Probably not the most rational approach. If none of the developers responded it more likely means none of us are interested, which probably means we're not to keen on the idea, which most likely means your patch won't get integrated. You pretty gave no explanation as to why catalogs would be a good thing other than saying: --- I think it could solve a lot of http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/EnsureProjectConsistencyWithEntities --- > I have 2 questions; > > 1.

You should probably make an attempt to explain yourself a little more clearly before potentially wasting your time. For one, I don't really even know what catalogs are or how they are used, or how they would be of benefit maven. The other thing is that if catalog support is something only supported by things like xerces and not simple parsers like the xpp3 parser then it's definitely not going to survive into maven2. Additionally the patch is certainly not going in before the 1.0 release. > 2. In MavenUtils.getNonJellyProject(), there is a 1), 2) & 3) steps.
