I think it's time to create a branch to release Maven 4.0.0 GA in the
coming weeks and switch master to 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT. Thoughts ?
One element that may be adjusted before GA. Maven 4 introduced a new way
to control where to put a JAR file, using the <type> element. There is
currently (non exhaustive list):
* jar
* classpath-jar
* modular-jar
* processor
* classpath-processor
* modular-processor
* test-jar
In a discussion with some IDE developers, it has been suggested that
this list could be simplified with a combination of <type> and <scope>.
For example:
<type>classpath-jar</type> is implicitly (keeping in mind that the
<scope> value is compile by default):
<type>classpath-jar</type> <scope>compile</scope>
Likewise, <type>modular-jar</type> is implicitly:
<type>modular-jar</type> <scope>compile</scope>
But classpath-processor could be simplified as below (reusing the
existing classpath-jar type):
<type>classpath-jar</type> <scope>processor</scope>
Likewise, modular-processor could be simplified as below (reusing the
existing modular-jar type):
<type>modular-jar</type> <scope>processor</scope>
And so on for test-jar, doclet, taglet, etc. Any though? If this
principle is accepted, I can try to prepare a pull request. It would be
preferable to make such change before GA.
