not working in RC1, but I have closed that bug with a valid reason (the use of ant properties to do things in Jelly won't work because of Ant's immutability of properties - just change them to <j:set .../>) Cheers, Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: Niclas Hedhman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, 15 March 2004 12:41 PM > To: Maven Developers List > Subject: Re: Suggestions for decoupling the core > > > On Monday 15 March 2004 08:11, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > As part of the ongoing process of decoupling the core, I think we > > should split the jelly tags out from the maven cvs > repository into a > > maven-tags repository. > > > Hi, > I am using Maven only because Avalon decided at some point to > adapt it, and I > suggest a much more wanted thing from Maven being done first; > > > * * Stablize it * * > > > At the moment, we are using about 3 versions (beta-10, > 1.0-rc1 and head), and > none of the them work flawlessly. > What is making things even more complex, is the fact that we > end up with > out-of-sync plug-ins, so switching between Maven versions are > more than just > changing the symlink. > > > I (and probably chores of others) would become very happy if > Maven folks took > a break from Featuritis, and concentrated on fixing up > problems and fulfilled > its promise and made a rock-solid first 1.0 Release and > possibly following up > with 1.0.1 and so forth.
