You are over-thinking My question was: should Maven 5.0.0 be able to build a Maven 2.0-3.x pom? We have to be able to parse them anyway - for the case that dependencies do not have a PDT... Its debatable whether we should allow them as parents... We probably will want to allow using [2.0,5.0) plugins with [5.0,) projects (as otherwise "I can't use maven 5 because my favourite plugin doesn't work with it) If we have all those constraints... is it that much extra work to be able to build them too? (Or maybe we just pull down a compat layer that uses embedder to build those older ones) > Regards, > -- > Christian > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org <javascript:;> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org <javascript:;> > > -- Sent from my phone
